Nomos Glashütte
The only German watchmaker designing and manufacturing all movements in-house - from simple automatics to complex complications - in the Glashütte watchmaking district.
Heritage & Overview
Nomos Glashütte was founded in 1992 in the Glashütte region of Germany, one of world's three great watchmaking centers alongside Switzerland and Japan. What distinguishes Nomos is its commitment to designing and manufacturing all movements entirely in-house - a rarity for any brand, and virtually unique among German independent makers. The Tangente collection showcases Nomos's design philosophy: Bauhaus-inspired minimalism, crystal-clear legibility, and mechanical honesty. Nomos produces watches at multiple price points, from accessible automatic Clubs ($1,200) to complex manual-wind Langematik pieces ($4,000+) and astronomical complications ($15,000+). The brand's in-house movements - Alpha, Beta, and Lambda families - are manufactured at Nomos's own facilities in Glashütte. For design enthusiasts and movement purists who value modernism over tradition, Nomos represents the forefront of contemporary watchmaking.

Club Campus
The Nomos Club Campus is a masterclass in Bauhaus minimalism — clean lines, legible dial, and German precision at a price that competes with nothing else in the in-house automatic segment. Made entirely in Glashütte, Germany, its DUW 3001 movement is a point of pride for the brand. The ideal first serious watch for someone who values substance over logos.
Tangente 38
The Nomos Tangente is the purest expression of the brand's Bauhaus design philosophy — German-made, hand-wound, with a dial so clean it approaches perfection. Its 37.5mm size and slim 6.9mm profile slides under any cuff, making it the ideal dress watch for those who've grown tired of Swiss conservatism. Remarkable engineering presented with absolute simplicity.
