Nomos

Nomos is a Glashuette-based German watch brand. Nomos was founded in 1990. Since the mid 1990s Nomos designs and produces in-house movements. In 2014 Nomos introduced the Swing system, a revolutionary system that allows Nomos to manufacture watches entirely in Glashuette without having to rely on Swiss watch parts.

The system of the balance, balance spring, escape wheel and pallet is the heart of every mechanical watch – Nomos now controls this chain in-house from end to end. Among the more popular Nomos watches are the Nomos Tangente, Nomos Orion, Nomos Ahoi, Nomos Zurich, Nomos Lux, Nomos Lambda, Nomos Metro.
