Nomos Glashütte Metro watch

Nomos Glashütte is a renowned German watch manufacturer based in Glashütte, Saxony. Founded in 1990 by Roland Schwertner, the brand is famous for its clean, Bauhaus-influenced minimalist designs and its commitment to in-house movement production.

Unlike many watch brands that rely on external suppliers, Nomos produces its mechanical movements almost entirely within its own workshops in Glashütte. This dedication to craftsmanship and territorial production allows them to uphold the prestigious 'Glashütte' designation, which requires at least 50% of the movement's value to be generated locally. The brand remains an independent company, owned primarily by its founder and a small group of directors, distinguishing it from many competitors owned by large luxury conglomerates.
