Description

“Clarity through simplicity.”

Originally designed by Max Bill in 1961, this chronograph reflects his dedication to clean lines and functional form. It’s a Bauhaus timepiece that pairs minimalism with mechanical craftsmanship, emphasizing harmony in every detail.

Why It Matters

Most chronographs overwhelm the dial with detail. This one strips it back. The small seconds subdial is removed, allowing for symmetrical balance and effortless legibility. The result: a design-forward chronograph that honors both beauty and precision.

“A chronograph that’s quietly confident—exactly how Max Bill would have wanted it.”
