Slow watches, or a 24 hour one handed or single handed watch as they are also referred to, will get you looking at time in a whole new way, and best of all there are four Slow watch ranges to choose from.
With modern living we are usually busy rushing about, having to be someplace or another, but do you really need to know what the exact time is at that exact second?
That’s the whole concept of the Slow watch world. The single handed or one handed dial face doesn’t stop at 12, it shows you the whole 24 hours at a glance. The hour segments are clearly displayed with marked increments in between.
So when you want to know what time it is, at a glance you can see what the time is to within a couple of minutes or so, which is all we really need to know anyway, isn’t it?
Slow watches are made in Switzerland the home of watch making. The four Slow watch ranges are unisex so if you see one you like then just go for it, and begin taking time the Slow way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slow watch?
A slow watch is a watch with a big difference, the big difference being that it only has one dial hand and the dial face is numbered from 0 to 23.
The single hand rotates around the watch dial face once every 24 hours. The current time information is displayed, via the increment sections on the dial face. So you are getting an idea of the current time to within a couple of minutes.
That’s the whole point of the Slow watch, do you really need to know the exact time, all the time, or will a minute or two either way really make a big difference to your day?
