a.b.art Watch Guide: Freiburg, G1, Sizing & Care
a.b.art creates watches with clean lines and a minimalist design language rooted in Bauhaus principles. This guide explains selected models and the details to check before ordering.
Where does a.b.art come from?
a.b.art was founded in Freiburg, Germany, in 1991 and relocated to Biel, Switzerland, in 2003. Its brand history and design roots should be distinguished from the manufacturing origin of a particular watch.
What is distinctive about the Freiburg date display?
The Freiburg design uses a ring of 31 apertures to display the date instead of a conventional date window. Check the selected product's photographs and specifications to see how the display is presented.
How do the Freiburg 101 and G1 examples differ?
| Detail | Freiburg 101 | G1 |

| Movement listed | Ronda 715 Swiss Parts | ETA 2824-2 mechanical movement |
| Distinctive feature | Ring of 31 date apertures | Transparent case back showing the movement |

This comparison describes the linked products. It should not be applied to every a.b.art model. Check the exact variant before purchase.
Does every a.b.art watch have the same movement or origin label?
No single movement specification should be assumed for the whole range. Read the movement named on the individual product page. A Swiss Parts movement specification does not by itself establish a Swiss Made claim for the complete watch.
How should I choose a case size and strap?
Compare the case diameter listed for the selected variant with a watch you already find comfortable. Confirm the strap dimensions and compatibility for the exact model. For example, the linked Freiburg 101 product offers 36 mm and 41 mm variants; availability and configurations may change.
How should I care for my watch?
Use a microfibre cloth to clean the glass. Check the water-resistance rating for your exact watch and consider the strap material before exposing it to water. Ratings and material requirements vary by product.
Read watch cleaning, battery and water-resistance guidance.
Where can I check delivery and return conditions?
The shipping and return pages set out the current conditions. Check them before ordering and contact info@abart.com if you need help with a specific destination or return. Order processing and delivery transit are different stages.
