The Classics
The classic tale of imbibing minds with classicism comes with the acute responsibility of being true to the roots. Inside the MeisterSinger Classic collection, that responsibility is instilled with perfection. The roots being the first MeisterSinger to draw attention towards a much more casual way of timekeeping. The N° 01 was the first watch to be rolled out of the MeisterSinger’s pitstop. Carrying forward the N° 01 DNA, the MeisterSinger Classic collection is more about keeping the primogeniture alive. A simple dial, very difficult to differentiate from most of the collections under the MeisterSinger brand tag, the Classic collection is differentiated with an N° 01 and the N° 03 perfectly placed over the 6 o’clock marker. Apart from the N denomination, the collection is also equipped with the Pangaea series.
The N° 01
Designed on the basis of the first MeisterSinger, the N° 01 is a classic take on MeisterSinger’s idea of crafting timepieces. With a clean simple dial, the N° 01 is featured with a polished case with functional typography. The N° 01 is primarily available in 43mm case size but there are also 40mm variants. Equipped with the Sellita SW 210 hand-wound movement, the N° 01 offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and vibrates at a frequency of 28,800 vph. The 43mm version of the N° 01 holds the RedDot Design Award in 2004.
The N° 03
Another entry into the MeisterSinger Classic collection is the N° 03. An automatic cousin of the N° 01, the N° 03 is also available with a date function in a few timepieces that are fixed at the 6 o’clock marker. The 43mm version of the N° 03 series was bestowed with the GOOD Design award in 2007. Apart from the simple N° 03, the series is also home to the N° 03 Black Line edition, a timepiece finished with carbon-coated DLC.
