It embodies our watchmaking company like no other: The now renowned typography, classic and refined, a masterpiece of straightforwardness—Tangente is the shortest connection between the heart and the head. Tempered blue hands on a white silver-plated dial, multiple awards, and high precision, thanks to the hand-wound NOMOS Alpha caliber.
The hands shine cornflower blue—their color is created by heating to 290°C, according to the long-held watchmaking tradition.
Unmistakably Tangente: five numerals with typography reminiscent of the Bauhaus era. The sub-seconds dial allows the dial to appear entirely clean.
Tangente is very straightforward when viewed from the side as well. It measures exactly 6.2 millimeters in height.
Prizes and awards
Tangente represents classic modernity. It easily collects love letters and design prizes, as well as other gold stars.
