NEW AND SMALLER

Delicate series 33

Each person is, in fact, built differently. Since there really are women who wear size zero, since some are tall while others are short and some are full-bodied while others are thin, NOMOS now expands its collection in agreement with the varying sizes of wrists. 

Therefore, you can now get these watches in somewhat smaller “33” format and in different colors. And to make them a bit more visually delicate, these new models are attached to straps made of suede.

Available from June onwards.

THE NOMOS ENTERPRISE

From the middle of nowhere

In the capital, “the middle of nowhere” means a place with three or four bars but no hotel, a town that shuts down long before sundown. Glashütte is not exactly the middle of everything. But it is the Mecca of precision watchmaking not only for Germany and Europe, but for the whole world. As a designation for the origin of watches, the town’s name is a protected trademark, like “Parma” with ham or “Champagne”, a label that, in Europe, means the bottle is more than just “sparkling wine”. The manufactories that work here contribute to this aura—and profit from it.

NOMOS Glashütte is important for ensuring that this does not change and that Glashütte remains a promise of quality in the world of fine timepieces—and the pride of the watchmakers who carry out their work here, often in the fifth or sixth generation.

The standards for Glashütte watches are extremely rigorous. A watch may not be sold as a “Glashütte watch” unless at least 50 percent of its caliber’s production took place in Glashütte: if a manufacturer buys 100 euros worth of parts elsewhere, then he must carry out at least 100 euros worth of work in Glashütte. Manufactories located here are permitted to purchase individual parts (like watchbands, clasps, and jewels) from suppliers outside of Glashütte. After all, today no one can produce all the materials themselves. But they should produce the caliber themselves.

NOMOS movements are all developed and built in Glashütte, and depending on the caliber the trademark’s watchmakers produce up to 95 percent of the value on site.This means: jobs for watchmakers, engineers, and toolmakers. The best watches for those who wear them. And that the name of this place in the middle of nowhere lastingly remains a synonym for first-class craftsmanship.

NEW!

NOMOS polyglot 

For people who think outside the box—and who like complicated watches, if they are beautifully simple: Tangomat GMT and Zürich Weltzeit have arrived!

All the time in the world—times two: the NOMOS Glashütte models Tangomat and Zürich are now available with a second time zone. Both are typically NOMOS: watchmaker Mirko Heyne (34), who was the designer of the original NOMOS automatic caliber, made things a bit more complicated for himself with the xi movement—just to make it beautifully simple for those who ultimately wear the watch.
