Stellar article on *the* brand showcasing an exercise in kinematics!
One of the fascinating things is the variable scales that shift around; not just the seconds hand. The wonders of mathematics and engineering in play here to devise the cam profiles that makes them work! The illustration of the group of hand components being individually balanced is a subtle but important point - substantial (weight) rotating components should be balanced to avoid any unnecessary unbalance/stresses on the shafts...
Another nice little touch are those custom buckles - nicely added value to the timepiece!
Sadly, I feel that the aesthetics may be not for everyone - I personally fall into the category that admires from afar, yet not foreseably ever owning one myself...

Nord Zeitmaschine by Daniel Nebel: Kinetic Art or also Watchmaking of the Highest Order?
“Kinetic Art” is mentioned occasionally when watches with an unusual time display are discussed. According to the TATE’ s art-terms , “Kinetic art is art that depends on motion for its effects”. Though, I associate foremost the “machines” built by Swiss a...
Wow, what a great article!
I loved to see the details and discover complexity and solutions of the most recent flexible hands. This must be the best article I´ve read on an independent brand in quite a while. Well done! I´ve been following Daniel and the progress of his watchmaking...
Another mind boggeling post from Bjoern... READ IT !
Thanks for this deep and fascinating look into the world of Daniel Nebel and Nord Zeitmaschine. Don
Another truly outstanding post!!
Thank you so much for this reference thread I can imagine time and passion that was put into this Once more Kudos! Cordially Damjan
Its sure is a great and thorough post 👌🏻
I must admit i like the brand and there watches but didnt give it a lot of attention . It sure is a nice way to tell time , maybe its because its a bit to Steampunk for me . Will give it more time and try it on the wrist next time i have the possibility ....
If this is the effort and diligence you apply to your day job...
I ‘d hate to compete with you What a spectacular post yet again! While I have been vaguely aware of the brand from Jocke’s occasional pictures, this is under the skin, right to the molecular structure deep! We really need to make a concerted effort to get...
What an impressive and really in depth post your offered us dear Björn. Thank you very much. I learned so many things about this brand and its different models thanks to you 🙏
I knew this brand and mainly the Variocurve (the same as Jocke) as I was close to buy one few years ago. I didn’t pull the trigger because I was afraid to get tired of it after few months of excitement. But it’s a watch I still keep in mind because I real...
Thanks for a great write up
Daniel is a great guy and a awesome watchmaker, I really like his work and his way of thinking.
