Freedom, peace, justice, and equality are just some of the values that the Basic Law enshrined in German democracy 75 years ago. Today, they are more valuable than ever. The classic Ludwig is a reminder of this in a limited edition of just 75 pieces. Article 1, section 1 of the German Basic Law is engraved on the case back of this special model: “Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.” (“Human dignity shall be inviolable.”) The NOMOS Alpha hand-wound caliber, regulated according to chronometer values, ticks inside.

Safety instructions
NOMOS uses 316 L stainless steel for all cases and buckles. This type of stainless steel is not fully free of nickel, but it does not pass nickel on to the skin; the amount of nickel in the alloy is about 12 percent. Thus, the amount of nickel passed to the skin is less than 0.2 micrograms per square centimeter per week and far below the medicinally acceptable amount. Other stainless steel alloys might have a lower percentual amount of nickel in the alloy, but they pass more of it on to the skin.
