Re: What Were They Wearing in the "Bauhaus" Era?

Hi Jeff, Kano produced this in the thirties while the school was still open -


(C. leicamaster @ WuS)

: You know, all this focus on "Bauhaus" design /
: minimalism -- in selecting a watch for our future son-in-law and
: in reading about the origins of the Carrera -- has left me
: wondering, what watches were actually made in the Bauhaus era,
: representing this style? Or would we say that the watches in the
: Bauhaus style were not made while the Bauhaus existed physically
: (1919 to 1933), but came later, when the Bauhaus style became
: more popular, say during the 1940s?

: Stated differently, if you wanted to buy a Bauhaus watch, that was
: made in or soon after the Bauhaus era, what would it be? Stowa?
: What other brands, from "back in the day"? Don't worry
: guys, I am not expecting this to become a new theme for my
: collection, but I am interested in the watches of the Bauhaus
: era.
