NOVA Quartz with 40 mm titanium case: the one-hand watch “for advanced users”. Are you familiar with the UNO principle that Klaus Botta developed back in 1986? The NOVA takes the pared-down approach to displaying the time one step further: the dial does without any subdivisions whatsoever between the twelve-hour lines. The space between two hour lines can be seen and immediately understood as a “timeframe”.
What is behind the NOVA concept? How do you read it? For whom or what situation is the Nova the right watch?
In this entertaining video with Mario Lenke, you will learn all about the background and the development of the "one-hand watch for advanced users".
In an entertaining third of an hour, the video provides a different view of time and its different meanings in our lives, depending on our perspective.
The NOVA Quartz 40 mm is the smaller, more compact and more delicate version of the NOVA. With a total weight of just 32 grams, it is unbelievably light but highly robust nonetheless. When wearing this watch from BOTTA design, which at just 6.6 mm is extremely flat yet amazingly lightweight, it is hardly noticeable on the wrist.
This was achieved not only thanks to an ingenious case geometry but also through the use of high-tech titanium. This material combines extreme light weight with very high durability.
The NOVA Quartz is synonymous with maximum reduction – in terms not only of its display, but also its slim dimensions and weight.
With its unconventional display principle, the NOVA Quartz one-hand watch is certainly not the ideal watch for precision fanatics and those who like to keep track of every second. However, the NOVA Quartz will thus suit you all the better if you are ready to embrace a more expansive attitude to time.
Thanks to its sleek appearance, the NOVA Quartz from BOTTA design is the ideal watch for anyone with a medium to slim wrist. Because the strap lugs are positioned underneath the case, it is as comfortable to wear as watches of much smaller diameter. You will have to decide for yourself whether the NOVA with its minimalist display is in fact the perfect one-hand watch. What is certainly the case is that it makes a clear statement in favor of a more relaxed approach to time.
The NOVA Quartz 40 mm one-hand watch from BOTTA Design is driven by a Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement. Unlike the much cheaper “Swiss-parts” movements, the components in this movement are manufactured and assembled entirely in Switzerland.
The original Ronda movement ensures that the NOVA Quartz will run smoothly and precisely for many years, which reflects the Botta principle of technical and design durability in its German-made watches.
No accessory influences the style of a watch as significantly as its strap. Whether elegant Milanese strap, sporty rubber strap or classic leather strap – we have the same high standards of design and quality for all our straps as for our watches themselves.
