General Information

Formative figures: Women at the Bauhaus

With the ladies' watches from the Chicago 1937 series, Bauhaus Walter Gropius commemorates the women at the Bauhaus such as Gunta Stölzl, Anni Albers and Ise Gropius - women who not only accompanied modernism, but actively helped to shape it. Gunta Stölzl, weaver, textile craftswoman and first master craftswoman at the Bauhaus, for example, translated material, color and craftsmanship into order, system and clarity. For her, color was a functional tool, not an ornament. An attitude that is implemented in the watches in this series - in the form of precise grids of time, material and deliberately placed color accents. The 316L stainless steel used for the case is rustproof, acid-resistant, durable and also kind to the skin - which is why it is often referred to as "surgical steel" in everyday life. The case back lists all the stations of the Bauhaus: Weimar, Dessau, Berlin and finally Chicago. Beneath the anti-reflective sapphire crystal of the classic three-hand watch lies a tidy dial with clear typography that can be read easily and precisely at a glance. The tried-and-tested GL32 quartz movement from Citizen-Miyota ensures reliable and precise timekeeping. The leather strap is fitted with a pin buckle.

Bauhaus Walter Gropius: watches with design history

Bauhaus Walter Gropius watches represent the design principles of the Bauhaus, founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, whose work continues to exert an influence on architecture, art, graphic design, interior design and industrial design to this day. The clear, functional design of these watches was also created entirely in the spirit of the Bauhaus and embodies its essence in an exemplary manner. The design is based on the work of important Bauhaus students and lecturers - although design elements of Bauhaus architecture are also quoted in the clocks. The designs were created by the renowned object and industrial designer Daniel Eltner. The watches are manufactured in Germany, as Managing Director Christian Schmitt is convinced that quality, craftsmanship and the values of the Bauhaus are deeply rooted in no other country. This means that Bauhaus Walter Gropius watches are far more than just everyday objects. Rather, they are stylish accessories that continue the legacy of Walter Gropius and his philosophy - in a form that appeals to lovers of the classic Bauhaus style and modern watch enthusiasts alike.
