Nomos Glashuette Watches

When we speak of Nomos Glashütte, it may probably conjure the images of their simple, functional, and timeless designs. Often spelled as “Nomos Glashuette” to “Nomos Glashutte” in English, Nomos Glashütte is an independent German watchmaker located in Glashütte, Saxony, Germany. As a comparatively young mechanical watch brand, the Bauhaus aesthetic of Nomos has tightly grabbed the hearts of watch enthusiasts all across the world.

The renowned German watch brand Nomos Glashütte is known for its high-quality watches of style and decency. In 1990, Nomos Glashütte was founded by a young photographer Roland Schwertner in Glashütte, Germany.

At the beginning of its watchmaking journey, Nomos was manufacturing only hand wound mechanical watches. Nomos launched its first collection in 1991, featuring the Orion, Ludwig, Tetra, and Tangente. These watches were designed by artisan Susanne Günther in the classic German Bauhaus style. 

From its launch until early 2005, Nomos had used Swiss ETA or Peseux ebauche movements and adjusted them in Glashütte style. Throughout those years, Nomos had been researching and developing their own technique on calibre manufacturing. 

In 2005 the brand introduced its first Nomos automatic watch with in-house movement, Nomos Tangomat. Since then, with its business growth, Nomos Glashütte has progressively continued to improve the technical mechanisms of the Nomos watches. To this date, Nomos Glashutte has created over a dozen in-house calibers, all with their own unique features. Nomos Glashütte has produced more new series of both manual-winding and automatic mechanical watches.

With its strive for innovations and quality, the brand has quickly gained popularity among watch lovers and become the leading mechanical watchmaker in Germany. 

In 2014, Nomos Glashütte achieved one of their brilliant breakthroughs, a Nomos swing system. The company invented this new system of their own escapement for their mechanical watches. It reinforced the brand’s independence on producing their own calibre without relying on external suppliers. 

The Nomos watches are well crafted in an incredible package: outstanding in-house movements, reasonable prices and minimalist designs. Let's take a look at some of the topnotch  Nomos watches.
