Anyone looking for a beautiful new watch with a minimalist design will find exactly what they are looking for among the various Bauhaus models available in luxury watchmaking. Several appealing brands offer Bauhaus models, such as the German brands Iron Annie and Zeppelin. Bauhaus watches feature a design inspired by the Bauhaus design movement. This movement has had a major influence on designs in modern architecture, the furniture industry, and graphic design, among other things.

The Bauhaus movement opts for designs where the rule ‘form follows function’ applies. The designs are simple and minimalist in form, and minimally decorated. Within watchmaking, these are also the defining characteristics of Bauhaus designs. With a Bauhaus watch, you wear a model with allure without being obtrusive. A Bauhaus watch has a calm appearance and is therefore very easy to combine with various clothing styles. In this article, we would like to focus more attention on a specific brand within luxury watchmaking, whose brand name is ‘Bauhaus’ for good reason.

The German watch brand Bauhaus was founded in 2019 and is therefore a relatively young brand. The development and production of various Bauhaus watches in an authentic Bauhaus building formed the basis for the founding of this brand. This building was constructed in 1929 by the respected architectural firm Schreiter & Slag and is a fine example of a building designed in the appealing Bauhaus style. This monumental building, located in the watchmaking town of Ruhla, is considered one of the most important cultural monuments in the area. The Bauhaus watch brand offers a fine collection of Bauhaus models. The common thread running through the collection is a minimalist approach and a simple design. Nevertheless, the brand manages to offer diversity within the collection in various ways.

First of all, this brand offers watches with a quartz movement (battery-operated) or an automatic movement (powered by movement). Many enthusiasts prefer an automatic watch, as this best showcases the authentic operation of the clock and the knowledge and skill of the watchmaker. However, a quartz watch offers the advantages of being more resistant to shocks and impacts and being highly accurate. The Bauhaus brand offers beautiful alternatives for every personal preference. In addition, there are many possibilities in terms of appearance. For instance, you can choose a more classic-looking design from the Bauhaus collection, but the brand also offers models with a playful touch by adding modern colors to the watch strap or dial, without creating a busy look.

A fine example of an elegant classic design from the Bauhaus collection is the Bauhaus Dessau 2064-1. This is one of the top models from the Bauhaus brand, and for good reason. To begin with, this particularly beautiful model features a stunning brown watch strap that fastens with a buckle. Additionally, the watch has a stainless steel case with a thickness of 11mm and a diameter of 40mm. Furthermore, this design utilizes mineral glass and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. The dial is white and features subtle gold-colored details. The movement of this watch is visible through the beautiful glass case back. It features an automatic movement from the brand Citizen-Miyota, providing a very reliable foundation. Finally, this appealing design offers a date display, a seconds hand, and luminous indicators. All in all, the Bauhaus Dessau 2064-1 can be called a true gem from the Bauhaus collection, which is also available at a competitive price.

A second design from the Bauhaus brand that we are very impressed with is the Bauhaus Classic 2140-2. This model is truly quintessential Bauhaus design, thanks to its extremely understated appearance and simple styling. The watch features a black leather strap that fastens with a buckle. The dial is also finished in black to match, with the playful detail of a large red hand. The other subtle details on the dial are finished in white. The case of this model is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 10 mm and a diameter of 41 mm. Furthermore, this design is equipped with mineral glass and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. The heart of this watch is a high-end quartz movement from the brand Ronda. Finally, this watch offers a date display, a seconds hand, and luminous indicators.

For high-quality and affordable design from the Bauhaus brand, you have come to the right place in our webshop. As an official dealer, we supply these models with a two-year warranty, a clear manual, and an official watch box.

Although Switzerland is known as the world's premier watchmaking country, watch brands offering luxury watches equipped with Swiss-made movements, making them extremely reliable, can also be found in various other countries.

A prime example of such a watch brand is the progressive Dutch brand Van Speyk. The Van Speyk watches originated from a passion for watches and is, moreover, a family business with extensive experience in the field of luxury watches. The watches in the Van Speyk collection are not only of very high quality but also feature a highly appealing design. The watches are equipped with Swiss movements, and the best materials have been chosen for their use. For instance, the brand uses 316L stainless steel for the watch cases, and the watches feature beautiful straps made of Italian calf leather. Furthermore, sapphire glass is used for Van Speyk watches. This type of glass is extremely strong, meaning you will not easily see damage on the glass. The watches in the Van Speyk collection are further characterized by their beautiful and unique details. For instance, the brand offers models equipped with a beautiful ‘open heart’ on the dial, making the movement visible. Additionally, within this brand’s ‘Courage’ series, you will find designs featuring an appealing moon phase indicator on the dial. Van Speyk also opts for so-called sunray or sunburst dials, which create the illusion of sunbeams. The transparent case backs featured on Van Speyk watches are also captivating and make these special timepieces truly unique. Furthermore, thanks to the excellent price-quality ratio the brand offers, you can be sure that you are purchasing your Van Speyk watch at a fair price.
