Famed for the signature design that almost all of his watches share, French architect and designer turned watchmaker Alain Silberstein’s timepieces have become increasingly sought-after thanks to their whimsical handsets, colorful designs, and the plethora of complications they often-times feature. By utilizing shapes and colors never seen before in watchmaking, Alain’s design philosophy quickly caught on as collectors saw the value in a unique design language removed from the traditionally conservative styling used by the vast majority of watchmakers. As a result, the Krono Bauhaus 2 is a joyful piece of watchmaking exuberance. Its mechanical complexity works wonderfully to accentuate the variety of colors and shapes shown on the dial and handset. Powered by the Valjoux cal. 7751, based on the legendary cal. 7750, the Krono Bauhaus 2 is an annual calendar chronograph with a moon phase and day/night indicators. With Alain’s signature tall round case with eccentric pushers, the entire design is cohesive and complete, just as Alain’s timepieces often feel as the legendary designer-turned-watchmaker exhibits total unwavering control over his creative process.

The watch is in very good condition overall. Dial appears to be free of any blemishes. Case has surface abrasions, particularly on the bezel. Strap has been replaced. Original buckle is also included.

While playful in its design, the Krono Bauhaus 2 is far from Bauhaus-inspired with its array of complications and complex design, ensuring it is indeed a watch that packs a hefty horological punch just because it can and wants to.
