Founded by Roland Schwertner in 1990, NOMOS Glashütte is the largest manufacturer of mechanical timepieces in Germany. Only companies that create at least 50 percent of the value of a watch’s caliber in Glashütte are allowed to label their timepieces as “Glashütte watches.” NOMOS Glashütte goes far beyond the required 50 percent—and makes up to 95 percent of each movement on site. This is far from the only item that makes NOMOS watches special, mind you. The brand’s design ethos and attention to every minute detail makes for an incredibly impressive collection of timepieces. From colour-matched date wheels, to the most subtle of contrasting colour accents, to clever new ways to display various complications, NOMOS ticks a lot of boxes for watch enthusiasts of all shapes and sizes.
