On The Wrist KEN NICHOLS is a writer and photographer living in the South with his wife, three girls, vintage Airstream and humble watch collection. A CLOSER LOOK MEISTERSINGER SALTHORA META X BY KEN NICHOLS Images courtesy Ken Nichols T he Salthora Meta X is a single-hand jump hour by MeisterSinger that lulls you into a restful view of time by removing the hour hand from its dial and coercing you to focus one hour at a time. When it’s ready for the next hour, it snaps the hour digit into view at 12-o’clock like a sailor salutes a captain. And like any sailor, this watch is water-ready.
