Nice to see Watchfinder return to this format of videos. I love the podcast style. But this is why we come to this channel.

I have owned the Junghans Max Bill time-only automatic version (no chronograph) for about 6 years now, and it's still beautiful. Not the best in terms of performance or finishing of course (I only paid $430 USD for it second-hand), but the DESIGN is second to none. It is so crisp and pure ... I just love to stare at it. I especially love the way that number 4 is portrayed. Pure Bauhaus!

it's on my shortlist too

Just an amazingly well designed watch. I've got mine last year and it is simply stunning. Just the simplicity of it makes it something special. I've got the "normal" version without the day function and a polished case instead of the PVD case as shown. In my opinion, the polished version is the better version of the Max Bill Chronoscope range. It looks great both on a leather strap or on a Milanese strap. Hate the term but it really is a strap monster. The case back is a bit prone to scratching so a butterfly clasp is almost mandatory and compliments the watch as well.

I disagree regarding the straps. Imho only very simple straps fit this watch. Just plain leather straps without patterns or very visible seams. No nato etc. "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Just superb! Thank you for bringing out Junghans. You are absolutely the best!

Thank you for this channel... stunning like always (and story and the video) !

One for the records really .. this video does a great job of explaining design , engineering and existence , and philosophy so elegantly and eloquently , like some form of divinity inspired it , including bauhaus and the concepts behind , so serene that it provides serenity .

You have to be mindful that when you choose sapphire crystal it can alter and compromise the dome effect. But as far as i know when sapphire breaks it shatters completely instead of getting a crack. So it is not invisible. It is relatively scratch proof. but you have to weight durability vs aesthetic. I love dome effect. It is gorgeous. IF sapphire alters the dome effect, I'll rather go for the aesthetics of this beautiful watch.

@@raypatson8775 It's always more likely to scratch the crystal than shatter it to the point of getting a crack. Not to mention the Junghans is using some sort of protection layer so it's harder to scratch it, but if you scratch it, you cannot polish it even though the crystal is plastic. And that is a huge problem for me. I would rather have a sapphire glass or just a plastic without any layer over the top.

Glad to see Junghans here on this channel !

Max Bill was a student of the Bauhaus design school which fundamentally influenced his later designs. Jonathan Ive is a big fan of the Bauhaus school and its minimalist principles. That’s why we find so many similarities in the design languages between the works of Max Bill and modern Apple Design.

Junghans Max Bill is my first mechanical watch I bought more than 10 years ago and it is beautiful! I prefer the plain three hand with date version..

That was the best intro ever lmao. What is Junghans, who is Max Bill and why did they make a chronoscope? Pure gold

Hi it be nice to see you doing video about Gshock like the GWM5610-1

Although the Max Bill gets a lot of the love for Junghans, I myself have the Meister Calendar. Similar to the Max Bill, it's 40mm and all dial with a domed acrylic glass. The dial is stripped back and minimal. So it's easy to read, even with day, month, day of the month and moon phase as complications. It's a little older in design than the Max Bill, but is similarly elegant.

Love your voice and your humour!

This is the most beautiful watch I've ever seen

Great video on a very important watch. These designs are extraordinary: timeless time pieces. When a design has so few details, each detail must be exceptionally well judged. BTW, on some views, the day seems misaligned on this watch.

I love their design and i had one in the past. They are great but the finish matches the price range and i mean that in both the good and the bad way.

Easy to look at and very legible.

I love the looks. Maybe you should also take a spin at Mühle Glashütte and Nomos Glashütte.

The camera work in these in just incredible.

oh cool, probably my favourite watch. So glad its getting some publicity here :)

I was trying to decide between the chrono & the date Max Bills. In the end, I bought the date model, in the Bau Haus edition, because it was originally designed by Bill & had the flavour of the BauHaus design, found it perfect as an architect's watch😊

Nomos is considered more 'premium' but in terms of design, I feel they're a bit too overly simplistic often unless you get one with the weird complications like the Autobahn line or something else. This is a chronoscope watch for around 2K USD which is a really good deal. Similar Nomos would be twice the price. If it is your first watch, I'd recommend this over the Nomos. Again Nomos is a great brand but just a bit more pricy.

Was expecting the H Moser watch... not disappointed.

I do like this watch. I'd say if Apple really did make a mechanical watch they'd probably take minimalism to the next level. That would mean removing all numbers from the face apart from the ones actually representing something - if it's 10 past 10, theres no need for the other digits to hang around. Digital watches (well, digital clocks) have been around for a very long time. I wish there were more of them. It's one of the reasons i find A Lange & Sohne's Zeitwerk appealing. Now imagine that but with more clean minimalism.

I know this will draw alot of ire...but I want to see a video on the Alpha homage "Chronograph" Minute timer. I know it's an homage, but it's a Mechanical "Chronograph" for under $300...I just want to see your take on it.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but how would sapphire ruin the lines of the watch as you pointed out at 9:15? Tnks.
