JUNGHANS TURNS A COLOUR WHEEL INTO A DIAL IN CELEBRATION OF100 YEARS OF BAUHAUS DESSAU WITH FORM A AND FORM QUARTZ.

Bauhaus celebrates a significant anniversary: 100 years ago, the renowned school for art and design relocated from Weimar, its original location, to Dessau. Junghans pays tribute with two special watches limited to 1,000 pieces each that do justice to Bauhaus and its anniversary in so many ways: say hello to FORM A Bauhaus Edition and FORM Quartz Bauhaus Edition.

The new Junghans FORM Bauhaus watches result from combining the functional design principles of Bauhaus with modern watch models, and they are impressive with their clean lines adhering to the Bauhaus credo that form must follow function. Junghans has also embraced the theory of colour. Colour research and colour theory have long traditions: Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), poet Johan Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), and even many artists and teachers at Bauhaus in Dessau worked intensely with colour. Giving the colours a fitting stage, Junghans’ designers chose restrained hues as the basis for the two anniversary watches. The FORM A Bauhaus Edition arrives completely in black, which applies to the strap, case, and dial.

The FORM Quartz Bauhaus Edition appears with a fine silver dial in a simple stainless-steel case. The indexes form a classic color circle, with the three subtractive primary colours evenly spaced and the mixed colours in between. The hands are in a neutral grey and finely lined with luminous material. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating ensure optimum visibility of the special dials.
