  Max Bill's designs for Junghans...

  

  
  

  

  The top one is my favorite but the cheapest I can find either is around $700. Any ideas for similar watches? I'm looking for something automatic, very simple construction, the more low key the better. I do not like to see the date, metal bands, any more than a primary dial, etc. Any leads would be nice, new or even just pics of random watches. I'll likely be taking any pics I can find to a few people to keep their eyes out in order to sell me something similar.

  you probably already know about this site, but...
  http://watchismo.blogspot.com/
  best place to find out about cool watches that i know of

  • Thanks. There are a lot that I like and think are cool, but I wouldn't buy or wear any of them really.– ismith1/2

    I'm still browsing though, it's nice to just scroll through pics.– ismith2/2

  also, i am guessing that swatch isn't leet enough for you, but this is what i have - it satisfies most of your criteria:
  

  

  Swatch STK100 Autoquarz - i found mine for $35 on ebay.

  • I used to have a Swatch. No problem with them but they are too stylish IMO.– ismith1/4

    That's not a great way of describing it really but I'm looking for something more classic than anything.– ismith2/4

    Is it tacky to say I want a watch that is timeless? :P– ismith3/4

    oh ok i think i know what you mean– bigtrickagain4/4

    Top one is warmer. It's difficult to find something that I like and isn't just a compromise on the Max Bill watch.– ismith2/2

  • I've heard of these, never seen this pic though! Love it. Even more $$$ though I think than Junghans.– ismith1/3

    Perhaps a used one. Do you know what model this is? There site has a lot of stuff to wade through.– ismith2/3

    i think mine is the OM8. stainless steel is around 850ish. you may find one used tho.– linearch3/3

    I',d like it more without the secondary dial, even though that's what makes the design I suppose.– ismith2/2

  seiko power design watches... only problem with these are that they're either concept only or available only in japan. There's always ebay...

  • Left and right ones are BOLD. Middle one is best but is that an interior/concave bevel?– ismith1/3

    reminds me of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice– e-pill2/3

  This is ALRIGHT, but I would much rather have a white or white-ish face and a thinner hour hand. I don't like the chunky elements that seem to be so popular...

  look:
  http://www.dimaline.com/_watches…
  these guys do custom watch dials, as well as custom hands, etc... for a pretty reasonable price ($22.50 a watch!)

  the catch: minimum order of 12!

  • well shit, just out of my budget! haha– ismith1/2

    if you designed a dope-ass watch, i bet you could sell them for a lot more than you paid.– bigtrickagain2/2
