I have looked at this brand a few times and forgotten about them. Now my looking is now more than that. I got my grubby hands on one the other day with a Unitas 6497. My friend had said since I had given him a Seiko a few years ago that he has started collecting and picked one up. I have to say I was impressed and did start looking more into them further. Think I would like a no. 3

Who we are and where we come from

With their classic design, clear style and original way of measuring time, MeisterSinger watches convey a long-standing tradition. That this tradition only became reality in 2001 from a man’s dream that the relativisation of the passage of time in modern society should not harm the feel good character of our watches. The name MeisterSinger is a throwback to Wagner’s music and famous opera. The harmony reflected in a balanced composition, the subtle drama of a good piece and the ability of music to set time aside are all qualities inherent in a MeisterSinger watch. Thus, the MeisterSinger logo carries the fermata – the pause symbol in musical notation.

The MeisterSinger team can be found at work in the harbour area of Münster, the so-called “creative mile” of the city. The classic MeisterSinger designs are created here. Sales, marketing and administration are also based in in the city. MeisterSinger watches are “designed in Germany” but also bear the label “Swiss made”, because they are produced by a small Swiss watch manufacturer according to our designs. MeisterSinger actively supports local retailers and our watches can only be purchased by dealers we have authorised.

One hand dial reading is a dealbreaker for me... the 3 hand looks nice!

I would like the one hander to wear on days off when I have nowhere to be in a hurry.

I like the three-hander, too...
