What was I only saying the other day about getting tempted by watches that come up for sale

Deal just done, so sellers pics for now

I've wanted to try one of these for a while.

Just hope people don't start thinking I'm an Architect when I wear it

These are great. They have nice wrist presence for a relatively small watch.

Love that version of the Chronoscope. I am an Architect, and have thought about buying one many times. Always afraid it will be to dainty, and I don't mind smaller watches. I look forward to your impressions and a wrist shot.

What size is it (too lazy to Google)

That's a beautiful watch, congrats

Always Been tempted by it too. Was curious where its name came from?

It seems to share the same case my Zeppelin had, which was very nice. Profile was killer, lots of detail for the $.

Max Bill was a famous Bauhaus (Swiss) artist, graphic designer and architect. Studied under Walter Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus movement and school.

To my knowledge the Chronoscope was designed after Bill died.

The price is too high.

Post by **matt.wu** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 9:16 am

I've always wanted one of these as well. Nice pickup.

Those are very attractive to my eye. Congrats!

I love it. I have wanted to try a Max Bill forever. Loved seing it at a Watchbuys show, but those goobs don't sell the watches. Poor choice..... Offer liquor. Sell watches.

Congrats.
