Founded by Roland Schwertner in 1990, months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Nomos has forged a […]

I first encountered the term “minimalist” at the tender age of 10, trying to figure out why anyone would enjoy staring at a wonky, red square on a white canvas at the opening night of Zagreb’s Museum of Contemporary Art. Still, I found myself strangely drawn to the painting. It seemed like art critics of … Continued

Fine watchmaking has been part of the history of Glashütte, a small village from Germany, for 175 years now. And while NOMOS is one of the youngest brands to operate in this charming town, they are fully part of the watchmaking tradition and, last year, they celebrated this by releasing several limited editions, such as […]
Glashütte is a small village but it is a big name for German watchmaking. Following the establishment of watchmaking in 1845 thanks to a man named Lange, watchmakers from Dresden and beyond implemented a flourishing industry that would become the epicentre of fine horology in this country. Nomos, one of the youngest and most active […]
Since 2012, NOMOS has collaborated with the German affiliate of Doctors Without Borders (Ärzte Ohne Grenzen), an independent, global medical program that provides emergency services around the world.

To mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, German brand Nomos revisits its square watch with its Tetra Symphony quartet.

175 years ago Ferdinand Adolf Lange founded the first watchmaking workshop in Glashütte. This ‘simple’ act by the namesake of one of today’s top watch manufacturers in the world caused a lot! Quite a few watchmakers followed suit and started their own watchmaking business in the small town of Glashütte. Fast forward to post-cold war era. NOMOS, founded in 1990, and well-known for some of the best “value propositions” in the watch-market, is a proper, full-fledged, watch manufacture. With the Lambda, Nomos shows what they are capable of and it’s quite impressive. Today they celebrate the 175th anniversary of watchmaking in Glashütte with the introduction of the Nomos Lambda 175 Years Watchmaking in Glashütte Limited Edition, and it’s a beauty!
