Chronoscope, black face, black band
In 1962 Swiss artist Max Bill (1908-1994) created a few mechanical watches for the German company Junghans. Reissued in recent years, most were and are very simple-looking, too understated for my personal tastes. But this rare Chronoscope model has a certain something. Its minimalism is just plain attractive.
A product of the Bauhaus generation, Max Bill was Walter Gropius' pupil and kindred spirit of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Characterized by a clarity of design and precise proportions, his work as a painter, architect, sculptor, teacher and designer amply demonstrates his virtuosity as a designer and creative artist.
This truly is a very special watch. The Max Bill Chronoscope Watch was designed by Max Bill for Junghans in the 1960's. This is an authentic edition, made by the original manufacturer Junghans. The simplicity and proportionality of the the amazing Chronoscope design reflects the "Bauhaus" design sensibilitity of Max Bill, as well as the precision watchmaking of Junghans.
