Nomos Glashütte

📍Germany
📅Founded 1992

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.
