NOMOS - Gold Watches & the Best Value at the Show | Watches & Wonders 2026
18m
While the rest of Watches & Wonders 2026 pushes prices skyward, NOMOS Glashütte does the opposite. Tim Mosso sits down with NOMOS's Ines for an extensive walkthrough of everything the German manufacture brought to Geneva this year.
The Club Sport World Timer gets a new wide silver-plated dial — the cleanest, most accessible version of last year's breakout dual time zone watch. 40mm, 100m water resistance, automatic winding, luminescence, and world timer functionality at $5,580. Probably the only price drop you'll see at the show.
The Tangente Neomatik 38 Update is a clever one — "update" is both the name and a play on words. NOMOS's patented new date display has the numerals 1–31 circling the outer dial with two red markers indicating the current date. Bidirectional quick-set, 61-01 movement, 50-hour power reserve. In steel from $4,680. In 18k gold with blued hands and a unique buckle at $16,400 — NOMOS entering a gap in the market nobody else has filled: an in-house movement gold watch under $20,000.
Twice Unique is the most limited thing at the show. Five pairs of watches — Tangente, Tetra, Orion, Ludwig, and Tangente Update — each in both gold and stainless steel. You buy them as a pair, you can't separate the siblings. The dials are one-of-a-kind across three artist collaborations: the Glashütte Night Sky of 1845 with SuperLuminova stars that light up under UV; the 1966 collection featuring textile designs by 91-year-old Paris fashion designer Anna Rés; and Oric, with leaf gold hand-applied by a Berlin-based church gilder. The actual watches on the table are the real client pieces — no press demonstrators exist for these.
Tim and Ines also cover NOMOS's in-house swing system — over 7 years and €11 million of R&D — and what Horween Shell Cordovan leather actually is (hint: it's the same material as an NFL football).
