When, 10 years ago, the watch enthusiast and designer Manfred Brassler established the German watch company MeisterSinger, his quest was to create pure mechanical timepieces that were not overburdened with complications and features on the dial. It was important that no second, minute, split second hand or second or third time zone should disturb the simple and balanced design of a MeisterSinger single-hand watch. The simple design of these genuine timepieces, as a counterpoise to today’s hustle and bustle, was the basis for the success of the single-hand watch.
