"The good designer is the one who designs with function in mind." — Max Bill
This special edition Max Bill Chronoscope pays tribute to the legendary Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany. The caseback proudly features an engraving of the Bauhaus building, while the dial design stays true to Max Bill’s uncompromising clarity. It's both a functional instrument and a design artifact—crafted to honor a century of ideas that shaped modern living.
Why It Matters
When timekeeping meets architecture, something unique happens. This edition is not a watch that shouts, but one that speaks with intention. The stark white dial, luminous hands, and minimalist minute track align with Max Bill’s original vision: to create timepieces that embody clarity, balance, and logic.
The red date window—an elegant pop of contrast—recalls the distinctive red doors of the Bauhaus school. Every detail reflects a legacy of function-driven design.
