Meistersinger Kaenos And Kaenos Open Date: A Fresh Take On Sport Watches
With Watches and Wonders Geneva just around the corner, Meistersinger is making waves with the introduction of its latest sports watch, the Kaenos. Known for its distinctive one-hand timepieces, the German watch brand is expanding its offering with a model that integrates a date complication. The new release comes in two variations: the Kaenos, featuring a conventional date window at 6 o’clock, and the Kaenos Open Date, which boasts a fully exposed rotating date disc that advances at midnight, aligning the numeral at 12 o’clock under a red arrow.
The Meistersinger Kaenos collection showcases a 40mm stainless steel case with a brushed finish on its surfaces and polished accents on the bezel and bevels. Protected by a sapphire crystal, the watch also includes an open case back secured by four screws and offers 100 meters of water resistance. A redesigned crown featuring the brand’s logo adds to the watch’s refined aesthetics.
A striking sandwich-style dial enhances the watch’s appeal, with luminescent material applied to the lower layer, allowing the Arabic numerals and indexes to glow green through the upper cut-outs. The single, brushed center hand stays true to Meistersinger’s signature design language. While the Kaenos features a round date window at the 6 o’clock position, the Kaenos Open Date differentiates itself with a unique rotating date disc positioned centrally. The brand’s name sits at 12 o’clock, with “Kaenos” displayed at 6 o’clock for balance. Each model is available in four dial colors: ice blue, petroleum blue, light gray with a sunray finish, and a matte black variant.
Powering these timepieces are Swiss automatic movements, with the Kaenos housing the Sellita SW400 and the Kaenos Open Date utilizing the Sellita SW200. Both movements operate at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and deliver a power reserve of up to 38 hours.
Completing the timepieces is an integrated stainless steel bracelet with H-shaped links, polished rectangular center links, and a folding clasp. The Kaenos and Kaenos Open Date are set for release on April 1st, priced at €2,650 and €2,950, respectively.
In addition to the core collection, Meistersinger is unveiling two exclusive limited-edition models in collaboration with renowned designer Alain Silberstein. Limited to just 225 pieces each, these special editions incorporate Silberstein’s signature geometric shapes and bold colors while maintaining the fundamental characteristics of the original models. The limited editions are priced at €4,100 for the Kaenos and €4,400 for the Kaenos Open Date.
As anticipation builds for Watches and Wonders Geneva, Meistersinger’s latest launch is poised to attract enthusiasts seeking a blend of sportiness, elegance, and distinctive design.
