Botta Design was founded by German designer "Klaus Botta" , who has already received over 20 international design awards. Each model has its own design concept, which gives it a unique character and independence.
Extremely light, extremely flat.

Each Botta Design watch has a lightweight and extremely flat case, which makes the watch much more comfortable to wear. For example, the entire HELIOS-PLUS (Picture)watch weighs a mere 28 g - despite offering maximum quality and durability. The visible part of the HELIOS-PLUS case is exactly the same height as a one euro coin, 2.4 mm.
A concentration on the bare essentials.

"Things become clearer and easier to comprehend when they are stripped down to the bare essentials." True to this philosophy, the one-hand watches make do with only a specially configured hour hand.Picture: SOLUS

BRAND

Botta Design, recipient of over 20 major design awards, both in Germany and internationally, has been designing and creating wristwatches since 1986. One thing that all Botta Design watches have in common is a bold and unequivocal design statement: all models are characterized by clarity, the absence of ambiguity, simplicity and uncompromising functionality. The result is always a truly extraordinary wristwatch.

With their minimalistic appearance, watches from Botta Design are an expression of contemporary style, achieved through a concentration on the bare essentials. The typically German aesthetic is also articulated in the choice of materials and the precision of the workmanship. Unlike many other watches, Botta Design deliberately rejects faddish attributes and formalistic decoration, instead producing small quantities of definitively beautiful, classic timepieces with timeless designs.

RUFUS'S COMMENT

Klaus Botta is very well regarded in both the watch industry and the design industry. Translating the Bauhaus design philosophy into horological terms, Botta is a champion of minimalism, even among the few German watch manufacturers that espouse the notion of keeping things simple. Perhaps that is why he has won more international design awards than any of the others.

Although his line of watches extends into a wide range of territories, including 24-hour watches, one-hand watches, etc., there are certain predictable aspects of his designs. Numeric indices (the numerals you find on a watch) are small and tastefully rendered. The crown is often smaller than usual, and he typically uses a movement from the Ronda Company of Switzerland. The lugs of the watch, to which the strap is attached, are usually tucked out of the way neatly. Klaus Botta also likes to use completely flat sapphire glass for the watch crystal. And his designs often feature titanium.

Botta Design has always been our most popular watch brand, and we encourage you to look through our collection of fine German-made watches from this innovative designer.
