Description
Junghans max bill Handaufzug
A pure expression of Bauhaus thinking, the max bill Handaufzug pairs a matte silver-plated dial and gold-toned PVD case with a hand-winding mechanical movement — a design virtually unchanged since Max Bill conceived it in 1961. Suited to those who regard the watch as a functional object elevated to art.
In 1961, Swiss architect, sculptor and Bauhaus alumnus Max Bill collaborated with Junghans to create a series of mechanical wristwatches whose design has remained essentially intact for over six decades. The hallmarks are immediately recognisable: a puristic dial bearing Max Bill's own specially drawn rounded numerals, a full minute track, and a domed convex sapphire crystal whose gentle curve reinforces the historical character of the timepiece. The gold-toned ion-plated stainless steel case is polished throughout and hypoallergenic — suitable even for sensitive skin. Gold-polished hands and Super-LumiNova-treated hour and minute hands ensure legibility in any light. Inside, calibre J805.1 — a proven Swiss-based manual-winding movement — delivers 42 hours of power reserve through a Nivarox hairspring and Incablock shock protection. A stitched calfskin strap closes with a gold-toned stainless steel pin buckle, completing a watch that is, at once, historically rooted and timelessly modern.
