Junghans Max Bill Automatic 38mm

The watch that started it all for me: the Junghans Max Bill. At first I got a white dial quartz one. One day I crushed the crystal and threw it away. The second one I got was this black dial automatic watch. I loved it, but over time I started to dress more casual for work and didn’t wear it as much anymore and sold it. Maybe I get one again someday, maybe the 35mm hand wound model?

Which watch started you on your watch journey?

Vostok Amphibia (Milspec Dial) that was a gift from my father many years ago.

And the Max Bill Junghans are amazing design - being Bauhaus of course. Very nice watch to start off with IMO.

My wife gifted me this Speedy in 2019 and Pandora's Box was officially open for business.

I've definitely been very fortunate to find a great human being to spend my life with. She's one of the most balanced, hard working, honest and intelligent people I've ever met. I initially thought marriage wasn't something I wanted to do but life had other plans.

I agree. I don’t like the versions without the numbers just because I want to see the 4

Why did I have to learn what mechanical watches are? WHY ME?
