Can a timepiece be timeless? Niessing and the designer Günter Wermekes have been pondering this question for nearly 30 years. The Niessing Radius 9 has become a timeless piece of jewelry that indicates the time. The geometrically clear design and the structural features of the Niessing Radius 9 Classic remain pioneering to this day. The watch has received numerous awards and can be found in one of the largest design collections in the world, the »Neuen Sammlung« of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.

As a further development of the rectangular Niessing Radius 9 Classic, Niessing launches two new Radius 9 models: the Niessing Radius 9 Forma has a gentle tonneau shape, while the Niessing Radius 9 Kontura – the third step in the design evolution – is perfectly rounded.

The structure of the watch models is identical: two plates of precious metal enclose the movement, and the leather watch strap runs between them – viewed from the side, the watch appears to be divided into three parts, as if it followed a »sandwich principle« design.

The distinct, serene form of the Niessing Radius 9 watches appears sensual and soft at the same time, because the precious metal plates are curved to form a circle segment with a radius of 9 centimeters – its soft curvature fits perfectly to the wrist. It is a design detail in accordance with the Bauhaus principle »form follows function« and at the same time the origin of the name »Radius 9«.
