Nomos has been my favorite watch brand from Glashütte
Germany with its heritage, manufacturing almost 100% in-house, and Bauhaus design language.
My love at first sight with Nomos is their Sport Collection; “Club” and their Contemporary Collection; “Orion” and “Zürich” instead of their Classic Collection; “Tangente” and “Lugwig” which contains all of the Nomos signature design element i.e. straight & slim lug, perfect circle case, original fonts, etc.
However, because of its famous “long lug” that always stopped me to get one into my collection.
Just recently, I had a chance to see and touch Tangente in the metal for the first time. I told myself that it’s very outstanding from the others siblings. Once I put it on my wrist, all the feeling that I afraid of the lug, the boring round case, and a very simple dial was disappeared.
This watch put a big smile on my face and I knew in the sudden this is the Nomos that I’ve been searching for a long long time. Sometime boring and simple designs are not the bad things and you have to really see the watch up close in the metal and put it on your wrist to really understand and to know exactly what you feel with that watch. The same way that I experienced with this Nomos Tangente 38mm.
