max bill chronoscope

i'm a big fan of his work, and i love this chronograph of his - great example of clean, strong bauhaus design



Max Bill was probably the most important swiss artist of the 20th century and the most famous student to come out of the legendary Bauhaus in Dessau. He was a pupil of Walter Gropius and kindred spirit of Le Corbusier and Mies VanderRohewas. Max Bill was an ardent anti-fascist and all his avant-garde work as an artist, sculptor, architect and typographer showed a social responsibility and environmental awareness right through his life.
