We live in a time of increasing complexity – the consequence of which is growing uncertainty and stress. A reduction in complexity and a focus on the bare essentials gives rise to a sense of security and calm. Coupled with the highly functional orientation of the products´ stylistic vocabulary, this embodies the philosophy of Botta-Design, a philosophy which is particularly noticeable in our one-hand watches. Things become clearer and easier to comprehend when they are stripped down to the bare essentials. True to this philosophy, Klaus Botta designed his first one-hand watch in 1985 – the UNO. The second watch built in line with this design principle followed in 2007 – the SOLUS. Both models feature only one hand, the hour hand – which just like in a conventional watch, completes one full rotation every 12 hours. Thanks to the reduced form of time display, one-hand watches provide an approximate idea of the time at a glance. If a more accurate reading is needed, the precise scale divisions in Botta-Design one-hand watches can be used to tell the time to at least the nearest five minutes. The strength of this display principle, however, lies without doubt in day-to-day timekeeping, as it allows the time of day to be checked quickly and easily. With Botta-Design one-hand watches, you can tell the time at a glance.
