Product Description
At the heart of the Bauhaus Movement is simplicity, geometric congruity, and functionality. It’s with these guiding principles that Max Bill—a student of the movement himself—designed one of the most iconic Bauhaus timepieces of all time Read More

Man, I'd love to get this watch! I'm not above buying a quartz, especially one this gorgeous, but at that price point there are just too many auto Seikos I can get. Damn my teacher salary! lol :)

dvprkIt's a quality watch, made in Germany. It's not junk. Not all mechanical watches are expensive, not all quartz watches are cheap.

LOL this comment is like clockwork every time a Max Bill watch drops. Here is my cut and paste response from all the other Max Bill watch drops where this comment is made: This plexiglass vs sapphire has been discussed at nauseam. Sapphire is not expensive. $100 Orient watches even have them. Using Plexiglass is a conscious decision made by the manufacturer in order to properly represent the aesthetics of a domed top as a tribute to the design language of Max Bill, the Bauhaus architect. Sapphire crystal cannot achieve the same domed effect that is needed for this watch without being cost prohibitive and heavy since it would have to be sanded from a solid piece of crystal into the dome shape. Plexiglass also allows the watch to be lighter. You can choose to not buy this watch for whatever reason you want, but you should understand why plexiglass was used.

I own way too many watches, but this one is one of 2 that anyone has ever complimented me on.

sparis145149I would totally get a quartz version of the max bill chronograph for the aesthetic if they offered it. The automatic is out of my range unless I win the lottery.

CloacaA watch from a top German watch maker designed by Max Bill considered to be THE Bauhaus watch??? I would prefer it not be quartz but that is minor IMO

Still baffled about the "plexiglass" (aka "scratchy-glass") . C'mon guys...

This watch isn’t just vintage inspired. It’s actually built the same way vintage Max Bill watches were made. Lots of options if you want a totally modern watch. If you want a new watch with an actual vintage design by an actual Bauhaus designer, you can’t do better than the Max Bill.

It's not even close to the protruding dome that is in Junkers Bauhaus. It is impossible to make a sapphire in that shape and stay in that price range.

NJbonelessNah. I'm just frustrated that I missed a drop that I wanted so bad last week. And this past few days have been nothing but quartz. I'm fine with quartz but 400 USD for this, it's too much for an average person like me.

A little too much for a quartz watch. Awesome looking watch, but it isn't about that. It's the pride of the engineering that went into the inner workings of the watch. It's the overall craftsmanship, engineering, art, of the watch on the wrist. I just can't wear quartz anymore, nevertheless, pay over 400 for a watch with a similar movement to a 15 dollar Timex.

jimmyo86A mechanical watch is all that you say and I have several but I also take pride in wearing my Seiko Kinetic Quartz that runs at about 2 SPM. That is also a very fine piece of engineering IMO

It looks great, but would I spend hundreds of dollars on a quartz with plexiglass? I would not.
