NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Neomatik watch

NOMOS Glashütte is a renowned German watchmaking company based in the historic town of Glashütte, Saxony. Founded shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 by Roland Schwertner, the brand has become a hallmark of the Bauhaus aesthetic and precision engineering. The manufacturing process is highly centralized in Glashütte, where the company designs, develops, and produces its own mechanical calibers in-house, satisfying the strict 'Glashütte Rule' which requires at least 50% of a movement's value to be added locally (NOMOS often exceeds 95%).

Unlike many of its neighbors in the luxury watch industry, NOMOS remains an independent, owner-managed company. It has successfully maintained its autonomy while becoming the largest manufacturer of mechanical watches in Germany. The brand is celebrated globally for its minimalist design language and technical innovation, such as the proprietary NOMOS Swing System escapement, which ensures independence from large Swiss component suppliers.
