Horological Meandering

from what I've read they seem to be a nice little manufacturer offering watches at a great value.  Thank you!  Paul

design.

They are well put together, and again, considering the price, offer great value for the money.

That said, they are not "high horology" - consider them classically styled "tool watches"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, of course; just know what you are getting into. (my comments are NOT intended as "faint praise" - I own some Nomos and wear them proudly.)

Cheers,

I think Nomos makes great watchs!! I have an Orion Wiess, and I love it!

Hi

I responded to an earler post this week about Nomos watches & I'll say it again. Great watches, I have a Tangente, small, thin & elegant. Dials are uncluttered and the the blued hands look great.

Only comment against I would make if you're looking for a larger watch, then a Tangente might not be for you - its only 36 mm across, though they do wear larger.

I'm very happy with mine & willl in all likelyhood be wearing it tomorrow

Mine is extremely accurate, and while I know this could be a one-off they do have a reputation for accuracy.

Excellent quality for the price, and a great stealth look.

The straps are made from Cordovan leather which lasts for ever.

..its probably to do with the thin bezel and stark white dial. If size gets you down, I suggest you try one on. I had 3 in the past and of all the watches I have sold, I miss them the most. Fortunately they are such a good price I'll get one again- soon.

 

Also nomos watches love straps- they work with sooo many combinations.

And I agree, I would love to see a manual in-house chrono sometime in the future.

...then really fell hard after experiencing them in the metal.  My choice from the current lineup: black dial 40mm Club on the cordovan strap.  Love it!  It's a great value IMO.  I may buy one myself!

Hi Paul,

I can only join in the praise of Nomos watches.
My Tangente with date and PR is also very accurate and the finishing of the movement is lovely. The value for money relation is excellent IMO.

 

If you like the Bauhaus design, this is definitely a brand to consider.

Best regards,

it is much appreciated and reflects what I have read about them.  Are they considered an independent? Thanks again!

I have two Tangomat dates (standard and the Oeding Erdel with black dial amd lume), an Orion, and a Wempe LE Tangente with day/night indicator.

I wear the Tangomats alot. They are, in my experience, very accurate.

I love the Bauhaus design and the gorgeous heat blued steel hands. The screws are heat blued too - I love the cornflower colour of them.

The automatic movement is designed and made in house and whilst, it's true to say, not finished to 'high horology' standards does have a good industrial quality to it which I really like.

The straps age really well too.

All in all excellent value.

I'd also add my plea for a chronograph in the Nomos 'spirit;.

Hi - Nomos are lovely - I considered one myself but eventually went for a Stowa Antea KS which is based on a Stowa of a similar design from 1938, at an even better price point than the Nomos. That said, I think the Nomos movement is more of an in-house affair (or more highly modified) than the Stowa's.
