Max Bill

Morning,

Does anyone know of a dealer in Max Bill watches in London?

I'm very interested in a Chronoscope (white face, no numerals) but want to see one in the flesh before buying.

Thanks!

There is a little watch shop opposite the High Court of Justice in fleet street it has the exact watch you describe in the window (amongst other Junghans).

I have often thought of popping in to try it on. Can't remember what the shop is called though.

Thanks anyway - that does help narrow it down. Might be worth me having a wander down there.

Saw some in Zurich recently but didn't get the chance to try one on.

Google has not been that helpful with my query on this subject.

Just found it using google street view!

Its called Alsal Watches

The Junghans aren't listed on their website but I can assure you they definitely sell them. I walk past the shop when I visit our London office every couple of weeks and stop for an admiring glance.

That's great - thanks!

This shop did come up in my google search but since it didn't list Max Bill on the website I crossed it off the list.

Will pop in there on Saturday.

That is gorgeous! Thanks for the photos.

I really want a white faced watch as both my Sinn 856 and Tag Carrera (reissue) are black faced.

Checking out the recommended shop later today - snow, ice and time allowing...

I discovered that the shop is closed on Saturdays. To make it worse thay have metal shutters pulled down, so I couldn't even press my nose against the glass and have a look at the merchandise!

I've got meetings in London on Wednesday so I might find time to pop back then. Will keep you posted.......
