Good form

Shaping, planning, providing form—all of these are inherent in the meaning of the word “design.” In addition to the appearance of the completed product, “design” also describes the conscious process of shaping, or forming, which as a rule is also carried out with the concept of beauty in mind. As you can see, this is particularly true for the watches made by NOMOS Glashütte, where good design is one of the top concerns. The whole spirit and purpose behind the NOMOS design is to fashion the work of our watchmakers so that form corresponds to content, that the design of the watch is timeless while also serving people’s needs, that it is suitable for all occasions, Sundays as well as Mondays, summers as well as winters, bank appointments as well as yard work.

The designers

Good form is very important to NOMOS, not only for the watches themselves, but for all the little details that go along with producing them. Various artists and designers are responsible for making sure that the atmosphere at NOMOS is beautiful and good.

Prizes and awards

If we at NOMOS Glashütte were to actually celebrate every time there was a reason to celebrate, we would in fact never be able to produce any watches at all. Luckily, the watches are more important to us than the long list of awards.

The Deutscher Werkbund

Founded in 1907, the Werkbund was a kind of precursor to the Bauhaus. Since its establishment in 1990, NOMOS Glashütte has been a member of the Werkbund and strictly adheres to this school’s principles – and it does so very happily.

"Not a cuddly watch"

On beauty

NOMOS watches are regarded as well-designed and their purchasers as aesthetes. But are they really? Five minutes on beauty and on the foundations of taste that have interested not only philosophers for a long time.
