This watch speaks Latin in this contemporary masculine sizing as well—and appears more decisive and modern with a 38-millimeter diameter. The tempered blue hands bring a touch of revolution to the classical dial with Roman numerals. Within, tradition reigns supreme: the hand-wound Alpha caliber, crafted in Glashütte.
Ludwig features Roman numerals, but with IIII instead of IV. This follows watchmaking traditions—and the preferences of the NOMOS design team.
The soft side of Ludwig: the lugs fit perfectly snug to the wrist.
The diameter has grown slightly, which makes Ludwig 38 appear a tick more slender and elegant. This watch measures less than seven millimeters in height.
Made in Glashütte, Germany: Precision timekeeping, award-winning design, and exceptional craftmanship—perfect all around.
Impression
More Ludwig: 37.5 millimeters, to be exact. A practical addition: the date. The case tapers downwards and is as round as a pebble—which makes the watch wear even larger and flatter on the wrist.
Fabian has a wrist circumference of 18.5 cm (7.3") and a strap length of M.
