Genetic kinship instead of visual backdrop
The ideals of the Bauhaus are as relevant today as they were during the active period of the famous design school. The aesthetics, on the other hand, have developed further over the past 100 years. With its watches, BOTTA transfers the philosophy of the Bauhaus to the present day in terms of design. Discover genuine originals with unique display concepts, advanced in design and technology.

I am 73 years old, and have "only" 2 watches. My son is half my age, and he has 20+. (Collector.) I inherited my Doxa from my father, wear that on holidays. I have an every day watch, Omega, for about 15 years. BUT my favorite now is yours, the UNO 24. Just love the simplicity. Thanks again,
