NOMOS Glashütte marks 175 years of wonderful watchmaking with its Tangente.

First unveiled at Geneva’s Watches and Wonders, NOMOS Glashütte (nomos-glashuette.com) celebrates 175 years of watchmaking heritage with its top-tier Tangente. This iconic timepiece was vividly reinterpreted in a collection of 31 watches in unique colors. The colorful limited edition, limited to 175 pieces per model, upholds the precision regulated according to chronometer values in the handwound movement that NOMOS produces in Germany. A patented design element of the DUW 4101 movement also allows for a large date window at the edge of the dial.

Each watch has its own name and charming narrative, from Ariel to Zirkus, encapsulating different moods and personalities. NOMOS embraces individuality through the craftsmanship of each model with careful consideration of the dial elements to match the character of each new colorway—a democratization of joy and diversity in fine watchmaking with the introduction of colorful characters like Super Sardine, Ziegelblau and Pompadour for every wrist. With a 37.5 mm case, the new limited editions are also neutral across genders.

The range easily covers festive, elegant, casual and sporty occasions, making this a flexible and fluid timepiece.
