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. The Tetra Divine Spark is a member of this quartet and comes with a subtle yet warm copper-coloured dial, an in-house manual-winding movement and the stylish Bauhaus minimalism associated […]
NOMOS is a rare breed of watchmakers as it’s independently run in Glashütte and a vertically integrated manufacture with an accessibly priced portfolio. This is a combination that you don’t see often these days. Earlier this year, the brand celebrated the 175th anniversary of watchmaking in Glashütte with several limited edition watches sporting white enamel […]
Let’s go back to 2017 when Nomos partnered with Netherlands-based Ace Jewellers and created the Orion “De Stijl” Limited Edition – a design that celebrated one of Europe’s most famous modern art movements. Represented in simple black and white shades, the no-nonsense design of this Nomos Orion watch possessed the basic graphic lines and symmetrical […]
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!
The attraction, the reasons that drive us towards a certain kind of watch, the lack of rationale behind the love for a timepiece… and then the hunt for THAT special one. Behind most watch acquisitions there’s a story, a motivation to go for one particular version and not another, subjective factors that explain why one […]
Fourth time at the rodeo for Ace Jewelers of Amsterdam and Nomos, the partnership behind the latest limited edition watch dedicated to the city of Amsterdam: the Tangente 38 Amsterdam.

For the third year in a row, following the very original and arty Orion “De Stijl” and the sporty Club Campus Amsterdam, Dutch retailer ACE presents a collaboration watch with Glashütte-based watchmaker Nomos. And for the third year in a row, they hit the right note. The already existing Zürich World Timer (Weltzeit in German) was […]
Ace Jewelers and Nomos Glashütte have teamed up for the second time to create a limited-edition wristwatch. Their first attempt was a cool, slightly “out of the box” Orion watch inspired by art movement “De Stijl” and featuring a unique dial with asymmetrical indexes. For their second watch together, the Dutch theme is still present (Ace Jewelers is one of the largest retailers in the Netherlands) as inspired by the city of Amsterdam. Meet the original, fresh-looking Nomos Club Campus Amsterdam Limited Edition by Ace Jewelers.
Recently, we introduced to you the Nomos Orion “De Stijl” Limited Edition, a watch made especially for the Dutch market and retailed exclusively by Ace Jewelers. Celebrating the 100th-anniversary of Dutch art movement De Stijl, it featured the classic, almost austere design of the brand, however here combined with an undeniable, yet discreet creative madness. Enough for us here to have the itch and want to see what this watch does on the wrist… with a special mention for our Founder Frank Geelen, himself a Dutchman.
