The great thing about owning the white 38mm Max Bill Automatic is that no one suspects it in public as a luxury watch by on closer inspection those who know really appreciate it.

Yes, the Junghans watches are what I privately think of as "Stealth Watches". TGV is spot on in his enthusiasm for this watch. The Max Bill line Junghans make is really a lesson in subtlety ~ each variant has something to say.

That is a very familiar look to us Finns. If you didn't have a Junghans kitchen clock in your childhood home, you have seen them in schools and other public buildings all your life. It is probably the most common clock in Finland, or at least was when quality still meant something. I didn't even know Junghans made watches until recently. That's a design everyone is familiar with, but not everyone has the understanding to appreciate.

Just wanted to say, I'm a complete rookie of horology, but thanks to your videos I am learning a lot. I also love how passionate you can talk about watches, the enthusiasm shown just cannot be faked. I really appreciate watching your vids, keep 'em coming!

Thank you for a very informative video. I was thinking of buying the Max Bill and now I am sold. My wife and I very much enjoyed your presentation.

I've been watching your videos for a long time and it's my first comment here. Why? Because this watch says a lot about our passion for these incredible machines. This watch is a perfect example of the union of art and technic that every good watch simbolizes. The marriage of these factors occurs in different levels and in multiple ways. Is very hard to think in anything so diverse and beautiful than watches when it comes to phisical objects. I share the same passion that you show in every video that you do, with the classic "watch check". You are a gentleman indeed. Congratulations for the incredible work, full of information, passion and elegance. Impressive!

Speaking of iconoclasts and Bauhaus, I feel like quartz is actually more in keeping with Bauhaus ideology than a mechanical movement. Bauhaus was very much about eschewing tradition and embracing modernity; and I feel like the definite ticks of a quartz watch complement the very clear lines that are the hallmark of a Bauhaus watch.

I would agree but at the same time Max Bill wasn't a fan of extra consumption such as replacing batteries, so I'm not sure. I wonder if he ever got interviewed about his watch designs and asked this question. I wouldn't imagine he'd beeen very fond of winders, that's for sure haha.

Although I’ve considered the same thing before, I ultimately disagree. As Isamoa mentioned, it’s doubtful whether Max Bill would have approved of the incorporation of such radically disposable elements as batteries into his design. There’s a purity to the silent, self-sufficient movement of the automatic Max Bill, further complimented by the distilled serenity of the unnumbered dial (the best one, in my opinion). On that model the indices are fine and unobtrusive, transfixing a harmonious void-a loudly ticking movement would disrupt the impression of ethereality produced by its “quiet” form. Like anything pure it is only delicately concretized, and the silence of his design should remain thoroughly golden. To this point, I’d eschew all complications as well-I’d even be tempted to remove the Junghans branding from the dial, but both the plexiglass and the branding of the original serve as reminders of Bill’s commitment to apply principles of aesthetic purity into industrial production, which inevitably has other priorities beside design for design’s sake. In my view, these adulterations or compromises give deeper historical context to the watch and serve as reminders of the social and economic facts that condition the significance of art.

TGV, another great review. I really appreciate your attention to watch brands with horological significance in a price range that almost anyone can enjoy. I really enjoy the grey manual wind version of this watch and it's in the running with the Oris Artelier and a vintage Omega hand wind for my first dress watch.

This really deserves a thumbs up, the watch is fantastic. Really enjoying your content which structured really really well especially those back stories. More power to your wonderful channel, God bless.

My grandfather was an architectural engineer and he adored Max Bill! What a legend!!

I own the exact same watch with the white dial and with date, but the black one in conjunction with the brown strap look stunning too! Absolutely one of my favorite timepieces of all time! Thanks for sharing with us!

This review made me smile from ear to ear, as I have had the Max Bill handwinding with the same font design for many years now. I too chose the version with the numbers, for the reasons you stated (the 4 is beautiful!). In my opinion, the handwinding is even more classic than the automatic, as the scale and movement are more true to the original. (And more in keeping with Bauhaus ideals). The 38mm version looks big to me - the 35(?)mm case of the handwinding version wears much larger than the numbers suggest, owing to the minimal bezel. (Mine is a lighter dial too - a beautiful shimmering silver). Having seen your video about the merits of smaller watches, I think you should try the manual version on your wrist. Another great video though - I only recently discovered your channel, and I find that many of your aesthetic sensibilities chime with my own. Good job! (One small point: Paul Klee is pronounced more like 'Clay'). ;)

Fantastic intro, very informative video. Max Bill work took me back to Oscar Niemayer's modernist architecture of Brasilia.

I reached for my Max Bill Kleine (34mm) with PVD coating, white dial and Arabics so I had to rewatch this vid. Love the examples of Bill’s work. I’ve got the Nomos Ludwig 33 (I’m twig-wristed) and love each watch in a different way. Junghans keeps the date window really discreet- I don’t usually like date windows but it works on mine. Again, great vid!

Beautiful Junghans watch, TGV. Absolutely love it and the Max Bill Bauhaus style.

I've owned this very watch for over a year. Absolutely beautiful. You've described it well. I'd say it wears thinner than its measured sub-12mm, probably thanks to the domed crystal. I think you're wrong about Junghans regulating the movement, however. Mine runs quite fast.

Hi TGV, You have done an excellent video, explaining the Bauhaus movement and reviewing the Max Bill watch. The version with the numerals would be my choice as well. However, I'm leaning towards the Junghans Meister line, especially the Meister Driver, with it's 1930's automobile design. Best regards, Claus
