JUNGHANS – Max Bill Automatic Watch 27/7806.02

Max Bill and Bauhaus design

The Junghans Max Bill Automatic Watch takes it’s name from one of the most extraordinary designers of the last century. An architect, painter and sculptor, Max Bill taught at the world famous Bauhaus design school in Dessau. Following the Bauhaus design principles of utility, functionality and good design, Bill began designing watches for Junghans in 1961. To this day, Max Bill watches have remained largely unchanged by Junghans and still demonstrate Bill’s love of clean lines and legibility.

Max Bill Automatic – Red Dot Winner 2018

Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Award for design in 2018, this Junghans Max Bill Automatic Watch is the epitome of Bauhaus principles. Firstly, with a 38mm PVD coated stainless steel case, the Max Bill Automatic has a large dial opening and pared back case with minimal bezel. This ensures that the time is the focus of the watch rather than what is surrounding it. Designed with legibility and accuracy in mind, the dial is in a silver-plated soft grey finish with printed arabic numerals and indexes. The hands are shaped for precision and along with the minute track are coated with a luminous substance to ensure legibility in poor light conditions.

Fitted with a reliable J800.1 automatic movement, the watch has a power reserve of up to 38 hours. A date function is also a useful feature. Finally, the supple strap is in grey leather with a PVD coated stainless steel pin buckle.
