TOP 4 - Bauhaus Watches that I would actually buy!

[@mdunawaym]

I have a Max Bill. So many options to choose from, but I got the 38mm anthracite dial automatic. I just love it.

[@markstarmer3677]

I’m contemplating on purchasing the Nomos Orion 39 neomatik. The very one you featured with the blue hands and gold hour markers. It’s a stunning watch. First time I’ve watched you channel, and thought you came across sincere and your passion for watches is infectious. Enjoyed it.

[@sadisticD]

No Iron Annie 100 years Bauhaus? Such a beautiful watch with a domed mineral crystal, lume, the same ETA movement as the Max Bill, and only half the price.

[@coleroyce]

I recently bought the bauhaus specific Max Bill. My first watch at this price point and I’m very happy and impressed with it. I almost got the one with a numbered dial, but liked all the unique differences on the Bauhaus model. Thanks

[@jamieglasse7628]

With the little pops of red and the cool exhibition caseback? Such a good choice! Glad you're enjoying it. I'd be tempted by one of them myself.

@@jamieglasse7628 Hi buddy!I am from Pakistan.I want to buy Junghans max bill watch.Can Junghan max bill watch bear water splashes while during everyday hand wash or during ablution??

[@jpdemer5]

Today, the entire Max Bill family does come with a sapphire crystal by default. I have the black dial automatic - I love the painted-lume numerals, which seem to float in space above the dial. No date, although the ETA movement retains a "ghost" crown position. The one oddity, for a "utilitarian" design, is the tiny crown, which makes winding the watch a bit of a pain.

[@M123OCT]

I've just ordered a Max Bill, the one at 3.11, no date, no numerals - it arrives tomorrow and I can't wait. One of THE most perfect watch designs ever, in my opinion.

[@Jason-hv4eu]

Great video! I have recently became interested in the Bauhaus design language as it relates to watches. I appreciate your take and point of view. Thank you for putting together this video!

[@axxo]

Great video. 34 Max Bill on 17cm wrist wears better than expected. Thanks.

[@kfmathew]

You can get the Max Bill with a saphire crystal from the factory by special order. I've seen the option in the listing of a German retailer on Chrono24. Costs more than the plexiglass, of course, but in my opinion, well worth it. I only wish they offered the 38mm black dial, with just the markers, without a date window.... They do have a model without a date, but only on the 34mm diameter model....

[@djcrazy941026]

First time watching this video. Im happy to say that I have 2 of the 5 examples on this video. White dial junghans which now comes with a saphire option and the 38 MM bambino with 20 MM straps cream dial. Both are my favorites watches

[@Stockmarketsnews]

Thank you for the vid. You made also an evaluation of the tissot heritage visodate. It seems to have also Bauhaus elements? Cheers 🧭⏲️⏱️⌛️🕰️

[@BradleyHansonPhotography]

I like your taste and agree with all of these. I also like your Visodate. I acted on my interest in those too late, and had to get the 42mm version, but I am quite fond of the clean, classic style,

[@jackburtonstwin]

I have just acquired the Hamilton Intra-Matic with the Champagne (Hodinkee spec) dial. Slightly straying from the very clean and sterile esthetics of the original releases, but I like the idea of side-stepping the cool monochromatic look without turning to a sunburst dial. Lovely watch, great price, and the 2892a2 movement is possibly the best "workhorse" movement yet made, both in accuracy and reliability.

[@jamieglasse7628]

Oh yes! That's a stunning choice Pygmy! I'd actually forgotten about that. A much better way of introducing a little colour than the sunbursts, I agree. I think it would look great on a milanese too. Hope you enjoy it!

[@leebalmforth2269]

Excellent selection Jamie. +Good points. 👍. The Nomos midnight blue is beautiful

[@jamieglasse7628]

Thanks Lee! Really Appreciate it! I know it's stunning right? Is that what you'd get? I'd almost be tempted to go for it in a smaller size. 🤔

[@leebalmforth2269]

@@jamieglasse7628 hi Jamie. Thanks for reply. Yes I'd go for the Nomos midnight blue 38mm.

[@willmac1748]

Went for silver dial Max Bill and looking to swap out metal strap for leather

[@eddiemorales-ojeda5834]

I chose the same ones you selected.

[@markhpluygers2226]

Hey Jamie. Glad you are better, we share a lot. You were talking about the Nomos Orion, but as you love the date in the symmetry of Bauhaus, I thought you would have choses the Nomos Orion Date. I took this model 'over' the Max Bill because of the date window. I need the date on a watch!, simple but necessary. Where you put it matters & I am a Bauhaus fanatic. Regarding the rest of your video, your message came across clearly. Time for a think about your film setting. Don't need music, but you in a comfortable chair may well shoot up your ratings. Have fun, I've subscribed.

[@MrPleers]

I would love to get a Nomos. As the dial and hand look really classy. But the lugs are really too long for my taste.

[@alenhuseinbasic899]

Loved the video, Jamie! Very professional. The only thing I'd say is to add some cool music to the intro!

[@jamieglasse7628]

Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback. I've taken your advice and found some music for my new video. I'd love to know what you think? Cheers!

[@bjarkelykkemadsen2874]

Wonderful video. Thanks a lot :)

[@jasonmcelroy5516]

Enjoyed your video very much. I absolutely love bauhaus inspired watches and the watches you have discussed here would also be my choices. Sorry to hear you’ve been suffering with poor mental health. I wish you all the very best for the future.

[@jamieglasse7628]

Thanks Jason! Really glad you enjoyed it! Which one would you go for first then? 😁

[@jasonmcelroy5516]

Jamie Glasse I am seriously thinking about the Max Bill. I love the new Bauhaus model. The red hands and date window really appeal to me. I have never owned a Junghans but always admired the legendary Max Bill for its simplistic and purist approach to design. I feel now is the time and cannot really understand why I’ve never had one on my wrist.

[@jamieglasse7628]

@@jasonmcelroy5516 you're not wrong! I totally agree, the little pop of red really bring the dial alive, but also the caseback with the window in the shape of the Bauhaus school is soo cool! I'd love to know if you get it!

[@YellowstripeDad]

Thanks for the good video, and for showing a range of great watches. I liked, in particular, that you went on record with actual reasons why you liked each watch…not just another lame rehashing of fancy horological vocabulary that seem to characterize many of the online watch channels. Well done. I’d be interested in your candid opinions on the more Bauhaus inspired offerings from Junkers. I’ve never seen one in person, and I’m rather green in my understanding of watches, but they seem to have many of the design elements that you brought out in your video at a price between the Orient and the Hamilton. Like the Hamilton being a mix between the American heritage, now with the Swiss internals, but utilizing the German design language-the Junkers may be another decent hybrid-a German watch, with the Japanese internals? I’d be really interested in your thoughts. Also, I’m glad COVID didn’t get the better of you and you’re coming out in the other end nice and strong. Cheers.

maxbill has sapphire too now

[@paddymulligan]

Bela Lugosi wore one

[@jamieglasse7628]

I didn't know that! Which one?

[@ihopetowin]

This was a very good review. I think a continued contribution to KZbin is worth your effort and an enhancement to the platform. Articulate deliveries are pretty rare and I hope you might consider a return to creating videos. A well worked out background would assist greatly in your presentation. All the very best. Jeff.

[@marcellarocque2208]

First, I disagree with the Orient in this list. It is not a Bauhaus due to the Orient logo. The logo takes attention from the dial and Bauhaus is design first. Second, your critique of plexiglass on the Junghans is extremely uneducated. Ask anyone seeking out a Hesalite Omega. The "plexiglass" in this case is intentional because it creates a dimension to the dial that a sapphire crystal will not capture. Third... Nomos is the king with Junghans second.

[@fakeyboyoopsie9741]

Honestly… the fact that they print “automatic” on watches is the least aesthetic practice. I’ll never buy a watch that tells me what the watch does while I’m trying to read the time

[@jrcira]

Junhans by far

[@Ipeacocks]

So we got that anything on "6" is better for you :)

[@markhpluygers2226]

Ambiguous, but I agree with Jamie on this. Position "6" is where a date belongs. Simple, uncluttered & easy. At "3" is bad enough, between 4 - 5 is (imo) horrible.

[@Ipeacocks]

@@markhpluygers2226 just wished to say this is more personal. But all my watches have date at "6". :)

[@mortiseandtenon]

Lower your audio. It's WAY too loud.

[@69Muscle]

I just bought a Junghans Max Bill. It’s absolutely stunning in all its Bauhaus minimalist glory.
