Introducing – The Nomos Lambda 175 Years Watchmaking in Glashütte Limited Edition in Steel

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!

Is Commercialism by another name, Democratisation?

Increasingly, watch fairs like SIHH and Baselworld are headlined by the complications of the grandest and most expensive forms. They’re beautiful, head-turning and as a result, outclass most of the other watches a brand might release. A common joke (warning: it’s fairly gauche) amongst men is the fear of going to bed with a…
