Nomos Buying Guide | Crown & Caliber

Their cheapest watch is $1,380.00 kind of expensive for a meh looking dial.

Nomos makes really very nicely looking watches for a reasonable price. Yet recently I think, although being quite different in style and look, Oris really made a similar step with their own movement, which is also on the cheaper side, yet competing easily with Tudor or even Omega and Rolex.

Hello, this is the best video on YT about Nomos. Someone could explain me the difference between the Zurich model and the Orion? Im interested in the all silver one, they look identical to me. Also is the neomatik movement way better than the alfa?

CLASSIC. I got the metro. Sold everything else, this is my one watch. Nothing else needed for me

Recently bought two watches, a Sinn 556 and a Nomos Tangente handwind, Sinn on the ETA/Selita gains +1 sec after 24 hours and Nomos DUW Swing whatever gains +7 seconds after 24 hours. At 36.5 hourthe Nomos ran out of power, supposed to have 42hours? The Sinn clocked 40.5hrs power reserve. Inhouse doesnt necessary mean better. Better decorated? Slightly, to a watch person. To a layman its just metallic gears with some colors.

Got to be honest…I’ve handled/worn/owned various Nomos pieces and not a fan. They feel very flimsy & cheap. Won’t own one again

Excellent information, be nice to see how they fit on your wrist ..with a measurement idea

Fantastic job with all the summary and the research in depth. Bravo, team C&C!

I've had a Tangente Gangreserve for over 2 yrs now and it's my favorite in a nice collection of 7. My next purchase will be a Metro Silvercut - another totally unique Nomos thing. I love the unique power reserve on the Tangente also. They are very special watches, the fit and finish is remarkable at this price, I know of no other manufacturers with this level of quality both on the case and in the movement. I often hear people say Nomos is overpriced which is a clear indictor they don't understand or can't appreciate exemplary quality in fit and finish on a watch.

Edit: Dec, 2023 - Putting my money where my mouth is. Purchased my Metro Neomatik 39 Silvercut, my grail for 2.5 yrs.

really nice guide. thank you :)

Will zalatoris?

The Lux and the Lambda. We are going to gloss over these because they represent the pinnicale of Nomos... what?

Hi guy ! Is that true that in 2012, the tangente gangreserve has à black indicator instead of the red one caliber 4401?

I think you should have given some advise about wearing size given the long lugs.

fantastic coverage, well done. love nomos dials. elegant

Love Nomos and its a great value brand! The design is beautiful but its not for me. Feels a little too industrial for me.

Great video!

So if I may ask, are the internals of every nomos watch totally a german made??? I currently own all the models except for a german made and which is why I am interested in going for a nomos (alange is totally out of my budget 😀) so chose nomos which is equally awesome. Replies and clarifications will be highly useful. Thabks in advance 😀👍

If he says “pops of color” one more time…..

Great video from a nice brand. Not much into minimalism but Nomos surely does it well. Definitely on my list.

I own a Nomos Ludwig 234 since 2017 when I was visiting Germany and have seen the price of Nomos goes up since then. I still love my ludwig, even I was intended to get a tangente btw, and would definately buy more new models from Nomos in the future.

Hi
Any views on the Nomos Neomatik Club 42 it looks amazing please update any thoughts

How many more variations of the Bauhaus design can there be? Well, apparently Nomos’ mission is to find out. Yawn!

How long would this same video be, if it was made about Seiko?

Great video, the beautiful watches across the board. Love the Metro especially.

I video with SINN watches would be great 👍🏻

This is certainly the year I will buy my first real watch and it will be a Nomos

More useful than I thought! Thanks!

When I get my degree I’ll treat myself to a Tangente update :)

I want the Lux Zikade SO BAD, but the price point is so high.

Wasn't the Club out by this time? Surprised it wasn't mentioned.

Of these I favor the Orion. I wish they would upgrade the indeces with slightly bolder gold or silver applied post's though.

I like how Nomos looks like a piece of art

So much diversity in their models lol There is more to Bauhaus then only one design.

Thank you for the review of Nomos & their history. I bought my first Nomos watch last month & the more I see & learn about them, the more convinced I will own a number of them in the coming years. The new Orion with gold & silver dials are stunningly beautiful, as is the Tangente Neomatik 39 Silvercut. It's always very nice to buy such quality at affordable prices, Nomos certainly falls into this category.

Lovely brand, the simplicity is striking across the lineup. My favorite is the Tangente. Really like the usability of the Arabic numerals and the overall Bauhous design.

NoMas

Lol, guys making a comparison to Seiko because the words in house came up. Just glaze over the whole Glashuette aspect. How shallow can you be?

I have the ahoi.. love this watch.

Nomos Club looks good on my college kid

Excellent assessment, thanks, I’ve shortlisted Nomos for a while about to make a purchase. Very different to my normal timepieces 👍🏻

Sure you cover a lot but you did not show the movement or case backs...

This video is like a James Hoffman for watches

"Meh."

Congratulations on the great videos.
My name is Rogério Fadel Rihan I'm Brazilian, I live in Porto Alegre, state of RS.

I really like your videos and would like to offer some suggestions:
If you can, offer a Spanish version for people like me who don't speak English. I understand partially your explanations.

If possible, I would like to hear from you about precision of movements and the cost in dollars.
I wish you luck in your work and in your life.
Tanks so much

“Nomos is producing in-house movements at approachable price points and that is unprecedented.”
Seiko, “Hold my biru.”
