The Junghans 41/4818.02 embodies Max Bill’s pursuit of minimalism shaped by purpose, where design clarity meets mechanical intelligence. As Bill once said, “Watches... as timeless as can be conceived without forgetting the time,” and this philosophy is reflected in the watch’s calm, logical dial layout and unmistakably Bauhaus proportions. It is an object designed to feel visually timeless while remaining firmly anchored to function.
At its heart is the self-winding Junghans J800.1 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve, converting the motion of the wearer into continuous energy. This removes the need for manual winding while reinforcing the idea of effortless, living precision. The matt silver-plated dial is deliberately restrained, featuring a clean minute track and hands filled with environmentally friendly luminous material for subtle readability in all lighting conditions.
The 38 mm stainless steel case with a 10 mm height gives it a confident yet balanced wrist presence, paired with a classic leather strap and stainless steel buckle. Finished with anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 5 bar water resistance, it is built for daily wear with quiet reliability. The result is a pure, functional timepiece that translates Max Bill’s design language into a modern mechanical companion.
