The Watch That Defines the Max Bill Collection
The Junghans Max Bill Automatic 27/4700.02 is one of the purest expressions of modern watch design. Created from the original concepts developed by Swiss architect and designer Max Bill, it reflects a philosophy where every detail serves a purpose and nothing feels unnecessary.
Its balanced dial, distinctive typography, and gently domed crystal create a watch that feels remarkably current despite a design heritage spanning more than six decades. The discreet date display adds everyday practicality while preserving the calm simplicity that defines the collection.
Why This Reference
Among the Max Bill automatic models, the 27/4700.02 has become a favorite for its versatility. It offers the warmth and character of a mechanical movement together with a clean, highly legible dial that transitions naturally from business attire to relaxed weekends.
Rather than following trends, it follows principles - clarity, proportion, and enduring design. It is a watch that feels just as relevant years from now as it does today.
On the Wrist
The 38 mm stainless steel case wears comfortably on a wide range of wrists, while the slim profile allows it to slip easily beneath a cuff. The domed sapphire crystal softens reflections and gives the dial a subtle sense of depth without distracting from its remarkable legibility.
Finished with a black leather strap, the watch feels refined without becoming formal - equally suited to everyday wear, travel, and professional settings.
