A watch of the world, for men who feel at home everywhere. The curves of the case, the form of the case horns, the elegance of the dial: This automatic watch, designed for NOMOS Glashütte by the late Zurich-based designer Hannes Wettstein, is a piece of art for the wrist. A modern classic in silver white.
Zürich’s indexes are applied by hand. The hands also require a great deal of effort to produce—they are facetted (so feature angular polishing) and rhodium-plated.
The elegant lugs feature a slight inward curve. And did you notice? The lug and bezel have a small space between them—which presents the case like a set diamond.
Zürich’s form, which tapers down towards the wrist, makes this model particularly elegant and slender. Despite its size, this watch never exaggerates.
Prizes and awards
Prize-winning restraint: Zürich's design, mechanics, and precision have earned it numerous awards.
Impression
For confident wrists: Zürich measures 40 millimeters across, and ten millimeters in height. It’s a watch that may be reserved, but never hides its charm.
Stefan has a wrist circumference of 19 cm (7.5") and a strap length of M.

Caliber
