If the world is flat (as a dial), then Zürich is its center. This striking automatic watch was designed by the Swiss industrial designer Hannes Wettstein for NOMOS Glashütte and has received multiple awards. With a slender bezel, an excitingly complex case, and a white silver-plated dial, it has long been a classic.
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.
A tapered form that leads from the case to the crown—which is the crowning glory of this watch. Where else will you find such exquisitely formed grooves?
Prizes and awards
Prize-winning restraint: Zürich's design, mechanics, and precision have earned it numerous awards.
Impression
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
The first NOMOS automatic caliber and the one with which NOMOS Glashütte launched its in-house caliber production in 2005. Since then, it has been ticking with outstanding winding accuracy—and now with our NOMOS swing system too, which is to say: with independence at its heart.
