Junghans max bill Quarz

max bill — architect, painter, sculptor and graphic designer — collaborated with Junghans in the 1960s to create a watch that embodies the Bauhaus ideal: form strictly follows function. The matte silver-plated dial carries only fine minute-track indices and slender baton hands, both tipped with eco-friendly Super-LumiNova, so nothing competes with the reading of time. The gently domed, double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal preserves that clarity across every angle of light. A polished stainless steel case, just 7.9 mm tall, houses a four-screw case back and a knurled crown — details that signal considered engineering without a single decorative flourish. The smooth calfskin strap, stitched with a single contrasting seam and closed by a polished Junghans-engraved pin buckle, completes a composition that has remained entirely coherent across six decades.
