max bill MEGA Solar

The Swiss architect, artist and product designer Max Bill studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau and was a co-founder of the famous Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, Germany (Ulm School of Design). The max bill MEGA Solar combines his purist design approach famous at that time with state-of-the-art technology. In 1961, he designed a range of wristwatches that is still being produced according to the original concepts today. The dial boasts a clear and distinctive layout that focuses on the bare essentials. The scale of the minute and hour markings reflects the artist’s perfect sense of proportion. Typical of the Max Bill style, luminous dots at the three, six and nine o’clock positions as well as a double dot at 12 o’clock guarantee optimum readability. In addition to the Bauhaus-inspired design, the max bill MEGA Solar also features impressively implemented latest technology: the watch is powered only by sunlight and is extremely efficient. Just two minutes of sunlight per day suffice to keep it operating. Thanks to the advanced Junghans connected technology, the watch displays the time to absolute precision. In addition, all time zones can be adjusted using the crown, or via the app in regions without signal reception. The case made of the skin-friendly material titanium is highly durable, particularly light and offers pleasant wearing comfort. The design of the max bill MEGA Solar embodies everything that Max Bill held most dear – a mix of practical value and clear beauty.
