Nomos Glashütte Tangente Owner Review : Timeless, readable and delicate

My first mechanical watch. I hesitated a lot with the pale pink ORION model, but maybe because it was my first mechanical watch, I went for the more classic of the two. Especially since it is not so classic, after all... On this watch everything is fine: the case, the horns, long and thin, and these two hands that are so nice to see turning when setting the time. The minute hand is particularly long and allows a perfect adjustment that contributes to the great readability of the watch. The manual caliber is also very fine, in the elegant sense, and particularly pleasant to look at. The drift is +5 seconds per day, which for me remains acceptable. The mahogany cordovan strap is beautifully made but combined with the sobriety of the dial, it is a bit “boring”… So I immediately changed it for a blue alligator strap which electrifies the whole thing and matches the hands.
