I am excited to write about the Uno. This is precisely the sort of thing I like to see from watchmakers.

Uno is manufactured by the German watchmakers, Botta. I have never owned any of their watches, but that will change.

I am much taken by the concept of using a single hand to tell the time. The Uno does it superbly, and what I most like about it, is that it does it without any fuss whatsoever. No bells and whistles, no loud colours, or anything like that. Well, I suppose, if the watchmaker has deemed that only one hand is sufficient to tell the time, he is hardly likely to go crazy with all sorts of props, is he?

This watch doesn’t cost the earth; you can get it for around $1,000.

Some specs: Automatic ETA caliber 2824 (there’s also a quartz variant, but let that pass). Stainless steel case. Water resistant to 50m.
