From the very beginning, simplicity, clarity, balance, and consistency were the most important criteria for Manfred Brassler, the founder of the brand and still the designer of MeisterSinger’s unmistakable single-hand watches today. The fact that he succeeded in creating a true icon of chronometry is borne out by his N° 01, which has lost none of its fascination even today, 20 years after it was launched. It is the mother of all MeisterSinger watches, and all its essential design features are still reflected in the series created since that time. Manfred Brassler has not forgotten one of the first lines written about MeisterSinger in the watch magazine Chronos:
Although the various details of a MeisterSinger may be unspectacular in themselves, they combine to form an amazing visual experience. One senses that if any one of those details were to be removed, the overall impression would no longer be quite the same.
And that applies to all timeless classics.
