MeisterSinger was founded in 2001 and takes its name from a group of middle-class poets and singers from the 15th and 16th Century. The brand’s logo is a fermata, the symbol for rest in musical notation. MeisterSinger are heavily inspired by the first mechanical clocks of the Middle Ages as they only had one hand. During this period of history, people had no need for precise timing, so an idea of the time would suffice. By adopting this philosophy, the brand allows the wearer to focus on the quality of their time, rather than the quantity. This places an acute awareness on how time is spent instead of how quickly it passes. MeisterSinger aim for simplicity and clarity in all of their designs. The classic styles of the brand are timeless with little regard for trends and styles. The Classic collection embodies MeisterSinger’s philosophies and timeless design. Each model in this collection features the iconic single-hand dial that has become so recognisable and unique to the brand. The Classic models are the core timepieces of the brand, focusing only on the necessities rather than excessive detail.
