"Form follows function." — Bauhaus Principle
Designed by Swiss architect and designer Max Bill in collaboration with Junghans, this model is a direct descendant of one of the most iconic watch designs of the 20th century. Striking a delicate balance between simplicity and sophistication, the Max Bill Automatic with matte silver dial is a watch with soul—and purpose.
Why It Matters
There’s minimalism, and then there’s meaningful minimalism. The Max Bill Automatic 27/3500.02 embodies that principle. Clean lines, uncluttered numerals, and a domed crystal that echoes vintage elegance while staying unmistakably modern.
This is not just a timepiece—it’s a conversation with the past, made relevant for today.
Key Features

The Wearing Experience
Comfortably sized at 38 mm, the Max Bill wears with refined presence. The leather strap quickly forms to the wrist, while the curvature of the domed sapphire crystal adds a tactile richness. This is the kind of watch that quietly complements everything—from weekend denim to formalwear.
"Every glance reminds me that good design needs no embellishment." — A Max Bill owner
