Watches... as timeless as it would be without forgetting the time.” Max Bill's quote illustrates his striving for reduction and modernity. Just one example of this is the characteristic, logically structured dial of this design icon. And in order not to “forget the time,” the watch winds itself automatically using the energy generated by the wearer.

Description

"Design that speaks softly—yet endures loudly."

This Max Bill Automatic in black is proof that minimalist doesn’t mean invisible. Designed by architect and Bauhaus student Max Bill, and produced by Junghans in Germany, this watch brings bold contrast and refined proportions together in one of the most recognizable timepieces of the 20th century.

Why It Matters

Not every watch is designed to be noticed—some are designed to be remembered. The Ref. 027/3400.02 features a striking black dial with crisp white Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and a subtle domed crystal. It balances clarity with elegance, in a form that wears as naturally with a blazer as with your favorite t-shirt.

Key Features

• Movement: Self-winding Junghans Caliber J800.1 (ETA 2824-2 base) with 38-hour power reserve
• Case: 38 mm stainless steel with polished finish
• Crystal: Domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating
• Dial: Black matte dial with white Arabic numerals and luminous markers
• Strap: Genuine black leather strap with stainless steel buckle
• Water Resistance: 50 meters (5 ATM)

The Wearing Experience

The 38 mm case sits low and comfortable on the wrist, while the domed crystal adds just the right curve and vintage character. The black dial provides crisp readability without glare, and the leather strap breaks in beautifully over time. It’s a design that feels quiet but confident—understated, not underwhelming.

"The elegance of the dial pulled me in. But it’s how easily it blends into everyday life that keeps it on my wrist." — A Max Bill owner
