Archao – the trusted MeisterSinger classic, but completely reimagined – graphically bold and endowed with exceptional afterglow luminosity.

Classics are those that remain

MeisterSinger is renowned for its outstanding design. Nearly 40 design awards are impressive confirmation of this fact. Among other things, each MeisterSinger astonishes with its remarkably high degree of recognizability.

Unlike almost any other watch brand, even in its 25th anniversary year, MeisterSinger has remained true to its unmistakable design language.

Light show

With the Archao, the MeisterSinger collection welcomes yet another strikingly characterful addition in this anniversary year. The bold, appliquéd hour markers echo the divided single hand and already reveal its secret: throughout the day the Archao absorbs light, only to release it at night in a display of maximum luminosity.

The prominent hour markers and the distinctive, needle-shaped hand are crafted as white LumiBlocks, which store light like a battery during the day to unleash their enduring brightness after dark. The result is a picture-perfect timepiece, by day and by night.

Refined details shape the overall impression

Housed in its imposing 43-mm case, the Archao is always guaranteed to make a memorable impression. The large cylindrical case features an elegant matt black coating. The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating makes this watch particularly hard-wearing and rugged.

The finely grained structure of the dark dials in black, red, or blue creates a stunning contrast to the bold graphic elements of the dial. The generously proportioned half-hour and quarter-hour markers are presented in crisp white, as are the numerals and hour indices, while the five-minute markings appear in light gray, intentionally fading into the background.

The completely redesigned single hand is conceived as a formally “divided” element: the triangular tip at the front continues down into the elongated overhang at the back, interrupted only at the center. Its distinctive width is hollowed out from within – a subtle, yet clear-cut detail that lends the Archao added depth and impressively enhances its presence in the dark.

The robust saddle leather strap with its exclusive, contrasting white stitching ideally matches the dial, highlighting the assertive design of this timepiece.

The inner workings of the Swiss-made Sellita SW200 automatic caliber feature a 38-hour power reserve.

Archao = primal

The name Archao is derived from the Greek archaios – which means “primal” or “original.” Those who think “originally” tend to focus their gaze on that which truly matters. Seen in this light, the Archao – perhaps even more so than other MeisterSinger models – has an even more powerful impact with its minimalist simplicity.

On the reverse side, the printed exhibition glass back features the name of the model. The word “Archao” appears as a transparent script set against a volcano-inspired background – a fitting metaphor for the origin that harmonizes perfectly with its name.

From the very outset, the MeisterSinger brand has been guided by a simple idea: time doesn’t need to be divided into minutes and seconds in order to be meaningful. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: anyone who wears a MeisterSinger experiences time in a different way. The single hour hand makes every glance at the watch calmer and directs your focus to the precious moment. Time itself feels less rushed – and all the more consciously experienced. It’s the watch for that which really matters.

-About MeisterSinger


MeisterSinger is an owner-managed family company based in Münster, Germany. Since 2001, the brand has been synonymous with mechanical watches crafted to “Swiss made” quality standards. MeisterSinger focuses on single-hand watches that invite you to experience time in a more relaxed manner. Every MeisterSinger watch bears a distinctive signature, inspired by the charisma of classic measuring instruments – minimalist, perfectly balanced, and resolutely functional. Over 35 awards presented by the most prestigious design panels impressively underline MeisterSinger’s excellent design expertise.
With its single-hand approach, MeisterSinger creates its timepieces in the technical and cultural tradition of early watchmaking. For centuries, clocks and watches indicated the time with a single hand; only in the 18th century were minute and second hands introduced.

MeisterSinger single-hand watches are sold in over 30 countries worldwide and appeal to people who appreciate the extraordinary.
