The UNO LUMEN White shows how naturally time can be understood when its display is reduced to the essentials. A distinctive hand, prominent hour markers and fine quarter-hour markings create a clear sense of order against the white background. The bright surface lends the design a feeling of lightness, allowing the eye to effortlessly grasp the position of the hand.

In the dark, its appearance transforms: the entire dial glows a soft light blue, making the hand clearly visible. This preserves the generous sense of clarity even at night, while creating an atmosphere all its own. The UNO LUMEN White combines the familiarity of a classic white UNO with a fascinating luminous display – open, calm and effortlessly relaxed.

New Luxury – the conversation continues

In the second part of their conversation, Bernhard Strohm and Klaus Botta continue to explore their thoughts on a changing understanding of luxury.

They talk about watches, design and personal values – and why true luxury today is becoming less about what others see in something and much more about what it means to us personally.

Watch part 2 of the conversation now.

Does luxury have to be visible, expensive and instantly recognizable – or does its value today lie more in individuality, attitude and personal meaning?

In conversation with Bernhard Strohm, Klaus Botta discusses how our understanding of luxury has changed: from status symbol to personal story, from logo to meaning, and from showing to consciously choosing.

An insightful conversation about watches, design and the question of why “New Luxury” often begins precisely where traditional luxury ends.

The UNO Lumen Black captivates with exceptional clarity. Its velvety anthracite dial, eleven precisely defined hour markers, distinctive 12 o’clock dot and luminous hand transform the passage of time into a striking, intuitive composition.

Its almost pictographic display creates a remarkable sense of calm and orientation. The UNO Lumen Black thus expresses the BOTTA philosophy in its purest form: distinctive through clarity, logic and uncompromising design.

The UNO 24 wall clock in the F.A.Z. Edition combines the 24-hour principle with an exceptional interplay of materials. The bright daytime half, crafted from precisely machined aluminium, meets a night-time half made from genuine mica schist, whose natural structure gives the dial a distinctive sense of depth.

The course of an entire day becomes visible at a glance – clear, calm and consistently designed.

Since 1986, the UNO has stood for a new, more relaxed perspective on time. With the UNO Edition 40, four decades of design experience come together in a new generation: a Tri-Titan case, domed sapphire crystal and Swiss-made movements meet an even more refined one-hand scale.

Three distinctive colours give each version its own character – Mango Yellow, Cornflower Blue and Titanium Grey. An anniversary edition that carries the idea of the UNO forward with uncompromising consistency: greater clarity, greater calm and a different perspective on time.
