As a true enthusiast, you generally do not make a hasty decision when purchasing a new watch. After all, a watch must be of good quality, have a reliable movement, and be made of materials that last a long time. When you select a new watch with care and attention, you will generally enjoy it for a long time. Consequently, a luxury watch is even regularly passed down to descendants as a valuable heirloom. When you, as an enthusiast, go looking for a new watch, it is important to choose a respected watch brand to ensure you are buying quality. There are brands known, among other things, for the good price-quality ratio they offer. These brands offer high-quality watches with a stylish design at a competitive price.

In this article, we would like to focus on a special group of watches and a brand that targets this specific group in the production of the watches in its collection. We are referring to the so-called Bauhaus watches. These watches feature a distinctive and appealing design based on the Bauhaus design movement. Bauhaus stands for simple design, a minimalist character, and minimal decoration. It is no coincidence that the rule ‘form follows function’ is highly fitting for the designs of this movement.

Bauhaus is a design movement that has had a significant influence in the fields of architecture, as well as in furniture and graphic design.

For instance, within the brand's collection, you can find models with a very classic design, as well as designs that utilize more modern colors. Additionally, the Bauhaus brand offers models with a quartz movement (battery-operated), as well as designs with an automatic movement. This also provides the brand with diversity, allowing it to target a broader audience. The good price-quality ratio of the models in the Bauhaus collection also contributes to this.

For this article, we have selected two Bauhaus watches that we would like to tell you more about. The first design we would like to highlight is the Bauhaus Dessau 2060-3. This beautiful watch has a classic design and is predominantly finished in blue. The watch features a beautiful leather strap in a classic blue color, equipped with a buckle.

In short, with the Bauhaus Dessau 2060-3, you are choosing a beautiful watch with an understated appearance that will be a real eye-catcher on your wrist. Moreover, with this model, you are choosing excellent value for money.

A second Bauhaus design that, in our opinion, certainly deserves your attention is the Bauhaus Dessau 2066-1. This stylish model features a light brown watch strap made of high-quality leather. This strap fastens with a buckle. The watch case has a thickness of 12mm and a diameter of 41mm and is made of stainless steel. The dial is white and features silver-colored accents.
