When the Nuremberg smith Peter Henlein starting selling the first portable clockwork watches almost five hundred years ago, they were a sensation, even if they left something to be desired in terms of timekeeping accuracy. The key factor was the accuracy of the movements. Watchmakers have been searching ever since for a way to make the oscillating element, which sets the pace of any clock, tick with greater regularity. The precision of watches continually improved. As the equilibrium and balance within watches increased, the pace and unevenness of life as a whole became much greater. While it was sufficient in Peter Henlein's day to make an appointment for sometime in the morning or evening, now even two minutes’ delay for a train is immediately apparent to all. By means of his MeisterSinger watches, the designer and founder of the firm seeks to redeem this development in some way by conveying the inner constancy of clockwork so that it is also apparent in the outside world.
