Translated from German
I have been wearing the UNO 24 Your Time for several weeks now and can, in all good conscience, make a statement.
For forty years, I looked at my watch. Now I read it.
All my life, I have managed time — appointments, responsibility for hundreds of people, and there was always room for just a little more. Then came a moment that made me reassess everything. I wanted a watch that does not drive me, but accompanies me. The Botta does exactly that. It shows me the day — but it does not rush me through it.
Anyone who has spent forty years going full throttle learns a certain way of looking at a watch: controlling, measuring, always searching for the next bottleneck. Time was never scarce for me — but it was always under supervision.
That has changed. Not gradually, but through a turning point that made me rethink how I want to use the time I have left. I wanted a symbol for this attitude. Something I see every day and that reminds me daily of who I now want to be.
The Botta is that watch.
Not because it slows me down — that would be too romantic. But because it forces me to pause for a brief moment before I read the time. The single hand, circling the entire day, changes the way you look at it: It shows position, not precision. The upper half of the dial — the working day — has quarter-hour markers. Orientation without being driven. The lower half, evening and night, only hours. As if the watch understood that a different quality of time begins there.
I am asked about this watch incredibly often. What fascinates me is this: I never sense envy — I sense curiosity. The Botta is striking without showing off. It has attitude without imposing a message. And that is exactly what I am currently looking for myself: a sense of calm that cannot be bought, but that one may wear.
Thank you and kind regards from a very satisfied customer
