Junghans Max Bill ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Calendar day 13 of 24 ๐ŸŽ… May be the most German of all German watches. These dial designs stretches back half a century and more. Often recommended for newcomers to the hobby if they want something "affordable" with a distinct design or their first German piece. Does it's simplicity make it stand out or disappear in the masses?

This one is to blame for Daniel Wellington watches. Class, but not enough for a legend.ย

I thought that we had to blame the middlemen for DW.

You should not worry about them. They are already cut. Many times.ย

Classic, for inspiring Bauhaus watches. Irritating, for giving Daniel Wellington and their ilk a veneer of respectability.

Legend. First, best and only Bauhaus watch.ย

Does anyone besides pretentious architects and artists wear this sort of thing, or even know it exists? I'm not counting the copies that tend to accidentally slip in some style or are forgiven by nature of being barely double digit watches.

I do and I'm neither an architect, nor am I an artist. IDK about pretentious, tho.

Anyway I own and wear a Max Bill Bauhaus. I don't wear it very often because while it's only 38mm in diameter the lack of bezel makes it look larger than it is on my wrist and while long sleeves would solve this issue, it's austere design is not a good match for most of my wardrobe.

I wonder the same thing. I hope we get an answer, if there is one.

I wear one and I am not an architect nor an artist nor pretentious (think though ๐Ÿคฃ). I love the fine lines, the domed glass and the ease when looking at it. You instantly see the time and itโ€™s reduced down to the necessary without giving the feeling that something is missing.ย

Simple and functional with graceful styling.

Just for the record,I'm not an architect !

To be honest.

Things like the font and the attention to detail that junghans puts into the little things give them way more depth than first meets the eye.
