Nomos Glashütte Watch

Nomos Glashütte is a renowned German watch manufacturer based in Glashütte, Saxony. Founded by Roland Schwertner in 1990 shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the brand has become synonymous with the Bauhaus design movement and high-quality mechanical watchmaking.

The company is a dedicated 'manufactory', meaning it designs and produces its mechanical movements in-house, which is a rare feat in the watch world. The brand maintains strict adherence to the 'Glashütte' designation of origin, ensuring that at least 50% (and in Nomos' case, up to 95%) of the value of a watch movement is generated locally.

Nomos remains an independent private company, owned primarily by its founder and key management. This independence allows them to maintain their unique aesthetic and engineering standards without the influence of large luxury conglomerates. Their watches are exported globally and are recognized for their minimalism, precision, and architectural elegance.
