At first glance, the craftsmanship of the casing immediately stands out. With a robust yet graceful size of 40 mm and a thickness of 12 mm, the polished stainless steel casing serves as a sturdy foundation. Its spherical curves and delicate lugs add a touch of finesse, showing the meticulous attention to detail that went into its creation.
Turn the timepiece over and the transparent case back, fashioned from brushed and engraved stainless steel, offers an engrossing view of the intricate mechanics that lie within. Its water resistance up to 5 ATM makes the watch as practical as it is captivating to look at.
The cherry on top of this elegant housing is the conforming, domed glass. This not only protects the dial but also imparts a sense of depth. The dial itself is a study in understated elegance. It sports a muted white-silver color scheme contrasted by printed Arabic hour numbers and minute indicators in increments of five. A luminescent logo adds a final, subtle flourish.
Inside this marvel beats the heart of a Sellita SW266-1 automatic movement. Its three-hand regulator function combines Swiss precision and technical brilliance. The arrangement of the hour, minute, and second hands, with the unique positioning of the hour hand at 12 o’clock and the small second hand at 6 o’clock, facilitates an easy and clear reading of the time. This is further supported by 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 41 hours. An additional touch of luxury is provided by the 31 jewels intricately placed within the movement, serving not just aesthetic purposes but also contributing to the longevity of the timepiece.
And what would an exquisite watch be without an equally splendid strap? Here, the Bauhaus Regulator doesn't disappoint. It comes fitted with a luxury Shell Cordovan leather band, which is crafted from vegetable-tanned calfskin of exceptional quality. A simple pin buckle ensures a secure and comfortable fit around your wrist.
The hands of the watch in a rod shape are another highlight. Black rods with a gold-polished center glide majestically across the dial, completing the aesthetic composition of this extraordinary timepiece.
The synergy of the reliable Sellita movement and Bauhaus's minimalist aesthetics make this wristwatch a must-have for those who want to combine timeless elegance with modern functionality. It’s not just an incredibly reliable timekeeping instrument but also a piece of jewelry that subtly elevates your personal style. With its host of features and impeccable design, this watch is much more than a simple timekeeper; it's a statement of taste and a testament to high-quality craftsmanship.
