Nomos Glashütte Ludwig Owner Review : Delicate, chic and poetic

Hello everyone, I share with you this opinion on the Nomos Ludwig reference 249, its name, "Duo white enamel". So yes, we are far from the other models of the brand which have a much greater visibility, like the Orion, the Tangente and the Club for example. So yes, also I think I can already hear the little internal voices of a large number of people: "What 33... 33mm, but that's small!" It is not really the standard for a man's wrist, of course, but I share this watch with my partner for whom I bought an XS strap so that she can also have it on her wrist from time to time. The opening of the dial gives the impression of wearing a vintage going to 35mm in diameter. For your information, my wrist is rather flat and measures 17.5cm, the lugs of the watch do not protrude, it is very quickly forgotten thanks to its 6.6mm thickness (2.6mm for the movement) and its weight.... 33gr with the bracelet! An important point is the width between the lugs, which is 17mm, so either you buy the bracelets from Nomos, or you have a small custom bracelet made for fun. The Alpha.2 movement is very beautiful, the watch has a sapphire back that allows you to observe it for a long time (it is a shame to hide it). The winding is smooth, the adjustment flexible. I chose this watch both for the brand (because I wanted a Nomos for a long time), its finesse, the slightly vintage side and because with only two hands, time is discreet. It reminds me a bit of the Blancpain Villeret 2 gold hands with the caliber 21 (my dream...) In short, for me it's 100% positive. I wear the watch regularly, outside of sports activities, as well in a suit as with jeans and a t-shirt.
