Back to Basics with CERES: A Revolutionary Single-Handed Watch

The “revolution” promoted by the new wristwatch from Canada upstart CERES is primarily in reference to the watch’s solitary hand. Analogue timepieces normally incorporate two hands on the watch-face and CERES is doubling down on the minimalist approach by reducing the number of hands to one (minimalism perhaps being the one arena where to “double down” means to take away). Are they the first to do such a thing? Probably not. Hence, “revolutionary” might be just a tad of an overstatement. Still, it’s a nice looking no-frills timepiece that harkens back to an era where a sharp and dependable watch could surely make the man.

CERES likes to keep things clean and simple and so their product has an overt everything-that-meets-the-eye quality to it. There’s no underlying digital gimmickry at play, just good old minute and hour markers and a solitary hand revolving twice daily. The watch uses stainless steel for the case, a brass dial, Miyota 2035 Quartz movement, and a top-grain 4mm leather strap to reinforce a message of elegant straightforwardness.

CERES is currently on Kickstarter and about halfway to their goal. Included on the page is a chart detailing how to use a single-handed watch, but let’s be honest if you need a chart to figure it out you’re probably not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Nevertheless, it is a nice looking watch so perhaps when paired with good looks it can make up for your complete lack of common sense. However, if you don’t have good looks and you also needed a chart to figure out how an analogue watch works, there’s really just no hope for you and no accessory is going to change that.
