The Edition Johann Strauss Neo features an extraordinary dial design, a delicate, wave-like surface structure is reminiscent of the course of the Danube – a visual echo of Strauss’ most famous composition. Above the 6 o’clock position is a silver-colored portrait of Johann Strauss, discreetly integrated but clearly recognizable. The numerals, also in silver, are meticulously applied and add another structural layer to the design of the dial.
With a diameter of 36mm, a slim case edge, and domed sapphire glass, the case of the Neo looks like a design from the 1960s. The Neo is water-resistant up to 5 bar, the case back is closed. The back of the case features an elaborate, delicate engraving of Strauss’ likeness, along with his flowing signature and the edition number.
The Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement, which is specially modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand watches, quietly ticks inside the Neo Edition. The rotor provides the watch with a power reserve of 38 hours.
Johann Strauss (1825–1899) was an exceptional musical talent. As a composer, conductor, and celebrated virtuoso, he shaped the cultural identity of the 19th century far beyond the Austrian city of Vienna. No other name is as closely associated with the waltz as his – and hardly any other work symbolizes Austrian musical tradition as much as The Blue Danube. To mark his 200th birthday in 2025, MeisterSinger is dedicating not just one, but two exclusive, strictly limited edition watches to the Waltz King. The Johann Strauss Neo Edition is limited to 75 pieces. MeisterSinger has spared no expense in creating the packaging of each of these unique watches, which feature a portrait of Johann Strauss and an embossed design.
