    WOW!

    Just got a Meistersinger single handed watch in! SO COOL!!!
    Box and Papers.
    AS new condition



    Get the checkbook ready!

    Limited edition of 333 pieces -
    • Case diameter (mm): 43.0

    How to tell time with a MeisterSinger single-hand watch.

    The twelve-hour dial is divided by 144 markers. Each marker represents 5 minutes. It is 10 past 10 on the watch shown. The 15-minute, 30-minute and the hour marker are increasingly bolder and in combination with the distinctive pointed hand make it easy to read the time. You will note that, this works perfectly well in our everyday life. We learn how to be more relaxed in the handling of time.

    History

    MeisterSinger combines traditional values with sophisticated design, highlighting the very origins of the watchmaker’s craft. After all, timekeeping began with a single hand – sundials, the first church steeple clocks, the old Breguet subscription watches. For the people in the late 17th century, a second hand must have seemed as strange as a single one is to us now.

    For it was in this period that pocket watches were first sold in significant numbers. At first, they had only single hour, or 15-minutes increments at best which was more than enough in a pre-industrial age.

    Chris,

    That looks like a perfect Sea Dweller.
    You don't happen to have a nice Explorer II on hand, do you?
    I've always wanted one of those.
    One with a white watch face is best but a black faced one would do.

    I don't have an Explorer II right now. Nothing in the immediate works (trade-in).

    The dweller is like new and priced right. It is a discontinued model which is always a plus.

    Tissot Titanium T-Touch with the MOP dial

    Not often seen

    List is $895

    No box but I have the manual

    $399

    The photo below is the same model but not the actual watch.
    I will post pics later

    Polished solid Titanium case and bracelet.
    Mother of Pearl dial with black hands and white markers.
    Luminous hands and markers.
    Rotating bezel.
    Pressing the center button activates the glass. Touching the corresponding label of the desired function will activate it. The glass will be deactivated after 30 seconds of inactivity.
    Chronograph Function - Chrono Function with split time capability.
    Barometer Function - The hands on the watch will superimpose to indicate the variance in the atmospheric pressure. The T-Touch measures these variations to indicate the meteorological trend. When the atmospheric pressure rises, the skies clear. The hands will move toward the right. When the atmospheric pressure decreases, it becomes cloudy. The hands will move toward the left. The digital display will give the absolute pressure in hectoPascal.
    Altimeter Function - When the altimeter function is activated, the watch is turned into a barometric altimeter and displays the altitude in relation to average sea level. The T-Touch Multi-function can be set to display the altitude in meters or feet.
    Thermometer Function - The T-Touch is able to display the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit while in the thermometer mode. For the most accurate temperature measurements, the watch should be removed from the wrist for at least 15 minutes so that body temperature does not effect the reading.
    Compass Function - While in the compass mode, the T-Touch with the minute hand indicates the geographical North Pole taking into consideration the magnetic deviation. The T-Touch Multi-function will indicate the degree of magnetic deviation between the geographic and magnetic North Pole on the digital display.
    Alarm Function - 24 hour alarm function with acoustic alarm.
    Precise Swiss Quartz movement.
    Scratch resistant Sapphire crystal.
    Push-button deployment clasp.
    Water resistant to 30m.
    Case measures 42mm diameter by 13mm thick.

    Junkers inventory is live on our website and so is the Pre-owned section.

    It's current as of today.

    The only brand that is not updated is Nixon, they leave the stores faster than we can get them in. And the inventory on those change daily
