The multiple prizewinning design classic from Glashütte with a hand-wound caliber and patented power reserve indicator that reminds the wearer when to rewind the watch. German efficiency! Another NOMOS patent: the extra-large date. The date ring is set around the movement, while the power reserve mechanism is integrated into the mainspring barrel—so everything remains elegantly slender, despite the additional complications.
Every now and again, but not often, the NOMOS logo takes a small step to the side. Here, it’s for the power reserve indicator.
That’s handy! The extra-large date will keep track of important meetings, even from the next desk over.
A watch with a clear profile, plenty of substance—but no unnecessary size. This Tangente measures less than seven millimeters in height.
Tangente’s power reserve indicator brings to mind an old-fashion fuel gauge—and when it’s time to wind, of course (which is once every two days).
Made in Glashütte, Germany: Precision timekeeping, award-winning design, and exceptional craftmanship—perfect all around.

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.
