Stowa Back to Bauhas

If you’re going to have a minimalist watch, it shouldn’t be complicated with complications. The B2B comes with a date or not. This is the non-date model that sits above the entire Antea line as their most minimalistic timepiece. Apparently no longer available in this configuration from Stowa. Made in Germany.

About the Model:

“Since 1937 STOWA builds these so-called Bauhaus design watches. Now we have created a new model. Done by Hartmut Esslinger, founder of frog design and inventor of the Apple design language. Named Antea back to bauhaus. Hartmut Esslinger and STOWA created a new and fresh watchline in fantastic colors and modernism. We offer the watch in 3 different case sizes: 35.50 mm, 36.50 mm and 39.00 mm and different dialcolors: white, black, blue, green, brown and pink. Read more about the story of these new Bauhaus design watches below on this side.” -Stowa

“It had to be a cool interpretation of both the original design of Lange & Söhne (1937) and also the Antea by STOWA (1937). I kept the stainless steel case of the Antea Classic. The dial with the modern Bauhaus STD type from Ed Benguiat and Victor Caruso, creates a historical original with its sensitive aesthetics. The colors offered by STOWA are a tribute to Josef Albers and Johannes Itten, because bauhaus should not only be seen as black or white.” -Hartmut Esslinger
