Atrium Collection by Walter Gropius – Bauhaus Architecture on the Wrist
Discover Atrium, the architectural collection by Bauhaus Walter Gropius that uniquely unites the light-flooded Bauhaus architecture with masterful watchmaking.
The Inspiration: Bauhaus Architecture on the Wrist
Window Architecture and Automatic Movement as a Design Unity
The Atrium collection offers a double insight into the visionary architecture of the Bauhaus. Through the transparent caseback, you look directly into the heart of the watch – the automatic movement. A delicate metal structure frames this view and is modeled after the iconic window mullions of the Bauhaus building in Dessau. This makes the characteristic glass and steel architecture of Walter Gropius tangible.
Light, Color and Modern Architecture
On the deep black dial, the famous window façade of the Dessau Bauhaus is taken up again. Colored accents imitate the light falling through the glass surfaces and give the wearer the feeling of standing in the middle of a light-flooded atrium. The color design is also inspired by the mystical play of light in the Notre-Dame-du-Haut chapel in Ronchamp, thus connecting two masterpieces of modern architecture.
The Design of the Atrium Watch
Transparency, Depth and Dynamism
The Atrium impresses with its exceptional transparency and depth effect. While the dial interprets the iconic window architecture, the exhibition caseback reveals the precise interplay of the movement. The play of light, shadow, and colored reflections creates a dynamic, lively dial that changes depending on the incidence of light – entirely in the spirit of the light-flooded Bauhaus buildings.
