The great thing about owning the white 38mm Max Bill Automatic is that no one suspects it in public as a luxury watch by on closer inspection those who know really appreciate it.
Yes, the Junghans watches are what I privately think of as "Stealth Watches". TGV is spot on in his enthusiasm for this watch. The Max Bill line Junghans make is really a lesson in subtlety ~ each variant has something to say.
I've been watching your videos for a long time and it's my first comment here. Why? Because this watch says a lot about our passion for these incredible machines. This watch is a perfect example of the union of art and technic that every good watch simbolizes. The marriage of these factors occurs in different levels and in multiple ways. Is very hard to think in anything so diverse and beautiful than watches when it comes to phisical objects. I share the same passion that you show in every video that you do, with the classic "watch check". You are a gentleman indeed. Congratulations for the incredible work, full of information, passion and elegance. Impressive!
Just wanted to say, I'm a complete rookie of horology, but thanks to your videos I am learning a lot. I also love how passionate you can talk about watches, the enthusiasm shown just cannot be faked. I really appreciate watching your vids, keep 'em coming!
That is a very familiar look to us Finns. If you didn't have a Junghans kitchen clock in your childhood home, you have seen them in schools and other public buildings all your life. It is probably the most common clock in Finland, or at least was when quality still meant something. I didn't even know Junghans made watches until recently. That's a design everyone is familiar with, but not everyone has the understanding to appreciate.
Always a pleasure to be illuminated. The more I learn about timepieces, art and the culture that I wear on my wrist, the more I wish that I could start my collection all over again-lol. It's that sophisticated. I just got the Sinn 1746 enameled timepiece. It's the pristine basic elegance that attracts the eye. I enjoyed your video, Luis.
My Max Bill Anthracite has just arrived, and it doesn't disappoint in any way - it is absolutely exquisite! Second-hand - yes, but mine is in almost "factory- fresh" condition, and I am so taken with it.
I’m thinking about getting the Max Bill in December (after graduating from my master’s degree). Going to try the 34mm handwind and the 38mm automatic in the metal next month. Stay healthy & stay safe! ✌🏼
i really enjoy and love this type of videos, when you talk not only about watches but also art and some history... very fulfilling, another reason why i like your chanel! keep the good work TGV, cheers!!!
beyond the beauty of the watches, it is the way you talk and feel about them that makes me crazy!! thanks for your compelling passion and the superb quality of your channel!!
Just took a dive into the TGV encyclopaedia from 7 whole years ago to watch this video and even back then he nailed it with his passion for the subject matter - this video helped me make up my mind and pull the trigger on a Max Bill - thanks TGV
Great video Tristano, I really appreciate the background information on Max Bill and the Bauhaus. You add insight and nuance that you don't find elsewhere. Excellent !
I just purchased a Max Bill Chronoscope. Waiting for it to arrive! I'm so excited. I've actually waited 4 years for it since I saw this video for the first time!
I own the exact same watch with the white dial and with date, but the black one in conjunction with the brown strap look stunning too! Absolutely one of my favorite timepieces of all time! Thanks for sharing with us!
I tried replying in the comment section of a video you did on the Sinn watch. It wouldn't take so here goes. Great review. Have had my eye on a Sinn for years but am a complete novice when it comes to this market. Is there a used marketplace in the U.S. that you'd recommend for Sinn watches?
Oh have I been waiting for the max bill review !! An absolute stunner of a watch, it doesn't get any classier that that !! Thanks TGV for the great video !! ;D
Beautiful video. It takes a lot of work and research to come up with a product like this. I watched this video and purchased the watch right away. Thank you for your great research. Guaglio’ stamme bene 🙏
Speaking of iconoclasts and Bauhaus, I feel like quartz is actually more in keeping with Bauhaus ideology than a mechanical movement. Bauhaus was very much about eschewing tradition and embracing modernity; and I feel like the definite ticks of a quartz watch complement the very clear lines that are the hallmark of a Bauhaus watch.
I would agree but at the same time Max Bill wasn't a fan of extra consumption such as replacing batteries, so I'm not sure. I wonder if he ever got interviewed about his watch designs and asked this question. I wouldn't imagine he'd beeen very fond of winders, that's for sure haha.
Although I’ve considered the same thing before, I ultimately disagree. As Isamoa mentioned, it’s doubtful whether Max Bill would have approved of the incorporation of such radically disposable elements as batteries into his design. There’s a purity to the silent, self-sufficient movement of the automatic Max Bill, further complimented by the distilled serenity of the unnumbered dial (the best one, in my opinion). On that model the indices are fine and unobtrusive, transfixing a harmonious void-a loudly ticking movement would disrupt the impression of ethereality produced by its “quiet” form. Like anything pure it is only delicately concretized, and the silence of his design should remain thoroughly golden. To this point, I’d eschew all complications as well-I’d even be tempted to remove the Junghans branding from the dial, but both the plexiglass and the branding of the original serve as reminders of Bill’s commitment to apply principles of aesthetic purity into industrial production, which inevitably has other priorities beside design for design’s sake. In my view, these adulterations or compromises give deeper historical context to the watch and serve as reminders of the social and economic facts that condition the significance of art.
Your watch videos are great. I appreciate the effort you take in your editing, adding great extra images, with great historical background as to why you think the watches you review are superlative.
This really deserves a thumbs up, the watch is fantastic. Really enjoying your content which structured really really well especially those back stories. More power to your wonderful channel, God bless.
Fantastisk vid! Really loved all the story and history behind bauhaus in it, really lovely way to watch a review, and in so doing really understand the "heritage", when talking about watches. Often times people say it, without really knowing exactly which heritage that is... Really wonderful vid. And please do these indepth watch/heritage reviews alot more ;)
I reached for my Max Bill Kleine (34mm) with PVD coating, white dial and Arabics so I had to rewatch this vid. Love the examples of Bill’s work. I’ve got the Nomos Ludwig 33 (I’m twig-wristed) and love each watch in a different way. Junghans keeps the date window really discreet- I don’t usually like date windows but it works on mine. Again, great vid!
After seeing this video, I fell in love with the Max Bill line. And now, after coveting them for over a year and a half, I’ve FINALLY bought one! Thanks, TVG. P.S. Shout out to Astoria Park. I keep hoping I’ll bump into you on Ditmars but I haven’t yet.
Finally! Thank you! A watch review with a PROPER VERNIER CALIPER! And I like the masking of the Vernier to protect the watch. Attention to detail! That's how it's done. Have a good day!
Very nice intro, the coolest yet. A classic design, the Germans doing what the Germans do best. The Max Bill Chrono is a particular favourite & as you are probably aware i don't even like chrongraphs lol.
What can one say: While introducing so much fine watches in the higher price ranges you also dont forget to admire those cheap casio watches (which i do too) because indeed these are good watches when it comes to price vs. functionality. It shows also your honesty in regard to your reviews. Greets.
Absolutely impeccable review TGV! That piece is definitely now part of my bucket list. I have recently inherited a Junghans that belonged to my great-grandfather. I believe its a pre-max bill though, from sometime around the 50s. Can't wait till its done being serviced! Regards, Allan Ribas.
I have a black 33mm Junghans hand winding watch no date military style watch with lumed numbers and hands from the 1950s /1960s. The movement is a 17jewel calibre 620-50. I bought it not running well from a junk shop, got the hairspring sorted out and checked by a watchmender. £30. My father had one just like it. 33mm was a common size in the 1950s when I was a child. It has a beautiful domed acrylic chrystal and I wear it to remind me of my father who was in the First Airborne division during ww11. He picked his Junghans up in Italy during the war. My grandfather told me that.
I've owned this very watch for over a year. Absolutely beautiful. You've described it well. I'd say it wears thinner than its measured sub-12mm, probably thanks to the domed crystal. I think you're wrong about Junghans regulating the movement, however. Mine runs quite fast.
This review made me smile from ear to ear, as I have had the Max Bill handwinding with the same font design for many years now. I too chose the version with the numbers, for the reasons you stated (the 4 is beautiful!). In my opinion, the handwinding is even more classic than the automatic, as the scale and movement are more true to the original. (And more in keeping with Bauhaus ideals). The 38mm version looks big to me - the 35(?)mm case of the handwinding version wears much larger than the numbers suggest, owing to the minimal bezel. (Mine is a lighter dial too - a beautiful shimmering silver). Having seen your video about the merits of smaller watches, I think you should try the manual version on your wrist. Another great video though - I only recently discovered your channel, and I find that many of your aesthetic sensibilities chime with my own. Good job! (One small point: Paul Klee is pronounced more like 'Clay'). ;)
TGV, another great review. I really appreciate your attention to watch brands with horological significance in a price range that almost anyone can enjoy. I really enjoy the grey manual wind version of this watch and it's in the running with the Oris Artelier and a vintage Omega hand wind for my first dress watch.
Thx TGV. Great Video with a lot of information. I love the Junghans Max Bill Design too. This watch is definite on my watchlist :) Greets from Germany.
How do you deal with scratches? can you polish them o you have to replace the glass? Im thinking this to be my first everyday watch, its gorgeous but the scratches scare me a little bit.
i live quite near to Dessau and i have to say, that the Bauhaus is such a great building, you can even visit Kandinky's house, everything there is just pragmatic, but really "artsy" at the same time... And great review as always ;)
OMG, you lucky thing, I would be going every weekend if I lived near! Thank you Niklas, hopefully one day I will make the pilgrimage myself! Best regards, TGV
Hi, great review! I'm wearing the white dial version with no date and no hours number, bought it around 700 euros in Zurich. I'm also a small wrist guy, so 38mm diameter fits me perfectly for a dress watch :)
So much UNDERSTATED class. I don't believe you can get a full appreciation of this watch just by sitting at the computer and watching it. Go into your local watch dealer and try it on guys ! Have a lovely evening + Great video again TGV.
Great video. Great watch. In fact I was so impressed with the watch, I bought one! Seriously. I went for a white face with date. I was looking for a good dress watch, and this ticked the boxes for the money I'm currently willing to pay. Anyway, really enjoying the channel.
Great review and a great watch! I own a Junghans "Meister" which is a dresswatch with along tradition too. And the quality is outstanding. Thanks for the review!!!
Enjoyed this review and introduction of Max Bill. Max Bill is the designer of Junghans clock, same as Dieter Rams to the Braun. Braun watches are mostly quartz movement, I don't know if you are interested in quartz. One of their famous watch AW10 & AW50 will reissue this summer. Really hope you can review one of their existing timepieces. Hope to hear your opinion on their quality and accuracy.
I had a look at various Junghans pieces at Salon QP this year, and very much liked them from both a technical and visual design POV, and can see one being added in at some point. My personal favourite of the Max Bill line is white dial Chronoscope. Though if really pushed, of all the Bauhaus style watches I looked at and tried on, I personally give a slight edge to the Nomos Tetra Neomatik Nachtblau which I keep coming back to. Amazing watch.
Great choices, whichever you go with I am sure you will love it. My personal fave is this one, but I love the Nomos Orion 38, and going non-Bauhaus, the Telemeter Chronoscope is to die for. Thank you Paul, good luck with the decision. Best regards, TGV
I love my Casio MTD110-1AV Men's Black Resin Band Illuminator Day Date Black Dial Watch, i owned it for 5 years and is probably my favorite watch at $44 when it was bought in Amazon back in 2017. No denial, i love watches i own a Sinn U1-T SDR and a Rolex GMT II coke dial, collecting watches is about appreciating design, functionality and purpose of each time piece. I have my eyes on a Stowa or a Laco tome piece next
Llast time me and partners just bought "couple watch" junghans maxbill (grey dial): chronoscope and automatic. For us, looking for couple watch with quality, style and price also not easy so our choice with junghans. So happy watching this video after we bought junghans "couple watch" :) ... for us not a bad choice...lol
Hello TGV, really great Video 👍👍 I also think, the Junghans Max bill is a great dress watch. Many of the Junghans watches are very great too. Its a great piece of german watchmaking. My good friend Tim Schubardt (You will maybe know him) and I, we are from Germany too and I think you will be looking at some other great german watches on your germany trip. Best regards👌
Thank you Willi, Tim is always so nice. Very glad to hear you approve, totally agree with what you say about their watches, I ADORE JUNGHANS!!! Best regards, TGV
I love this dude. He wears anything from Casios to Rolex.
Yeah, but my wallet HATES this guy so much!
Saw him wear a sundial in one episode
@@dees9502 😂 underrated comment
That "4" on the dial is phenomenal.
Best...4...EVER!!!!
Oh yeah this is a 4 ... i was ever looking 4 !
its a bauhaus 4, very cool, we learned about it in architecture school
I can't believe this video is 6y old.. great video, great watch.

Junghans still produces clocks based on the Max Bill design. Online available.

Thank you for a very informative video. I was thinking of buying the Max Bill and now I am sold. My wife and I very much enjoyed your presentation.
Love it! I've just started researching watches; you've convinced me to make a Junghans my first real purchase.

Yes I concur with this beautiful watch, I couldn't resist.
Fantastic intro, great content.. love the junghans range.. Another top video.. now off to hunt a clock on eBay lol
Thank you Andrew, very kind. I got 2 great clocks on eBay, I did a video and shared it briefly before last Christmas, happy hunting.

Beautiful - this video made me purchase the Max Bill Automatic with white face!
I had a look at various Junghans pieces at Salon QP this year, and very much liked them from both a technical and visual design POV, and can see one being added in at some point. My personal favourite of the Max Bill line is white dial Chronoscope. Though if really pushed, of all the Bauhaus style watches I looked at and tried on, I personally give a slight edge to the Nomos Tetra Neomatik Nachtblau which I keep coming back to. Amazing watch.
Great choices, whichever you go with I am sure you will love it.
My personal fave is this one, but I love the Nomos Orion 38, and going non-Bauhaus, the Telemeter Chronoscope is to die for.
Thank you Paul, good luck with the decision.

I love my Casio MTD110-1AV Men's Black Resin Band Illuminator Day Date Black Dial Watch, i owned it for 5 years and is probably my favorite watch at $44 when it was bought in Amazon back in 2017. No denial, i love watches i own a Sinn U1-T SDR and a Rolex GMT II coke dial, collecting watches is about appreciating design, functionality and purpose of each time piece. I have my eyes on a Stowa or a Laco tome piece next
I'm so happy I found your channel!
I have this one. I love the fact that the strap is 20 mm instead of 18mm. It helps the wrist presence a lot.
Amazing watch!!! Super Class !! It would look great on your collection ;) Cheers
Haha, it totally would!!!!
Thank you Rafael, I am seriously considering it.

Hello TGV,
really great Video 👍👍
I also think, the Junghans Max bill is a great dress watch. Many of the Junghans watches are very great too. Its a great piece of german watchmaking. My good friend Tim Schubardt (You will maybe know him) and I, we are from Germany too and I think you will be looking at some other great german watches on your germany trip.
Best regards👌
Thank you Willi, Tim is always so nice. Very glad to hear you approve, totally agree with what you say about their watches, I ADORE JUNGHANS!!!
