As with all pieces in this collection, the design of the mechanical max bill Chronoscope is highly impressive due to its focus on the bare essentials. This can be evidenced in the plain, minimalistic design of the dial. Relinquishing display of the small seconds creates a particularly striking symmetry.
“Precision doesn’t have to be loud.”
Designed by the legendary Max Bill, this chronoscope is where Bauhaus ideals meet mechanical complexity. The matte silver dial, minimalist Arabic numerals, and finely balanced subdials make this one of the most wearable chronographs in modern horology. Understated, yet entirely intentional.

“The more you look at it, the less you want to change.” — A Max Bill fan
Max Bill believed that time should be measured with clarity and beauty. This chronoscope reflects that philosophy in every millimeter—from the purity of its dial to the reliable beat of its automatic movement.
