Description
The jewel in MeisterSinger’s crown is undoubtedly the stunning in-house MSH01 calibre with a rotor winding mechanism with a circling tungsten weight that supplies the two barrels with energy while at the same time offering a clear view of the unique movement geometry. This unimpeded view is also safeguarded by delicate skeletonizing of the rotor, which resembles the fermata in the manufacturer’s logo.
The in-house automatic calibre represents a key step for MeisterSinger towards a whole movement family designed specifically for its single-hand watches with a variety of purposes and different characteristics. For example, in contrast to the hand-wound variant, the MSH01 automatic movement displays the date as well as the time. The first model powered by the MSA01 is the Circularis Automatic. Its classic MeisterSinger face has been enhanced with a number of unique features. The hour digits have been mounted on the face as appliques. The single, lance-formed hour hand (in either white or red, depending on model) has been coated with superluminova, making it possible to read the time even in the dark. The recess of the round date window has been meticulously metallized for optimal contrast and definition.
The polished, stainless steel case of the Circularis Automatic has a sturdy diameter of 43 millimeters. This leaves ample room for the expressive dial colours available for this model: The MeisterSinger classic, which come in dark sapphire blue (white hands/numerals) and anthracite grey (red hand/white numerals) each with a delicate sunburst finish that shimmers when it catches the light.
Those who choose the benefits of an automatic but miss the beautiful ritual of winding their timepiece each day can invent a new one, circling the rotor over the beautifully shaped movement, generating energy almost as an afterthought.
The crisp sapphire blue sunburst blue dial provides an eye-catching backdrop for the clean white numerals and slim, single hand to deliver a fresh, almost nautical look that wears equally well day or night, casual or formal.
