One of my favourite watches of all time. Designed by Max Bill, the watch is simple, elegant and a perfect example that good design is timeless. A little about Max:
Max Bill, born 1908, was a Swiss architect and designer world famous for the the clarity of his designs and the precise proportions to which they are derived. A pupil to the Bauhaus architect director Walter Gropious and kindred spirit of Le Corbusie; Max Bill is regarded as a highly talented and creative designer.
One of Max Bill's most famous designs is the "Ulmer Hocker" which comprises of a stool that can also be used as a shelf element or a side table. This design is still in production worldwide more than 50 years later.

The balance between the numbers the length of the hands, the clean layout all combine to make this watch face one of the all time classics.
Moving from the wrist to the bottom our chair this week is the Bertoia Chair.
Created by Harry Bertoia in 1950 as a result of an experiment that involved bending metal rods into practical art. It is available with a removable fully upholstered cover or with loose cushions and back pads available in a variety of fabrics, colour ways and fabric. Each piece carries the signature of Bertoia as a mark of authenticity.
Stunning, fun and practical.
