Here we have an intriguing single handed limited edition watch from German brand Meistersinger. 
 
In 2001, Manfred Brassler founded Meistersinger, who are based in Munich. Their watches display the time in the same manner of the earliest clocks and pocket watches. The single hand points to the hours and minutes which is an intriguing and novel method of time telling. 
 
In 2017 they launched the Meistersinger No.1 City Edition which was a limited edition run of 45 different cities, with each city watch highlighting the location of one of their retail branches. 
This is a Barcelona City Edition, limited number 4 of 20 pieces. The watch is based on the No.01 model and the pieces are the identical, bar the case back. Each edition has the silhouette of the select city’s skyline printed onto a sapphire crystal exhibition window to the movement. The signing around the case back also has the city name signed. 
 
The round stainless steel case measures 40mm with polished finishing to the bezel and brushed finishes to the sides with the polished bevel to the sides of the lugs. The lugs are subtly tapered which ensures a comfortable fit to the wrist. To the right-hand side is the signed crown with the Meistersinger logo. It has a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating which ensures the dial can be enjoyed. 
The dial is a dark grey/blue tone dial which is unique to the City edition. The minute track is in white with the simple dash markers. The hour markers are a light gold tone which provides a touch of warmth to the dial and contrasts against the tone. The dial is signed with the ‘No.01 City Edition’ marking. The white tone single hand has a tapered design. 
The case back screws down and has the exhibition sapphire crystal window with the Barcelona city skyline printed in black. 
The watch is powered by the Selllita SW 210 manual wind movement. It is a reliable calibre with a jewel count of 19 jewels and a beat rate of 28,800 BPH. 
 
The watch is presented on a beautiful light brown leather Delugs strap. 
 
It comes with its full original inner and outer box, with the signed warranty. Card and manual.
