Nomos Glashütte Tangente - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

From the beginning, I was captivated by the emptiness of German Bauhaus design. A readable emptiness that nevertheless seems inhabited by the reflection and calculations of the designer or, certainly, the designers who took the design of the dial and the watch out of nothingness. Fiat lux. In the end, the simplicity of the lines tightens on the essential and therefore keeps only what is necessary. The watchmaking Bauhaus then heads towards a quest for the Right. In short, the font of the indexes follows the curvature of the case as if to press and resonate with the roundness of the case. The numbers mingle with the line indexes that extend the discreet railway. Everything is clear and spacious, a glance is enough to read the time. On the dial dance two fine blue steel hands, they magnificently chisel the almost silver dial. We are surprised to appreciate the unveiling of the red power reserve which contrasts in a primary way with the blue of the hands and the silvery gray-white of the dial. The subtly crafted seconds subdial adds extra depth to the dial, adding a touch of complexity in all simplicity. Thin - 6.6mm thick - the watch sits discreetly on the wrist. The lugs creep across the wrist and cleverly widen the watch's humble diameter: 35mm.

A watch that can be worn both at the office and on the weekend. A balanced watch, for creative people who will appreciate the triptych: classic, originality, simplicity. A watch for lovers of time, those who appreciate manual winding and observing the back that reveals the mechanism that grabs us every morning without tiring us.
