NOMOS Glashütte presents the Nomos Duo: simple and elegant two-hand models with a prime calibre from Glashütte—watches for women that make wonderful gifts.
Tangente, Orion, Ludwig, Tetra are the four classics that NOMOS Glashütte started with more than a quarter of a century ago. Now, there are new versions of these watches designed to embody the Bauhaus movement. Conceived for more delicate wrists, these models measure 33 millimetres in diameter (Tetra side length: 27 millimetres). But this time they feature only two hands—hence “duo.” After all, sometimes it’s better to keep things simple. It goes without saying that these hand-wound watches contain a fine Glashütte calibre, meaning they are highly precise. Inside, Alpha.2 is at work: an adaptation of NOMOS’ most manufactured calibre.
The case of the four new watches is made of stainless steel, the dials are white silverplated, as with other NOMOS classics. This silver case is complemented by golden hands, which makes this watch an ideal companion to jewellery. The mocha-brown typography is almost black, but softer, and the beige velour leather strap is also more delicate than the classic Shell Cordovan. A personalized engraving on the stainless steel back is the finishing touch—available on request.
Removing the complication of the small seconds also means a reduction in price: Tangente, Ludwig, Tetra and Orion duo will make perfect presents, and are wonderful small pleasures from Glashütte. Available from April in selected retailers.
