Nomos Glashütte is a German luxury watch brand founded in 1990 by Roland Schwertner. The company is based in the town of Glashütte, known for its rich watchmaking heritage. It marked a period of renewal for the watchmaking industry in Germany following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
From its inception, Nomos drew inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, which championed minimalism and functionality. The brand launched its first iconic model in 1992, the Tangente, which stands out for its clean design and readability. Its other collections follow the same principles of simplicity and elegance by incorporating Bauhaus aesthetic elements.
Nomos reached a major milestone in 2005 with the launch of its first automatic movement, the Alpha caliber. This achievement marked the beginning of the company’s technical independence, allowing it to reduce its reliance on external suppliers. Other innovations were introduced to the market, such as the Swing System—an in-house escapement launched in 2014—further solidifying its position as an independent watch manufacturer. Over the years, Nomos has expanded its lineup with diverse collections such as Metro, Club, and Zürich, which quickly became iconic models for the brand. The brand is also renowned for its ultra-thin movements, such as the DUW 3001, which is only 3.2 mm thick. Today, Nomos is celebrated for its excellence in watchmaking, having won more than 160 design awards, including the German Design Award, the Red Dot Design Award, and the Goldene Unruh. The brand embodies a successful fusion of German watchmaking tradition and modern innovation, while maintaining a commitment to minimalist design and artisanal quality.
Nomos watches: a marriage of craftsmanship and innovation
Nomos has won over the public with its exceptional watches that combine minimalist forms with high precision. Celebrities such as actor Roger Moore and former U.S. President Bill Clinton trust in the quality of its timepieces. The brand offers several iconic models that embody its spirit, starting with the iconic Tangente. This round watch with clean lines, which has won numerous awards, is the very essence of modern elegance. Equipped with the latest-generation neomatik caliber, it offers exceptional chronometric precision and a distinctive ring date, as seen on the neomatik DUW 6101.
Another must-have collection, the Orion is synonymous with understated sophistication. It is characterized by elegant curves, clean dials, and subtle hour markers that lend it timeless refinement. The DUW 3001 automatic movement powering the watch delivers exceptional chronometric precision while preserving the characteristic slim profile of hand-wound watches.
The Metro, launched in 2014, also exemplifies the brand’s watchmaking excellence. Seamlessly blending modern and traditional elements, this watch draws inspiration from measuring instruments with its contemporary design. The domed sapphire crystal, the slender Nomos movement, and unique details such as the knurled crown and metal lugs give the Metro a distinctive profile that stands out from the crowd.
The Club collection, launched in 2007, meets the needs of athletes. It stands out for its modern design while retaining the elegance typical of Nomos watches. With its stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, the Club watch offers unbeatable durability and impeccable timekeeping precision.
The Tetra collection stands out for its square case shape, giving the watches a contemporary and bold look while staying true to Bauhaus principles. The Tetra’s slim profile is made possible by an ingenious design. The watch features delicate metal links that create an optical illusion, visually reducing the size of the strap and accentuating the watch’s elegance.
