PANTHERO JUMPING HOUR – THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE 2026 WATCH YEAR – CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF MEISTERSINGER
The newly developed 40.5 mm case immediately captivates with its refined elegance. From the front, it becomes clear: the case rim is extremely slim, serving only as the stage curtain for the dial's magnificent architecture. The case also reveals a strikingly individual character in the refined finishing of its side flanks and in the exclusive, spiral-shaped crown. The interplay of polished and brushed surfaces creates a particularly harmonious overall impression. And, of course, a signature MeisterSinger feature is also present here: the subtly domed sapphire crystal glass on the front and the exhibition case back, which invites you to admire the movement going about its high-precision work.
A striking new face of time:
At its core, the Panthero Jumping Hour remains unmistakably MeisterSinger. It presents the time in a minimalist, tranquil and entirely intuitive manner – and yet its entire design has been thoughtfully reimagined. The hour appears in a perfectly round window, jumping forward with exact precision, hour after hour. The minutes are indicated by a finely sculpted hand that does not originate from the centre, but instead traces its path across the likewise off-centre, superimposed minute ring. This reimagined geometry lends the dial a remarkable sense of depth, dynamic tension, and its own distinctive sense of order.
A sun that reveals time:
The harmonious impression is enhanced by a circular element that turns with every passing second, formed from the shape of the fermata – the MeisterSinger logo – and evocative of a radiant sun. The new MeisterSinger sun wheel measures nothing, it counts nothing – and yet it makes the continuous flow of time visible, quietly revealing that the movement within is tirelessly at work. A subtle, almost meditative impulse that infuses the watch with life and consciously introduces a new emphasis within the MeisterSinger universe.

Inside the Panthero Jumping Hour, the MS-JH-01 based on the proven Sellita SW300 is at work, refined by a delicately engineered module designed to drive the characteristic jumping hour display. The intricate workings of the movement are revealed to the eye through the exhibition glass back. The rotor’s silhouette is inspired by the outline of three interlocking fermatas. The logo and the central ring encircling the rotor bearing are designed in sophisticated anthracite.
The debut: a collector’s edition with refined guilloché detailing:
The new product family makes its debut with a strictly limited guilloché edition, meticulously crafted in just 25 pieces – one for each remarkable year in MeisterSinger’s history. The silver dial is crafted entirely by hand on a historical, manually operated guilloché machine. Line by line, the surface of the dial is cut by hand with the utmost concentration – a process that calls for experience, calmness, and absolute precision, making every dial a truly unique piece.
