100% Bauhaus:

Architect of time

Max Bill was one of the most unusual artists of our time. Acknowledged as a universal genius, he worked as
an architect, painter, sculptor and product designer and has left behind a extensive portfolio of creations.

This includes one of the most fascinating watch series ever designed – the wall clocks and wristwatches he
created for Junghans – and which remain practically unchanged today.

As a Bauhaus student of Walter Gropius, he intuitively understood how to apply the pursuit of constructive
clarity and precise proportions to his work. His unrivaled drive to create is also seen in the field of education.

He was not only the co-founder and first rector of the Ulm College of Design, but the school building is also a
Max Bill original design.

Form follows function

The collaboration between Junghans and Max Bill began in 1956 with the design of a kitchen clock which he
developed together with his students at the Ulm College of Design. The solution brings to life what Bauhaus
functional design is all about. The clock’s circular face with its distinctive numerals features the most logical
and most clearly functional of clock shapes. The design of the face cascaded directly into the design of wristwatches
in 1961, when Max Bill laid the cornerstone for what was destined to become his celebrated line of watches and
which moved on to become true design classics.
