Used but mint condition 2 month old Max Bill automatic. UK retail price is £575 (US $940). The Max Bill design watch is remains true to form of the original Max Bill design watches dating from the 1950’s.  Almost nothing has altered apart from the fact that it is constructed today from modern materials in a modern environment, and of course with a modern movement.  These factors make for an altogether more accurate, stronger and more reliable wristwatch.  It is a classical design and looks like it has stepped right of the decade from which it was first introduced – and many watches standards were set by designs like this one.  It has got a 25 jeweled Swiss made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. The case is gold plated which is highly polished, and slender and sleek in deign.  It has a solid steel snap on case back which bears Max Bill’s signature.  The dial is mat black with minute markings and hour markings giving a very minimalist feel to it.  Long flowing lines seem to be the main design influence, therefore the hour markers and hands are long.  The long hands touch the correct points where the hour hand tips the hour marks, the minute hand touches the minute marks numbers, and the central sweep second hand follows the same line as the minute hand, just tipping the minute/second marks as it sweeps past them.  The hands are luminous filled, with double luminous dot at the 12 position, and single luminous dots at the 3, 6 and 9 position.  Has an attractive convex highly domed plexi glass acrylic crystal, which at some angles makes the dial appear slightly curved, creating an appealing effect. This is the same as the regular automatic, but this time, with date at the 3 position It comes on a good quality black leather strap with polished steel pin buckle.  Made in Germany with Swiss movement. Brand new with 2 year warranty, comes with box and instructions.  Junghans reference 027/4701.00. Width is 38 mm excluding crown and 40 mm including crown, Lug to lug is 40 mm, Thickness is 10 mm.  Ref. NWW 710.  Price is £395 or US $595

Casio are one of the world leaders in digital watch technology. They were one of the pioneering companies in digital watch technology and have taken the best share of the market due to their innovations and technology. In addition to this, they remain a competitively priced brand with watches that have a great deal of charisma to them. This one is the G-Shock Wave Ceptor Solar. As the name suggests, G-Shock, means that it is a shock proof watch, built to high standards and is durable and tough. It is solar powered where sun rays are absorbed through the dial to recharge the battery. There is a battery life indicator on the dial. The functions include time in hours, minutes and seconds. It is 20 bar water resistant which is approximately 200 metres. It has an LED back light for time reading in the dark. It has a radio transmitter to receive a signal from an atomic clock so the watch is very accurate, however this is a Japanese model and the signal is received from the Japanese atomic clock and Europe is out of range, so the signal is not received. It keeps time to regular quartz standards without a time signal from the atomic clock. It has a 1/100th second chronograph. It also has a second time zone function. There is also an alarm. Of course it also has calendar with day and date . The time display is in twelve or twenty four hour format. The case and bracelet is strong and durable and is built from titanium with a nylon composite trim for strengthening it around the case edge and the lug part of the bracelet – traditionally the weakest points on a watch where they are susceptible to the most damage. Comes in box. The instructions are in Japanese so some knowledge is needed to understand how to set the watch. Instructions can possibly be obtained from Casio or downloaded. Dimensions are as follows. Width is 47 mm, lug to lug is 57 mm, and thickness is 16.5 mm. Ref NWW 665. Price is £145 or US $275
