Founded more than 150 years ago, Junghans has deep roots in German watchmaking. Perhaps one of their most famous lines is the Max Bill collection. Max Bill, a Swiss architect and designer who studied the Bauhaus style, is an influential and iconic figure in the world of minimalist design. Truly, his timeless designs for Junghans watches from 1961 remain unchanged today.
Last year, Junghans celebrated the Swiss architect’s legacy with the Max Bill Edition 2017, and it seems that Junghans is making it a tradition to continue the celebration of the legendary architect and his lasting artistic influence. From a handful of dial colors, hour markers, and movement variations from the Max Bill line, the Max Bill Edition 2018 features a quartz movement, white dial, and the iconic Max Bill arabic numbers for the hour markers. The watch comes in a handsome 38mm case size and a thickness of less than 8mm, making it a refined and dressy timepiece that easily slides under a cuff. The signature Junghans domed plexiglass with scratch-resistant coating is mesmerizing and warm to the touch.
The watch features an artwork from the grafische reihen (graphic series) by Max Bill, titled sicherheit (security) and printed underneath a see-through mineral crystal case back. Green date numerals and come on a calfskin leather strap with matching green stitching and underlay round off this special edition. The Junghans Max Bill Edition 2018 is a memorable way to wear the spirit of Bauhaus on your wrist and admire its artwork wherever you go.
