Thanks for the mapping!
It is amazing that every manufacturer is literally down the street from each other. From an employer perspective, I suppose that there must be a very strong identity of the people who work with the different companies or there will be a lot of moving around, like musical chairs.
A package inbound from Germany arrived this morning: Nomos Tangente Special Edition
I've seen my tastes in watches over the last few years gravitate to classic designs, and more often than not, simple time only watches with the occasional date. I've contemplated this one for a while now, not making the plunge because there is no sample t...
Lovely! Well done, Richard. I love to see a manual movement beating in such a watch.
Red 12 is the cherry on the cake, too. Huge congratulations. For the watch and for the noble cause. These guys rock! Best, Nicolas
Thanks, Nico. The story turned out quite well
This was right after I was looking forward to the TT Geophysic and there was no watch to see...then met a buddy for drinks and had his Tangente to see I placed the order not much later. I also appreciate that Nomos contributes to a cause without charging ...
Well, the F. A. Lange
is only the name of the square, " Platz " means Square in German. Nice watch, although it would be too little for my wrist! Congrats! Yours, Adam
Thanks for helping educate me :-)
I was just wondering but it certainly looks like Lange is well honored in the state for what he brought to them.
Great choice!
Both for the watch and the cause. The red 12 is truly a cherry on the cake; definitely need to try it on, as you claim the strap is super comfortable, and it always looked not quite so to me (although as I said looked - never tried it on). Which size?
35mm
You need to try it on to know I\'ve a preference for smaller sizes with 42mm the absolute max I\'ll go. Typically prefer 37-40mm, but this Tangente has some long lugs and with the very thin bezel, it wears somewhat larger than what it says.
Had it in my hands several times
So 35mm is definitely not a problem, just never put it on in a way to test the strap. It really appears quite a bit larger than 35mm would have you believe.
Bravo...very elegant!
I was always sucker for white dials with red 12 Congrats Yours D
That red was what caught me too.
It is pretty amazing how a small change can make such a big difference. Thanks, my friend!
Because Nomos is located...
...at the Ferdinand Adolph Lange Square (Platz) in Glashutte. Right? Marcelo
Congrats Richard on your Nomos!
the red "12" is a nice touch to an already beautiful watch.
Thanks! It is indeed a very nice touch.
And I think pairing the red "12" with black hands instead of the original blue is a great idea too.
Thought about it...
But do you think it would be a little to cliche? I mean, it is the expected combo, I suppose, and it might detract somewhat from allowing this to be an all rounder watch which includes suits and boardrooms. Still toying with the idea. Don\'t have an 18mm ...
Would not call it cliche, necessarily
Just a thought - but as you said, you\'re not in a hurry
gorgeous watch richard, yes Lange Platz is the...
address Ferdinand- Adolph - Lange - Platz 2 is the full address of Nomos. This is a great watch for the money and I am pleased to hear that the 35mm wears well. Enjoy your latest acquisition Christian
Thanks!
I certainly will. I do enjoy how this wears and feels. Very nice case as well.
Another nice watch from Germany. Congrats!
Aren't we lucky now with all the nice options from Germany? Rgds Raymond
Yes we are very fortunate people :-)
And as for German watch options, you can never have too many options Next stop, Moritz Grossman....I\'m fascinated by what I\'ve seen from them too. I\'ll be able to check them out in the metal very soon!
Huge congratulations!
...and for a donation to a great organization! Btw. Glashütte is just a small village and all wellknown watchmakers are very close to each other. I made you an View from Googlemaps: Nomos ist situated at the old Train Station from Glashütte opposite from ...

Very very nice Richard
I've been looking at these Nomos watches several years ago and I think they are a very nice and appealing offer. I'm glad you shared these pictures with us as I'm sure many fellow purists will be interested in studying them and considering them as a purch...
My pleasure and thanks!
Thank you for the compliments. I agree, this is not a watch that there is a lot of information that\'s easily found aside from the press releases and the official pictures. I have an easier time finding stuff on the regular Tangente.
FA Lange anniversary edition Nomos?! :p
Congrats my friend! You are truly on a roll! Enjoy your latest watch. An added bonus for a noble cause. Well done! : Cheers Robin
Anniversary piece eh? I wish ;-)
Thanks, my friend. Don\'t know about being on a roll though, but I\'m finding that these simple watches from the independents and small manufacturers have tremendous value propositions attached. Makes me rethink a lot of how and what I buy now
