Extraordinary watches

BOTTA - experience time instead of just measuring it
Many watches tell you the time. Ours show where you are in the day. BOTTA watches are for people who don't perceive time as a rhythm, but as a space for focus, calm, and conscious living.
Those who choose BOTTA aren't looking for just an accessory—they're looking for a tool for inner clarity. Our watches reduce things to the essentials: a single hand, a clear scale, a design that offers orientation instead of sensory overload.
I'm Klaus Botta—physicist, designer, and the developer of the modern single-hand watch. For over 30 years, I've been working to make time understandable and tangible—with watches that combine technical precision with design clarity.
BOTTA watches are fundamentally different from classic wristwatches: no distractions, no unnecessary accessories – but a sovereign relationship with time. Our wristwatches and wall clocks are aimed at people who live consciously, make thoughtful decisions, and combine beauty with meaning.
If you want to not only measure time but understand it – discover BOTTA.
Experience how a watch can change your personal perspective on time.


Extraordinary wristwatches for extraordinary people
Our brand slogan gets to the point. BOTTA stands for high-quality wristwatches beyond the mainstream. Already at first glance you can see the independence and exceptionality of our watch concepts. At second glance, the surprising and convincing logic that creates the special charm of this German watch brand from Königstein im Taunus becomes apparent.
BOTTA - Design by the grandchildren of the Bauhaus
Genetic kinship instead of a visual backdrop
The values of the BAUHAUS are still as relevant today as they were when the famous design school was active. The aesthetics, on the other hand, have evolved over the past 100 years. With these watches, BOTTA transfers the BAUHAUS philosophy to the present day in terms of design. Discover genuine originals with unique display concepts, advanced in design and technology.
