Max Bill By Junghans Watches For 2010
The "Max Bill watch" as it is known is one of the 20th Century's most famous watch designs. Clearly conceived by designer and architect Max Bill in Switzerland, the watch was a staple of goodness back when it was originally made in the 1960s. Since then you could buy versions of the watch in its pure form as made by German Junghans (who has many of their movements made by Seiko). For 2010 Junghans offers up a more modern, but still retro version of this retro classic. There are three versions of the watches and most exciting is their more modern dimensions (save for the still small manually wound version).The Max Bill watch is what you can call "concrete Bauhaus." I think this term neatly applies to the combo of Bauhaus design with a modern touch that evokes the beginnings of modern architecture from the 1950s and 1960s.

TT vs Bi-Metal
I know that for some here the notion of purchasing a TT SS/YG or SS/RG watch isn't appealing due to it only being made partly of 18kt gold.The argument being that a TT buyer can't afford a full gold version so is compensating by getting a model with as much gold as possible.But, I really really find TT watches attractive. The white metal vs the yellow/rose gold metal....color wise....in of itself....just works beautifully.I am a 70s child and a lot of TT were available.When I look at some current Rolex TT models:TT YG/SS Blue SubTT RG/SS Blue YM2TT RG/SS Chocolate YM2The color combinations of the models above...the colors of the various metals....silver/white for the SS part when paired with the yellow or rose gold of the second metal.....that bi metal look....that TT look....I just find incredibly satisfying and really attractive.I was wondering for those in the group of solid gold or ss...if the TT models were actually 100% gold.....ie....WG/YG TT or WG/RG TT...as opposed to SS for t
