The FORM Quarz Bauhaus watch is not merely a tool for measuring time; it is a true tribute to the immortal legacy of the Bauhaus movement. This year, Junghans celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus in Dessau, and with this strictly limited edition timepiece of only 1,000 pieces, we bring to the wrist not only the elegance of forms but also the conceptual depth of colours, an essential part of the school's teachings.
The heart of this watch lies in its minimalist aesthetic and its historical reference. The dial, with its matte silver-plated finish, immediately captures attention thanks to a subtle yet significant chromatic detail: a coloured circle at the 12 o'clock hour markers. This choice is not random but is directly inspired by the use of primary colours, a pillar of Bauhaus didactics, giving the watch a touch of intellectual vibrancy. Furthermore, the hands are equipped with an eco-friendly luminous substance to ensure legibility even in low-light conditions.
Regarding the structure, the FORM Quarz Bauhaus is a masterpiece of balance and precision. The stainless steel case, with a diameter of 39.3 mm and an extremely slim height of just 7.0 mm, ensures impeccable comfort. Inside, a reliable J645.37 quartz movement beats, offering the practical date function. Protection is provided by a robust anti-reflective sapphire crystal, guaranteeing scratch resistance and visual clarity.
However, the centennial celebration culminates on the case back: secured with four screws, the reverse of the case features an elegant engraving depicting the famous and iconic Bauhaus building in Dessau. This is not just a technical detail but a true commemorative element.
Completing the work is a refined stainless steel Milanese bracelet, which closes with a practical safety clasp, adding a further touch of timeless elegance. With water resistance up to 5 bar, this watch is an ideal companion for everyday life.
Owning the FORM Quarz Bauhaus means wearing a piece of design history, a tribute to the architecture and art that have shaped the modern world. Don't miss the opportunity to add one of the only 1,000 available pieces to your collection.
What began in 1861 with the founding of the company in Schramberg soon advanced to become one of the most fascinating success stories of the German clock and watchmaking industry. Although the requirements of watches have changed over the course of time – the philosophy of Junghans has always remained the same.
