What happens when German engineering collides with world-class watchmaking and Jony Ive-like product design? Something like NOMOS, who continue to deliver an elegantly understated aesthetic. And they're about to win new enthusiasts thanks to the ultra-minimal, ultra-sleek, ultra-stylish Tangente Neomatik Blue/Gold watch.
The minimalist design of the watch is a hallmark of NOMOS, with clean lines and a simple but refined appearance. It does things a little bit differently, however, with an unexpected deep blue dial and gold accents that add a touch of elegance and luxury to the design.
As for the details: it's powered by the in-house Nomos caliber DUW 3001, a reliable and accurate automatic movement, and sports a tastefully sized 35mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal caseback allowing the wearer to admire the movement within.
Completing the look is a Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap, also in dark blue, which artfully complements the dial of the watch. The strap is quite soft and supple, too, making it easy to wear for long periods.
Overall, the NOMOS Tangente Neomatik Blue/Gold is a beautiful and elegant timepiece that will appeal to watch enthusiasts who appreciate less but better and subtle style, not flashy style.
