Junghans Max Bill Automatic

Just to describe the beauty of this watch would be a great injustice without explaining my max bill watch journey.
Designer---Manufacturer---Wholesaler---Retailer---Courier--Customer (Me)
The journey starts with Max bill a renaissance man designing this sleek, slender, minimalistic, classic & automatic watch . Carefully manufactured at Junghans by watch artisans.
I have been looking for a timeless watch for long time and came across this watch on first class watches (wholesale/retailer) for a great price match and also a safe shipment service. My watch then traveled five countries for five days through Fedex(Courier) to reach me.
Germany--London--France--China---Singapore--Australia.
So i would like to finish where i started this watch gets its beauty and timelessness from its design, manufacturing, marketing & courier.
Cons- Having a plexi glass than sapphire glass is a great injustice to this timepiece.

This watch is a mechanical watch with an automatic movement, which means of course that it has no batteries, but does not need manual winding (as long as worn regularly). Neither cheap nor very expensive, it does fulfill the functions of a mechanical watch very well indeed: with a solid (ETA 2824-2 I understand) movement, mine runs to about +5 seconds a day, and I expect this to improve.
However, we don't buy manual watches for their accuracy, but perhaps as an accessory, and surely for their beauty and craftsmanship. I always have loved the smooth move of the second hand of a manual compared to the cold jump of a quartz watch. And these Bauhaus watches by Max Bill are very beautiful indeed: the size at 38 mm is just right for me; the illumination (Super-LumiNova) at night of the hour/minute hands as well as the dots at 12, 3, 6 and 9 is amazing; and the very nice white dial with a silver touch, the precision of the hands reaching to the very precise minute lines (which makes reading the time very good), or above all that number 4 (Junghans do other models, with black dial, without date, without numbers) are just a superb execution of the Bauhaus principles of form and function; other companies like Stowa or Nomos do Bauhaus designs, but finally I prefer the Max Bill one.

This watch has a few issues, none of which is a problem for me, but it is important to be aware of them:
- I find the crown a bit too small for winding (but then you never do, and there is no problem for setting time and date), though it helps the sense of proportion
- this watch has a hardened plexiglass: it can be scratched (though then also polished in a few minutes at very low cost), but does not easily break, and allows the very curved form
- it is necessary to change the date manually 5 times a year: I can live with that
- above all perhaps, it is not waterproof to any level: no showers, and I take mine off for cooking etc.
Bottom line: tastes differ, but I love the timeless (pun intended) sense of proportion and minimalist beauty of this Bauhaus design Max Bill made for Junghans originally in the early 60s.
