•Left subdial (9 o'clock): 30-minute counter, for measuring elapsed time.
•Lower subdial (6 o'clock): 12-hour counter, perfect for tracking longer durations.
•Central hand: Dedicated chronograph seconds for precision timing.

Clarity, Refined in Black
A deep black dial paired with crisp white markers and hands —
focused, precise, and reduced to what matters.
At a.b.art, contrast is used to define structure,
not to create distraction.
White elements stand out clearly against the dark surface,
allowing time to be read instantly, without effort.
A calmer expression of time —
designed to stay balanced and comfortable,
day after day.
The Idea Behind DESSAU
Dessau is where Bauhaus evolved into a clear system —
where design became structured, rational, and easy to understand.
This chronograph follows the same thinking:
reduce complexity, organize information,
and make everything instantly readable.
