Nomos Glashütte

NOMOS Ludwig

NOMOS Glashutte watches are made in Glashütte, Saxony, Germany. And there are standards for Glashütte watches.

"A watch may not be sold as a “Glashütte watch” unless at least 50% 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. Glashutte is home to four important watch companies. The other three are: A. Lange & SohneGlashutte Original and Muhle."

Looking extraordinarily simple and beautifully naked. We were drawn to the elegance of NOMOS's sleek, timeless design. Notice also the tempered blue steel hands.

The 35mm dia. Lidwig runs on a manufactory caliber with manually wound movement that's capable of 42 hours power reserve; and sits coolly on my small wrist.

What does NOMOS means?
In Greek, it's "Law" and "Order". I like that.
