Most apps you open. This one you display.
Bauhaus Clock isn't a widget for checking time. It's a clock for keeping time. Designed for your desk, home office, studio or nightstand — the spaces where your device sits, not where you scroll.
Swiss watch mechanics. 28,800 beats per hour. Hand-tuned details you won't consciously notice but will absolutely feel.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• 3 Authentic Watch Movements
Smooth 4Hz mechanical sweep at 28,800 beats per hour. Classic quartz tick. Digital glide motion. Real Swiss caliber accuracy. Not an animation. Physics.
• Hand-built dial craft
Hand-tuned palettes, custom numerals, depth from real shadowing, built by someone who over-invested so you don't have to pretend it's "good enough." The result looks like a high-end mechanical watch.
• 16 Day Dials
Each color is deliberately crafted to match your space. Pick the one that feels like yours.
• 14 Lume Colors for Night
Night mode that reads like real watch lume, with a glow carefully tuned to match authentic luminescence.
• Dual Time Zones
Your time zone plus any city in the world. Perfect for remote work, travel, or keeping track of family abroad. One glance, two clocks. Both yours to tune.
• Home Screen Widget
Local or dual time, always in sync with the app.
• Automatically Launch on Charging
Automate once via Shortcuts. Every time you charge, your iPhone or iPad becomes a desk clock.
• StandBy Mode
Built for iOS StandBy, night mode activates automatically to match the dark, minimal aesthetic.
• Burn-in Protection
Smart algorithms subtly shift the clock's position to keep your screen safe during extended use.

Bauhaus Clock started as a screensaver for Mac. Built by a designer who loves watches and couldn't find one he actually wanted to look at. Every detail is intentional. The weight of the hands, the numerals, the texture of the dial, the way light hits the indices. Featured by MKBHD, MacRumors and Uncrate.

Turn something ordinary into a small moment of appreciation.
g3r4rd8
Bauhaus Clock is one of those rare apps that turns something as ordinary as checking the time into a small moment of appreciation. Every element feels carefully balanced, from the proportions of the dial to the movement of the hands. The design stays true to the Bauhaus philosophy, where simplicity and function work together without sacrificing beauty.What I enjoy most is watching the hands sweep across the face. The animation is so smooth and deliberate that it feels less like a digital display and more like a finely tuned mechanical instrument. There’s a subtle sense of weight and precision to the movement, almost as if gears and springs are working behind the glass.Many clock apps simply display the time. Bauhaus Clock creates the impression of a crafted object. The attention to detail, restrained color palette, and thoughtful motion make it feel like you’re looking at a beautifully engineered timepiece rather than pixels on a screen. It’s a small app, but one that demonstrates how great design can elevate even the simplest experience.
Beautiful Design and Craftsmanship

Day-one purchase for me, and this is actually my first time writing an App Store review.Not a complaint — just a couple of minor observations regarding the app icon in dark mode:1. It uses a true black background instead of the darker grey-to-black gradient style recommended by Apple. I understand this is likely intentional to reflect the app’s UI and aesthetic, but at times it can feel slightly out of place alongside other Home Screen icons.2. The icon details (clock hand and numbers) always use the blue (lagoon) color, even when changing the app icon color. It might feel more cohesive if the dark icon also reflected the selected light-mode icon color.5 out of 5 regardless — excellent work.
Just What I Expected - Beautiful!

I’ve been a user of the Bauhaus Clock for desktop and it’s beautiful. When I saw the app was now available for iPhone and iPad, I made the purchase without hesitation. The clock looks wonderful on both iPad and iPhone. The new dual clock feature is gorgeous as well. Whatever else Atilla has in the pipeline of apps, count me in! 499 stars!
Great

One minor request: option to make the second hand visible in dark mode.Also what about an Apple Watch face?
What's new in this version:
- Time zones with half- or quarter-hour offsets now display correctly in Dual Time. For example, India (+5:30) and Nepal (+5:45) now show the exact offset instead of rounding to the nearest hour.
- UTC is now available as an option in the selection list.
Enjoying Bauhaus Clock? A review would mean a lot.
Thank you,
Atilla
