FineWatchesBerlin Teufelsberg Automatic 40.5mm – German Made

Berlin history, Bauhaus influence and mechanical watchmaking brought together in one distinctive design.

The FineWatchesBerlin Teufelsberg takes its name from one of Berlin’s most remarkable landmarks — a man-made hill created from the remains of post-war Berlin, later home to a Cold War listening station and today a centre for street art, culture and urban creativity.

That mixture of history, transformation and modern Berlin character runs through the watch itself.

The Teufelsberg combines clean architectural lines with carefully chosen colour, layered dial construction and an unusual small-seconds display positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. It is unmistakably influenced by Bauhaus thinking, but refuses to become another anonymous minimalist watch.

Made in Ruhla, Germany, it offers genuine mechanical substance beneath the design.

Design & Build

The Teufelsberg is a watch that rewards closer inspection.

The dial uses a double-layer construction, placing the small-seconds register below the main dial and creating a sense of depth that is often missing from minimalist watches. Applied numerals and markers, contrasting details and carefully selected colours give each version its own personality.

The 40.5mm stainless-steel case strikes an excellent balance between presence and everyday wearability, measuring approximately 11.4mm thick and weighing around 75g.

Small details reinforce the FineWatchesBerlin identity: decorative blue lug screws, an engraved case flank, coloured crown detail and a six-screw sapphire exhibition back.

Each watch is completed by a handcrafted 20mm leather strap with quick-release mechanism and engraved stainless-steel buckle.

The movement provides:

21 jewels
21,600 vibrations per hour / 3Hz
Approximately 42 hours of power reserve

The sapphire exhibition case back allows the movement and FineWatchesBerlin finishing details to remain visible.

Why Buy This Watch?

The Teufelsberg succeeds because it does not simply copy the familiar Bauhaus formula.

It takes the clarity and discipline of German design and gives it colour, depth and personality. The recessed small seconds, layered dial, blue construction details and visible automatic movement ensure there is always something interesting to discover.

There is also a genuine connection to Berlin behind the name. Teufelsberg itself has been transformed repeatedly through history — from wartime rubble to Cold War listening station and eventually to one of Berlin’s most recognisable cultural landmarks.

FineWatchesBerlin translates that spirit into a watch that feels contemporary without forgetting where it came from.

Distinctive without being extravagant. German without being predictable. Very Berlin.
