Nomos

Nomos Glashutte's hand-wound in-house caliber, remarkably slim at just 2.6mm and finished to exacting Glashutte standards including three-quarter plate architecture, hand-engraved balance cock, and blued screws. The Alpha established Nomos as a true manufacture and powers iconic models like the Tangente and Orion. Its Bauhaus-inspired design philosophy extends to the movement's clean, functional architecture.

Owners talk.

“

The NOMOS Glashütte Orion 38 silver is widely praised for its elegant Bauhaus design and harmonious dial proportions, offering exceptional value. Reviewers highlight its lens-shaped casing and flow-formed lugs as key design elements. Some owners find the 38mm size wears larger than expected due to its all-dial appearance, while others consider it versatile for both formal and casual occasions. A potential readability issue is noted with the silver indexes and hands in dim light compared to other variants. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Orion 38 silver highly for its clean design and value proposition.
