Founded in 1990 by Roland Schwertner in Glashütte, Germany—just months after the fall of the Berlin Wall—NOMOS Glashütte has become a defining force in modern horology. Schwertner, an IT expert and photographer, aimed to revive the region's historic watchmaking tradition through a distinctly contemporary lens. The brand is celebrated for its strict adherence to Bauhaus design principles, characterized by clean typography, slender cases, and highly legible, minimalist dials. NOMOS offers a gender-neutral approach to sizing, with core collections like the Tangente, Orion, and Metro appealing to design-conscious professionals and purist collectors alike.
