The hand of time: while the Münster-based brand perfectly encapsulates minimalist Bauhaus watch design, its biggest selling point is the single hour hand on its timepieces.

Meistersinger’s unique philosophy takes inspiration from the tower clocks of the Middle Ages – and hopes to encourage its wearers to live in the moment, rather than watching the, er, clock.

Meister dynamite

The Neo Plus is Meistersinger’s latest example of sleek German watchmaking. It features double-digit numerals and a circular date window at six o’clock, all on an elegant domed ivory dial.

It’s built for the day to day, whether you’re in the office or on the town.
