With the overwhelming popularity of integrated-bracelet sports watches in the last two years, it could be said that the era of dive-watch supremacy is petering out. This could prove a good thing for the dive-watch enthusiast, however, as the market will hopefully see less saturation of endless small variations and more of a focus on … 
It’s that time of year where we can look back and be astounded at the sheer quality and quantity of microbrand releases yet again, with our weekly Micro Mondays segment seemingly full to bursting with fantastic options.

Although I am a self-confessed lover of weird things, I could never really put my finger on why I hadn’t fallen for Meistersinger. I’ve always enjoyed their single-handed quirk and charm, and I’ve definitely recommended them to people who are looking for something different in the past, but it wasn’t until the new Meistersinger Singularis …
