Horological Meandering

Nomos, known for its uber-clean designs, just announced its first complicated models, the Zurich Weltzeit and Tangomat GMT, powered by a new calibre xi designed by Mirko Heyne of Lang & Heyne who joined Nomos some years ago. Several versions have been mad...  

the simplicity of the watches dial requires a hat tipping , one of the tasks which is found almost in every GMT watch got solved by NOMOS, the busy looking dial is simply not here, all the info is on the dial, BUT no busy look or feeling i generated.... i... 

these new models have Nomos DNA running all the way through them with a pretty clever complication underneath. i can see NOMOS getting bigger and bigger as the years progress which i'm all in favour of. Graham

love the lugs and the numerals of this model. This is a nice development in the series. Really wonderful watch that Tangomat GMT 9. And SO Nomos! GEO

I live near an AD and will buy one of these watches when released. They can count my sale right now. I have been wanting a simple legible GMT or worldtimer, and I have also been trying to find an excuse to buy a Nomos. Most of all, I look forward to a bri... 

really like their clean cut designs with little excesses.

When you push the button to "jump" an indicator, which indicator jumps? Is it the hour hand on the main dial? To me, that must be the case for the watch to qualify as a travel watch.

along with the city or GMT disc, while the 24 hour indicator remains static, when the button is pressed. - SJX

I wonder whether any of the models will involve hands that glow in the dark. Admittedly there would be a risk of compromising the look, but now that black Superluminova seems to be available, they may have some options that would not alter the watch's day... 

aside from some limited editions, are the Club models. Cool looking and slightly reminiscent of Rolex Bubbleback. - SJX...  

...SJX, I am pretty sure that the Tangente Sport line from Nomos, which encompasses several of the handwinding movements, has luminescent hands and dots at the hour markers. Improved water resistance, too. Tom

The Tangente Sport tototally slipped my mind. I remember the Club well because I almost purchased one recently. - SJX

I'm really excited about this brand and looking forward to see even more complicated mechanisms, implemented to their beautiful minimalistic design. A fresh breath of aesthetics for sure. regards, Mateusz

I have a hard time warming up to these, probably because I am so used to the minimal Bauhaus dial of the Tangomat. This feels already like "too much" for that design aesthetic for me. Best Andreas

thanks JX

I'm happy to see new complications from Nomos but I think that this "Bauhaus" style doesn't work very well with them. Nomos needs to redefine its aesthetical style in my point of view. Thanks SJX for the news. Fr.Xavier

Looks most like it belongs in the line started with the Tangente. Surely a version with date is already in the pipeline? D.

... hope to see them in flesh soon. stefan

...but this version from Nomos is fairly clean and attractive. Honestly, I much prefer their simpler watches. My favorite remains the Nomas Club non-date. Cheers, Daos
