Dial
The dial consists of two superimposed layers, with the numerals and hour markers of the upper layer neatly cut out to reveal a second, luminous layer underneath. The multi-layered structure creates a fascinating three-dimensional effect and at the same time provides strong luminosity for good readability in every weather as well as in the dark. The newly designed hour hand is also luminous and reminiscent of the dials of earlier measuring instruments, a typical MeisterSinger trait.
Case
The surfaces of the 40-mm case are partly polished and partly brushed, giving its body a particularly elegant and lively appearance. The integrated steel bracelet, which flows seamlessly into the case and also features both polished and brushed surfaces, offers not only stability but also a maximum of wearing comfort. The likewise redesigned, non-slip, easy-to-use crown bears the fermata symbol from the MeisterSinger logo, which denotes the ‘rest’ mark in musical notation. With water resistance of up to 10 bar, the Kaenos is well protected in any everyday situation.
Movement
The Kaenos Open Date is driven by the Swiss-made Sellita SW200. At midnight, the date switches to the next day at lightning speed. The rotor provides the watch with a power reserve of 38 hours.
Features
The Kaenos was developed completely from scratch. The name “Kaenos” is derived from the Greek word “kainos”, which means “new” or “fresh”, and refers to the Cenozoic era – an epoch of renewal in the Earth’s history. The name is more than appropriate, considering the Kaenos marks a fresh new start for MeisterSinger and stands for exciting further development. The new product family is divided into two lines: the Kaenos with a large date at 6 o’clock and the Kaenos Open Date with an open date disk on which the date can be read below the 12 o’clock position. The Kaenos received the prestigious iF Design Award 2025 for its outstanding design.
Reading a single-hand watch
Each line in the outer circle of MeisterSinger’s single-hand watches stands for exactly 5 minutes. The hand is therefore both an hour hand and a minute hand. For example, if the hand points to the fifth stroke after ten, the time is 10:25.
The line hierarchy typical of MeisterSinger single-hand watches additionally divides the time display into half and quarter hours, thus making it easier to read off the time accurately.
