For obvious reasons, the watch world tends to glorify complexity and the accumulation of functions into a single watch. We, at MONOCHROME, are no better than the rest of the crowd and we can spend days contemplating a Grande Complication watch, or a timepiece with a novel, ultra-complex escapment. However, we also tend to forget […]
MeisterSinger hardly needs an introduction. This award-winning German brand is renowned for its distinctive single-hand time display design, which makes it instantly recognizable.

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.

As the Moon is an ever-present celestial body, completing one cycle around our planet in approximately 29.5 […]
