Noble homage: J. Albers wristwatch 005-01 by Walter Gropius

The German painter, art theorist and educator Josef Albers was known for his preference for geometric figures. With the J. Albers collection, the Walter Gropius brand honours the artist , who died in 1976, and skilfully picks up on one of Albers' most famous works: his work cycle "Homage to the Square" - around 2,000 oil paintings, each of which depicts four superimposed squares.

For the watch design, the coloured squares were translated into colourful circles that adorn the dial. The watch also shines with its high-quality stainless steel case, its scratch-resistant watch glass and its reliable quartz movement, which strictly prevents us from being late.

In 2019, the WG005-01 model was honoured with the Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum, the oldest and most prestigious design award in the world.

Perspective, space and time

The watch collections of the Bauhaus brand Walter Gropius celebrate the Bauhaus style in its purest form. They shine with their skilful interplay of minimalism and functionalism as well as a colourfulness true to Walter Gropius' saying: "Colourful is my favourite colour!".

The Bauhaus watch collections are the brainchild of designer Daniel Eltner. All his designs are based on the three basic shapes of the Bauhaus - square, triangle and circle - and play with the concepts of perspective, space and time.

Material and format

The J. Albers wristwatch is a quartz watch, type Citizen Miyota, calibre 2035. It is manufactured in Germany to the highest quality standards.

The silver-coloured case made of 100% stainless steel 316L has a diameter of 39 mm and is 9 mm high. The case back is screwed in. The dial with its unique Bauhaus design in the colours blue, yellow, grey, red and black is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

The watch has a silver-coloured pin buckle and a black, 18 mm wide cowhide strap with easy-release function. It also has a water resistance of 50 m/5 bar.
