Bauhaus Walter Gropius J. ALBERS Wristwatch

Walter Gropius watches are a tribute to the founder of the Bauhaus and therefore the perfect statement for all fans of the brilliant architect and visionary. Walter Gropius revolutionized the approach to art, design and architecture. As the founder of the Bauhaus, he is considered a pioneer of modern architecture. But what would a watch designed by Gropius have looked like?

The design of Walter Gropius watches does not imitate Gropius' design style, but reinterprets it.
but reinterprets it. Bauhaus stands for timeless design, minimalism, but above all for experimentation. Walter Gropius watches address precisely this aspect and make the playful and curious aspect of the Bauhaus visible. Poppy colors based on the primary colors blue, yellow and red, colored hands and graphic dials are characteristic of the new watch collection. On the one hand, the design of the watches refers to the architecture of the state Bauhaus in Dessau and the artistic work of its famous students and lecturers. On the other hand, the design of the watches is based on the Memphis Group's design principle »Form Follows Fantasy and Fiction«.

The J. Albers collection was created in the style of Josef Albers' »Homage to the Square« painting. In 2019, the WG005-01 model received the Good Design Award.
