100 Years of Bauhaus: Modern Watches in the Anniversary Year

These interpretations fall short of the full picture - something that's being emphasized in this anniversary year - and the newest watch to celebrate the Bauhaus anniversary captures all this in a nutshell Thanks to its dial design, the Max Bill Automatic 100 Jahre Bauhaus is immediately recognizable The visual highlight of the 1,000-piece, limited-edition model is the red rectangular date window, a clever reference to the famous red door on the Bauhaus building in Dessau that Walter Gropius designed when political pressure caused the Bauhaus to move from Weimar to Dessau in 1925.
