Max Bill Hand Wound Watches

The Max Bill design watch is absolutely true to form of the original Max Bill design watches dating from the 1950’s. Very little has altered apart from the fact that it is constructed today from modern materials in a modern environment, and of course with a modern movement. These factors make for an altogether more accurate, stronger and more reliable wristwatch. It is a classical design and looks like it has stepped right of the decade from which it was first introduced – and many watches standards were set by designs like this one. It has got a 17 jeweled Swiss made ETA 2801 hand wound movement. The case is all stainless steel which is highly polished, and slender and sleek in deign. It has a solid steel snap on case back which bears Max Bill’s signature. The dial is mat silver with minute markings and numbers in the outer chapter and hour numbers on the inner chapter. Long flowing lines seem to be eminent in the design, and the hour markers are long. It also has long hands touching the correct points where the hour hand tips the hour numbers, the minute hand touches the minute marks but not the numbers, and the central sweep second hand follows the same line as the minute hand. The hands are luminous filled, with double luminous dot at the 12 position. Has an attractive convex highly domed plexi glass acrylic crystal, which at some angles makes the dial appear slightly curved, creating an appealing effect. It comes on a good quality fawn colour leather strap with polished steel pin buckle. Made in Germany with Swiss movement. Brand new with 2 year warranty, comes with box and instructions. Junghans reference 027/3701.00. Width is 34.5 mm excluding crown and 36 mm including crown, Lug to lug is 38 mm, Thickness is 9 mm. Ref. MXB 01. Price is £375 or US $695 |

The Max Bill design watch is remains true to form of the original Max Bill design watches dating from the 1950’s. Almost nothing has altered apart from the fact that it is constructed today from modern materials in a modern environment, and of course with a modern movement. These factors make for an altogether more accurate, stronger and more reliable wristwatch. It is a classical design and looks like it has stepped right of the decade from which it was first introduced – and many watches standards were set by designs like this one. It has got a 17 jewelled Swiss made ETA 2801 hand wound movement. The case is all stainless steel which is highly polished, and slender and sleek in deign. It has a solid steel snap on case back which bears Max Bill’s signature. The dial is mat silver with minute markings and hour markings giving a very minimalist feel to it. Long flowing lines seem to be the main design influence, therefore the hour markers and hands are long. The long hands touch the correct points where the hour hand tips the hour marks, the minute hand touches the minute marks numbers, and the central sweep second hand follows the same line as the minute hand, just tipping the minute/second marks as it sweeps past them. The hands are luminous filled, with double luminous dot at the 12 position, and single luminous dots at the 3, 6 and 9 position. Has an attractive convex highly domed plexi glass acrylic crystal, which at some angles makes the dial appear slightly curved, creating an appealing effect. It comes on a good quality black colour leather strap with polished steel pin buckle. Made in Germany with Swiss movement. Brand new with 2 year warranty, comes with box and instructions. Junghans reference 027/3700.00. Width is 34.5 mm excluding crown and 36 mm including crown, Lug to lug is 38 mm, Thickness is 9 mm. Ref. MXB 03. Price is £375 or US $695 |
