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.

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!
