    Brand vibe

    BOTTA Design, founded in 1986 by Klaus Botta near Frankfurt, pioneered the modern single-hand wristwatch and still assembles and hand-regulates every watch in-house in Germany. The catalog — UNO, TRES 24, CLAVIUS, MONDO, NOVA — pairs Bauhaus-descended industrial design with Swiss movements from Sellita, ETA and Ronda, prioritizing legibility and intuitive time perception over ornament. Sales are direct from the brand's own storefront, shipping worldwide from Germany.

    Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
