I am fast becoming interested Nomos Glashütte, a reasonably small, but highly respected watchmaker from the village of Glashütte in Germany’s Saxony region. Whilst not impossible, it is not easy to purchase a Nomos Glashütte in Australia, they don’t have a distribution network, with the right marketing, I would expect Nomos Glashütte to be popular in Australia.

I like the clean dials, the uncomplicated bauhaus design principles, the in-house movements really top off the uncluttered design of the Nomos range as previously stated, they offer some pretty decent in-house movements. The Glashütte design principle of the three quarter plate is interesting. The three quarter plate is apparently stronger than a standard plate, this is a Glashütte design principle, the German style plate brings strength without added weight. I had the chance to purchase a Nomos Glashütte when I was in the Philippines, I passed the opportunity up as I was indecisive at the time. Now I regret my decision but at the time I really didn’t know their range well enough – a missed opportunity.
