With their single-handed time indications, MeisterSinger’s watches offer a refreshing change of tempo to our fast-paced, hyper-accurate digital universe. Founded in 2001 by Manfred Brassler in Münster, Germany, the brand’s inspiration resides in the sundials and single-hand tower clocks of the Middle Ages. In 2004, the brand released a special watch called the Edition 1Z. […]
MeisterSinger is a German watchmaking company from Münster. It was launched by Manfred Brassler in 2001, yet the brand’s timepieces exude a timeless style reminiscent of the long past 1960s. MeisterSinger is renowned for its single-hand watches and boasts a distinctive brand identity centred around conveying time in a tranquil and intuitive manner, with displays […]
Since its creation in 2001, MeisterSinger has been seen as the master of the single-hand watch. Unlike most timepieces on the market (at least 99% of them), which display the time with 3 hands – hours, minutes, seconds – MeisterSinger’s models have a different, slightly poetic and slower approach to time with a mono-aiguille that […]
Single-hand watches are the mainstay of German brand MeisterSinger. Proving that single-handed watches can perform multiple functions, MeisterSinger has produced a rich collection, ranging from straightforward time-only models all the way up to a sophisticated repeater or a jumping hour dive watch.

Taking its inspiration from yesteryear’s rudimentary tower and table clocks, MeisterSinger has built a solid brand around a rather unusual premise: all its watches are equipped with a single hand.

As the Moon is an ever-present celestial body, completing one cycle around our planet in approximately 29.5 […]
We all look for different things when searching for watches to expand our collection. Some people keep an eye out for resale value, exclusivity, complexity or some exotic material. Others might look for a specific design language or value-for-money. For me, it can be any of those things, but what I first and foremost look […]
Ever since 2004, the Germand brand of MeisterSinger has made it a habit of presenting annual special editions geared towards the Dutch market. This line of so-called NL Editions has not only captured the hearts of the Dutch but is actually quite popular outside of our small country as well. However, since production volumes are […]
MeisterSinger, the renowned German watchmaker celebrated for its mastery of single-handed time reading, oddly did not offer watches with one of the most romantic complications until recently – the moon phase indication. However, in 2018, MeisterSinger introduced the Lunascope, followed by another new model in 2021, the Stratoscope, featuring a captivating oversized moon phase display. […]
Founded in 2001, MeisterSinger has made a name for itself with one very specific feature; a display that relies on a single hand to tell the time. Indeed, only the hour hand is used, and the minutes are relegated to an approximation to the closest 5-minute mark. The single hand slows things down, removing the […]
