Bauhaus Walter Gropius wristwatch "Dessau 1925" – Made in Germany – Sapphire crystal – 38mm
This exclusive collection, which draws on the colours and forms of Lyonel Feininger’s paintings, reflects the creative and innovative philosophy of the Bauhaus. Feininger, a German-American painter, graphic artist and Bauhaus master, played a decisive role in shaping the visual language of the Bauhaus through his works. In a letter to his wife Julia dated 1925, Feininger wrote: “It’s all gone to hell, gentlemen, we’re off to Dessau now,” when the Bauhaus was forced to relocate from Weimar to Dessau under political pressure. This quote symbolises the resilience and progress of the Bauhaus movement. The watches in the collection are characterised by their clean lines, geometric shapes and a colour palette directly inspired by Feininger’s paintings. These design elements uniquely combine functionality and beauty, offering both collectors and design enthusiasts a piece of history and art for the wrist.
