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).

Tangente represents classic modernity. It easily collects love letters and design prizes, as well as other gold stars.
