The simple and pure lines of the watches by Max Bill whose original design dates back to 1962 are presented here with this glorious model for woman with a diameter of 34.2mm, made by Junghans. Presented here with a black face or white face, we are reminded of graphic themes related to automatic watches for men, yet here in a mechanical version. The white face version of the first is marked with hour indicators for the less minimalist. The hands are very thin and perfectly balanced with the vintage touch. 
The black version references the hour indicators with light numbers on a black background. The same idea and same simple and somber lines are present for a timeless elegance. This is the sophistication behind a unique design.
Beautiful with a polished stainless steel body and a back that is autographed by the designer, Max Bill. The movement that animates the Max Bill for women is a mechanical ETA 2801-2 movement, 17 rubies, 2800 alternations per hour, with a set aside for every 36 hours. The glass is toughened and the watch is water resistant.
Max Bill was born in 1908 in Winterthur in Switzerland and disappeared in 1994 in Berlin. He created his sketches for Junghans in 1962.Junghans re-edited the watches with more modern mechanisms but always followed the original designs of Max Bill.
Project watches, aka “watches by architects”, is a small American company that releases design watches that are very inspired by the Black Reveal, one of the ”confidentials” that has the most sucess at Timefy. The Tryo is a concept designed by Alex Garzon : 3 hands that intersect one time every hour to create one single hand. Separations and Reunions build a philosphy on the present moment, which we often find with watches by Project watches. We appreciate this point of view with it’s permanent reminder of Carpe Diem.
The aesthetic of the Tryo is very simple, minimalist, defined by centered circles that give it its bold character. 3 bars are printed with that of seconds’ one red, bringing the prefect balance to a watch with a unique graphic signature. The Tryo is water resistant up to 30m, and comes with a handsome bracelet made of soft leather. Case made of stainless steel.
Time Teller P Drab, for the urban animal in you
30 Jun 2010
The Time Teller P by Nixon also has every right to it’s own Drab version. Drab, is a bluish kaki with a matte finish for the entire watch, while the other Time Teller P watches are all glossy. A strong urban look for yet another great success for the brand. Nixon is living it up and doing quite well, confirmed yet again with this latest model.
This watch is all in the same harmonious tone aside from the 2 hands that bring a little spice with their bright blue color and provide a lovely allure. Surely a best seller for the urban people who love a hint of sobriety. This beauty is up to 50m waterproof as all the Time Teller watches, resistant, and with quality finishing in the tradition style of Nixon.
If you love watches that have an original design with a touch of avant-garde elegance, you will love the Miss V from Ventura. Ventura is under the influence of its founder Pierre Nobs and offers designs that always respond to the philosophy of the Swiss brand: an avant-garde design, durability, and perfection in regards to technology. With the Miss V we have a unique style that is always timeless and a classic of the XXI st century. Miss V, like all watches from Ventura is Swiss Made.
Miss V is a feminin style as its name has us guess. A case of 32×34mm, made of Durinex steel that is very resistant, and has an inflection in the upper part and a stretched down angle at the end. A very architecturallysimple design by Hannes Wettstein, Swiss architect and designer who worked with Pierre Nobs on several mythic models. The face is a black Chrystal Sapphire glass, with a mark in the center that shows a balanced way to read the hour. A digital watch that is very specific to Ventura.
The bracelet is made of a very handsome finish in black leather, and attaches one end to the other in the most discrete way.
The steel buckle can easily be adjusted to fit the wrist perfectly, made of brushed steel.
The Miss V line has a unique look, an inflection marking on the minimalist and brute case. Finesse and elegance for an original watch, as we do adore them! This watch represents the success of a research for an avant-garde design, keeping up with ergonomics all while holding a timeless style.
At the heart of the inflection and the upper part with the date, there are action buttons that allow you to regulate the hour or the display of the date.
Renowned Swiss designer and architect, Hannes Wettstein worked on substantial projects. His style is focused on the beauty and purity of lines in a minimalistic and uncluttered approach. Here we can recognize the ideas of his designs for Ventura with his architecture and also his designs for big names like: Lapalma, Palluco, Arflex, and even furniture design of very high-end kitchens as Dada. You can discover his designs on his studio’s website. He worked under the direction of Pierre Nobs for the design of Ventura and we can feel the collaboration has resulted in the fusion of a unique and rare result.
Pierre Nobs is the founder of Ventura. His creative process is led by 3 pilars: an avant-garde design, durability and perfection in technology; all inscribed in a Swiss tradition of watch making. Pierre Nobs wished to position his brand and designs with high-end quartz watches. Venturais a mythic brand that symbolizes for us at Timefy that quintessential of the design and alternative watch.

Nooka is the brainchild of artist and designer, Matthew Waldman.
In 1997, Matthew had a flash-back to a first grade math class while staring at a large wall clock in a London hotel and was struck by how few options there were for time display. He then sketched his ideas for potential designs on a napkin and brought them back to New York. After working on the designs, he submitted them to his legal team, and indeed, they were unique enough to patent! The linear and graphic representation of time with Nooka timepieces presents a more intuitive way to view time.
The visual mass increases as time passes, giving weight to an ephemeral and abstract concept - creating a universal visual language. Rather than just style the appearance of an object, Nooka’s reconceptualization is based on analytic and artistic underpinnings that incorporate trends in fashion and science.
The approach is beyond any material product – it is a concept, a method, a mindstyle. Nooka timepieces are renowned for their ingenuity and design, as well as the quality of the materials they use. By using fine diamonds and genuine crocodile bands with a digital display, or bold, ambitious colors to complement your sneaker collection, the goal is to Nooka-fy the way you use timepiece accessories.

The Newton Pink by Nixon is the most eye candy version of the Newton serie. An intense Pink and a superb urban look for this unique watch. We love this design that is a mix between modernity and fashion. The hours and minutes are displayed with rotating spots that take place in a very stylish and simple dial. Simply nice, zen and smart.
Newton is a watch that suits men and women. Its 38×38mm dial is large enough to give a very nice prensence on the wrist. It’s nice and really urban looking. It’s offbeat, trendy and also sportive, the Newton is waterproof 3 ATM/30m.
