Junghans was founded in 1861 by Erhard Junghans and began creating their first clocks in 1866. The brand is characterised by their skilled craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The timepieces that Junghans create are inspired by both history and tradition. The final product is a work of art that has undergone inspection to make sure that each timepiece is produced to the highest standard.

Many of the Max Bill timepieces created today are inspired by designs that Junghans produced back in 1961 by artist and architect, Max Bill. The Max Bill collection boasts a historical charm with timepieces often crafted to celebrate architecture. The overall style of this collection combines minimalist style with maximal function; suited to those seeking an accessory that is accurate, detailed and represents true craftsmanship.

Introducing The Bauhaus Classic. This timepiece was created in honour of the German art school ‘Bauhaus‘ which operated from 1919 to 1933 and specialised in crafted and fine art. It is viewed by the community as a shining light within modern age architecture and design. The Bauhaus building itself is a representation of this with its combination of minimalism among bold lines. Last year The Bauhaus celebrated its 100th year, an occasion that was celebrated with the release of special edition timepieces from numerous watch manufacturers. Needless to say that Junghans was one of those manufacturers who enjoyed connectivity with the school thanks to their Max Bill range, the latest model, The Bauhaus-Classic.
