INTRODUCING THE MEISTERSINGER ARCHAO

Housed in its imposing 43-mm case, the Archao is always guaranteed to make a memorable impression. The large cylindrical case features an elegant matt black coating. The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating makes this watch particularly hard-wearing and rugged. 

The finely grained structure of the dark dials in black, red, or blue creates a stunning contrast to the bold graphic elements of the dial. The generously proportioned half-hour and quarter-hour markers are presented in crisp white, as are the numerals and hour indices, while the five-minute markings appear in light grey, intentionally fading into the background.

Throughout the day, the Archao absorbs light, only to release it at night in a display of maximum luminosity. The prominent hour markers, the double-digit numerals, and the distinctive, needle-shaped hand are crafted as white LumiBlocks, which store light like a battery during the day to unleash their enduring brightness after dark. The result is a picture-perfect timepiece, by day and by night.

The completely redesigned single hand is conceived as a formally “divided” element: the triangular tip at the front continues down into the elongated overhang at the back, interrupted only at the centre. Its distinctive width is hollowed out from within – a subtle, yet clear-cut detail that lends the Archao added depth and impressively enhances its presence in the dark.
