Pointec, a German watch manufacturer that names its brands after historical airships and fighter planes, has established the brand BAUHAUS in 2019, in addition to ZEPPELIN and IRON ANNIE. Now, a new, higher-end model, Bauhaus Aviation, has been released from Bauhaus.
The 2770-3QZ is a large, easy-to-read, highly legible quartz chronograph watch with two sub-dials, inspired by the Tornado fighter jet operated by the German Air Force. A date calendar is subtly incorporated into the right-hand counter at the 3 o'clock position. The turquoise blue Arabic numerals and white hands stand out against the black dial, adding a modern touch.
The rally belt, featuring turquoise blue stitching, is highly praised for its perfect balance of design and practicality, with perforations and double pins positioned just right. The case back is engraved with an illustration of a Tornado fighter jet. This is a rare, limited-distribution analog pilot watch that exudes a sporty and captivating appearance.
These German-made watches are produced in-house at the Bauhaus-designed factory, Uhrenwerk Ruhla. Based on the Bauhaus principle of "Form follows function," these watches embody a refined design that symbolizes simple, functional beauty by eliminating excessive ornamentation. It is said that pursuing simplicity is truly difficult and demands a high level of design skill.
