MeisterSinger Adhaesio is a brand which the watches are affordable.MeisterSinger Neo, a collection launced in 2015 is a small retro-inspired single-hand watch.
MeisterSinger Adhaesio watches comes in good quality, a pleasant design, simple but reliable mechanical movements and prices that are really acceptable. Right, all of these are interesting features but there’s nothing unique here. There are other brands that are doing affordable, qualitative, well-designed mechanical watches. However, don’t be wrong. MeisterSinger really has something unique – and quite cool too… Mono-aiguille watches. Or to be simple: single-hands watches.
Keep that in mind because the Meistersinger Neo is all about this motto: less hands, less features, less metal, less weight, less inscriptions but in the end, it gives more pleasure than expected. First of all the Neo comes with less metal as its case measures only 36mm. As we like to remind our readers, this size used to be a normal diameter for a watch in the early 2000s . A 36mm watch is also bringing something that a 42mm case can’t have: a delicate elegance. Keeping a watch reasonably sized allows you to wear it in every circumstance, with every outfit and on every wrist. This watch will definitely look good on a teenager, on an older man with elegant attires or… on your wife’s wrist. Anyway, you also might be aware of another feature of this watch; its absence of bezel, making its face a dial-only – thus virtually increasing its diameter. Be sure that on the average wrist, the Meistersinger Neo will look appropriate.
There is nothing else than the brand and the name of the model written on the dial, which is good and elegant. However, when it comes to the indexes, this watch brings more. What you see are not minute indexes (like on your neighbor’s extremely boring 3-hand watch) and no, there are not 60 markers. In fact there are 144 markers on the dial, each indicating a 5-minute interval. Time reading will thus be precise to the 5 closest minutes, which is, on a daily basis, more than precise enough. The point of the Meistersinger Neo is not to be the most precise watch but rather to offer a different display without falling into extreme complications. It certainly has a bit of poetry and of outdated / retro coolness in it – which fits quite well the size and shape of the case.
