Owner review: Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut
I’m no stranger to Nomos, the Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut is the fourth one I’ve owned. It came up for sale from a fellow watch collector, barely used, so I just went for it. I’ve been looking for my next Nomos, but wanted something different from my Club and Lambda. The fact that the Nomos Orion…

Owner review: Nomos Lambda
Since I started collecting watches I’ve always been intrigued by Nomos. The German brand has a lot going for it; iconic Bauhaus design, in-house movements, and excellent quality, all at a relatively reasonable price. During my search for the first Nomos, the Lambda in steel was launched. Yes, it was very attractive, but way too…

Owner Review: Nomos Orion 38
Twelve years ago I was working for the Swatch Group and the workshop got together to buy a Nomos Tangente for one of the watchmakers (hi Odo!) as a wedding gift. Blown away by both the coolness and the quality/feel of it, I hit the internet and got even more blown away by the Nomos…

Owner Review: Nomos Club Campus
When I was about to marry my beloved wife, I wanted to treat myself with a nice watch. It should be a) not too expensive and b) a watch my wife could and would wear, too. Just around that time, Nomos launched the Club Campus, intended for (as the name suggests) special occasions such as…

Owner Review: Nomos Tetra Neomatik 39
Say hello to the Nomos Tetra Neomatik 39 – since my university days, I’ve always wanted to get a Nomos Tetra, but I never quite got down to it. Alas, I’ve finally added it to my collection! There’s just something about a squared case watch that appealed to me, and NOMOS most definitely provides great…

Owner Review: Nomos Orion Weis – A little, big taste of Glashütte
Here is my Nomos Orion Weis in 33mm (well, 32.8mm if you want to be exact). It hails from the renowned German watchmaking town of Glashütte in the state of Saxony that is often associated with their bigger neighbors, A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original. Despite NOMOS having practically zero history or ties to…

Owner Review: Nomos Metro – small seconds, big style
The Nomos Metro was designed by German designer Martin Braun but at the same time is still a very typical Nomos watch, although still a little bit different. I like the clean and clear design of Nomos watches in general, but I also like the way this watch is just that bit more elegant with…

Owner Review: Nomos Club Campus Ace
If you have yet to explore the range of watches that the Glashutte based Nomos offer, I would commend you to lose an hour of your life on their website – in fact, one learns a lot about the culture, history and sense of fun that permeates through Nomos from their website. This is a…

Owner review: Typsim 200M-C
I should begin by disclosing that Matt, the Typsim founder and watchmaker, is a friend. I paid in full for my 200M-C just like every other customer, and I’ve definitely publicly embarrassed Matt with my display of enthusiasm for his watches. I picture him reading this and doing a facepalm. By 2017 the market price…

Owner review: Seiko SMW004A Metronome
Watch complications vary from traditional to contemporary, whimsical to necessary, and watch brands are always combining complications to display horological prowess and open up new market trends. But how about combining rhythm and timekeeping as a complication within the Seiko SMW004A Metronome watch. A striking quartz watch which has the ability to produce a beat…
