For almost 25 years, MeisterSinger has been our number one source for everything single-hand timepieces. It’s not even a signature for the brand, it’s a fundamental purpose, an inescapable feature to be found on all its watches – without or with additional complications. This deliberate choice to indicate the time without the frenetic minute and […]
Founded in 1983 by Gerd R. Lang in München, Germany, Chronoswiss quickly became the main advocate of the regulator display – it was, in fact, the first brand to release a serially-produced regulator wristwatch in 1987.

Thanks to the accomplished vintage design of its successful Millesime collection, Raymond Weil is emitting a stronger signal on the watchmaking radar.
