max bill – architect of time
max bill was one of the most unusual artists of our age. a true uni versal
genius, he worked as an architecht, painter, sculptor and product
designer, leaving behind an extensive body of work. this includes one
of the most fascinating timepiece series made, still produced in almost
unchanged form today: the wall clocks and wristwatches that he de -
veloped for junghans. as a bauhaus student of walter gropius, he
intuitively understood how to apply the pursuit of constructive clarity
and precise proportions to his work.
