Metro, designed by Mark Braun, is a true success story; no other NOMOS model has won so many awards or become a bestseller in such a short space of time. The dark-colored dial of this larger version with a date is the perfect complement to both the white and mint green indexes and the delicate hands. Also at work here: an exquisite hand-wound caliber featuring the NOMOS swing system.
Glashütte’s dark side: The dial of this Metro isn’t plain black, but rather ruthenium (a metal in the platinum group). As well as mint, silver, and red.
The last train home, the next gallery opening—this watch makes sure that you don’t miss either. Caliber 4101 knows the time and the date.
Visible through the sapphire crystal glass back: the tempered blue balance spring. Yes, the in-house built NOMOS swing system is at work here.
Metro has a simply beautiful side profile, demonstrating how elegant and slender a mechanical watch can be.
The rhodium-plated hands on a black dial offer outstanding legibility at a glance—as befits a dress watch.
Impression
Metro makes its presence felt—here a tick larger, with a 38.5-millimeter diameter. Its slender bezel gives the dial space and lets the watch appear even larger.
Julian has a wrist circumference of 18 cm (7.1") and a strap length of M.
