Watches made for human needs
Since 2001, very special mechanical wristwatches have been manufactured in the Westphalian city of Münster: They have only one single hand with a fine needle point that enables the wearer to read the time. Company founder Manfred Brassler creates his classical timepieces with this unique characteristic in the technical and cultural tradition of early watchmaking.
Single-hand watches – a concept with tradition
The tower clocks of the Middle Ages also needed nothing more than a single hand: Visible from far away for the town’s citizens and the rural population, they showed how the day progressed, when it was time to rest, or when to finish work in the evenings. They helped people to plan their time.
It was only modern times and the advent of industrialization that made it necessary to think in terms of increasingly short time periods. The clocks were gradually fitted with minute and second hands, which made people aware of the constant passing of valuable time.
Technical sophistication and aesthetic ideals
With the success of its watches among buyers, MeisterSinger also raised the level of technical sophistication in its own products. In Switzerland, the company had the perfect movement for its timepieces made to measure; the manually wound MSH01, which has incredible power reserves due to its twin in-line mainspring barrels, is able to guide the single hand with great precision and smoothness.
With the design of the movement’s unique bridge, Manfred Brassler successfully merged the technical with the aesthetic ideals of MeisterSinger.
