I have a Meistersinger, black face with a single white hand. Every tick on the dial is 5 minutes, so I can get pretty close if it really matters exactly what time it is. I like the single-hand watch. Very simple concept. They even make a single-hand watch with a 6-hour rotation -- the 12 hour convention is just that, there's no reason you can't live with 6. It's interesting anyhow. Automatic winding.
I got the idea because the old cathedral in the town in Germany where I studied for a year just had a single hand on the clock. It was the late middle ages, WHO CARES what time it is? My life requires a bit more precision than that, but it's true that there are precise clocks all around me all day, there's no reason my watch needs to be super precise.
