Architect of time

A product of the Bauhaus generation, pupil of Walter Gropius and kindred spirit of le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe - was a virtuoso designer and creative artist, as his diverse activities as a painter, architect, sculptor, teacher and designer amply demonstrate. His work is characterized by a clarity of design and precise proportions which are unrivaled to this day.

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.
