Nomos Glashutte Tangente 38 Datum Review

NOMOS Glashutte Tangente 38 Datum model #130 is clean and simple with its external appearance; hence part of its appeal. Look closer and you notice the attention to detail you'd expect from a watchmaker from Glashutte, Germany.

Another thing that will catch your eye is the hand-stitched Horween original shell Cordovan leather. This is a detail you don't see in most watches, and its craftsmanship and comfort will definitely be appreciated. Nomos Tangente model #130 is quite light and comfortable.

Although it is considered a medium-sized watch, it looks like a larger watch on your wrist thanks to its thin bezel. There's a reason why this brand has become one of the most sought-after, high-end yet accessible watch brands in the last year.

Many people might say that this is because of the extremely modern watches with in-house developed mechanical movements that they produce at very competitive prices. While there may be some truth to this, it's not the main reason why people buy this watch.

Nomos has come a long way in just a few short years, introducing highly innovative approaches to watchmaking. To be less vague, we are talking about the NOMOS Swing System; This eliminates unnecessary energy from the system and prevents the additional wear and tear that occurs when this energy is not properly discharged.

Aside from the mechanical advantages, NOMOS has great movements that have that distinctive look and feel unique to Glashutte watches. The blued screws, the blue mainspring on the Swing System, the pink rubies, the application of various craftsmanship techniques that make the mechanism truly dazzling.

It's hard to believe you get all this for such a low price.

The mechanism of the Tangente 38 Datum, which is included in the Tangente Datum 38 collection, is no different. We are talking about the NOMOS Glashutte DUW 4101, which is equipped with a manual winding date display that uses a patented date mechanism. This caliber contains 23 jewels and is only 2.3 mm thick and 32.1 mm in diameter.

NOMOS is technologically independent. In this way, it can leave the Swiss monopoly; They rely on themselves and their expertise to keep prices low and quality high, while disruptively cutting out the middleman in production. Click here to see special prices.
