his work

the work of max bill was a continuous balancing act between free art and applied art, between severe, reduced forms and flowing natural ones, between philosophical thinking and practical application. examining the subject of ”time” was a fascinating challenge for max bill, and one that occupied him for decades. a remarkable example of his work is a wall clock he designed for junghans in 1956/57. rarely has the interplay of hour and minute been portrayed in a more stylised and elegantly simple way than with this clock, which can be seen today in the world’s most important design museum – the museum of modern art.

in 1962 max bill created mechanical wristwatches for junghans – impressive timepieces, not only for their aesthetic design, but also their precision. these exceptional and exclusive models have been revived by junghans with their original max bill design.
