Junghans Max Bill Auto Blk Strap 027/3400.02

The Max Bill line by Junghans are truly iconic timepieces that have remained largely unchanged since their debut in the 1960’s. The eponymous designer and architect was trained in the famous Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany where he honed an undeniable skill at creating minimal, modern works that manage to be as refreshing today as they were at their inception.

With the Max Bill watches the play of line, form and tone creates pieces that are near perfect examples of what the everyday watch should be. Effortlessly stylish with authentic vintage flair, highly legible at all times, modest on the wrist, yet can start a conversation. They are perfect for the office, a dinner with the relatives or a casual jaunt around town. They also exude German-made quality with refined details like curved hands and impossibly thin bezels.

The automatic version is the ideal modern update to the classic design with a slightly larger 38mm diameter. Beating inside is the caliber J800.1 which is based on the Swiss-made automatic ETA 2824-2 movement. Featuring 25-jewels, 38-hour power reserve, hacking seconds (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out), it is a reliable workhorse movement.
