thanks FX I understand that it might
not be appealing to everyone but in its defense this is pretty much the same as the Metro 38 Datum without the date so not really a loss of charm caused by the special edition (that eliminated the date and added the Chronometer certification).
I really like it as it has a lot of character and -- in my opinion -- is a very honest watch, especially on the pricing!

NOMOS Glashütte Metro Chronometer Hodinkee
Dear All, happy to share the first photos and impressions of the NOMOS Glashütte Metro Chronometer for Hodinkee. The watch represents a lot of value: in house movement (alpha) a very pure dial layout (without date and power reserve) 38.5mm (and just 7.75m...
I love the Zenith but I'm less seduced by this one...
The Metro loses a part of its charm here in my point of view. Just my own feeling but the successful design was based on the perfect integration of the extra displays which reinforced the "metro map" feeling. Here too much purety kills the concept. Thanks...

I personally believe this watch is a must have for....
a thinking collector. It fills the gap between an ETA watch and an expensive top of the line piece. This one has very nice lugs and I love the strap, The dial is definitely not a boring one. Thank you for sharing christianch. Wear it in good health. Best ...
you are welcome Edward..
I think it is a very interesting watch for the price point. It shows that an in-house movement and chronometer certification doesn't necessary command some of the prices going around nowadays Of course it cannot be compared to other top of the line pieces...
I agree....
I think they should scrap the COSC all together, (it costs about $ 750.00 for each watch) and let the manufactures do their own parameters setting. Best Edward
Pretty cool piece
Not exactly my cup of tea but I can totally understand the excellent value for money this represents. Wear in good health. Good catch
thanks bounce..
the design is certainly something different the chronometer bit got me sold
Congratulations, very nice watch.
That is what it is, nothing more, nothing less, and I like it. After reading Hodinkee review I was going to buy it, but it was sold out very fast. When the Metro Gangreserve was launched in 2014, I thought it was a very nice watch, I loved the design, so ...
thank you, a great watch and you won't be disappointed with
the metro (whichever version)
One certainly needs to be quick for these Hodinkee editions...
...I am on the waitlist but do not have any hopes to be honest. It is a nice Nomos and being Hodinkee branded -riding their popularity waive- might have been the trigger for me. Congrats to your quick finger and enjoy. Cheers, kolosstt
yes really speed is the key here..vs. money in an auction..
but this makes it fun in a way thanks Kolosstt
Seems like Hodinkee is on a roll...
And you with them First the Zenith, now a Nomos. Find it well executed even if this is not my favourite model from them (am very partial to the 36mm Club myself). Enjoy it and may you wear it in great health!
thanks, well I like the bigger case but
surely the 36mm has its own charm. to be honest my only reason to buy a Nomos was this special edition because I feel that the Chronometer bit makes it very special. Zenith was a great catch too (and even more difficult as it was LE 25). Last year there w...
