Seiko produces a vast assortment of different timepieces but above all else, it is the brand’s dive watches that hold the most cherished place within the hearts of the collecting community.

However, while the original 1950s model significantly pre-dated the advent of quartz timekeeping, the new Junghans Max Bill Kitchen Clock benefits from the accuracy and autonomy of a German-made Junghans quartz movement, while the 60-minute timer remains fully mechanical, just like the original model. Made out of ceramic with a domed mineral crystal over its dial and finished in a stunning pale blue color, the teardrop shape stays true to the design of the original, with a simple 10” two-handed clock occupying the top portion and a kitchen timer placed at the smaller end below it. However, the very first product that Max Bill designed for Junghans was not a wristwatch at all, but rather a kitchen wall clock, and the brand has recently revived this gorgeous design from 1956 and reimagined it for the modern era. Named after the famous Bauhaus designer and architect, the Max Bill line is easily the most famous and iconic collection from Junghans, and its minimalist design has remained largely unchanged since it was first introduced way back in the 1950s. Aesthetically engaging and connected to their individual manufacturer’s unique design language and heritage, these watch dial-inspired clocks are perfect for everyone from loyal brand enthusiasts to watch collectors to students who simply need a clock to remind them when homework time is up! To further increase our wall clock offerings available from the Windup Watch Shop, we’re adding models from Junghans, Seiko, and Citizen that all draw their aesthetic inspiration from iconic wristwatches that define their respective brands’ catalogs. It’s hardly a secret that we love anything with a connection to watchmaking that tells the time, and we have recently been expanding our selection of wall and table clocks to include models from the exact same brands that produce our favorite wristwatches.

An interest in horology often only gets discussed within the greater context of watches, but long before people were wearing timepieces on their wrists, they were relying on clocks to provide them with the time of day and keep them on schedule for their everyday lives.
