Finding the right size: Three Nomos Tangente Watches

[@paulreuter3284]

What a timing, very helpful! I am considering the Tangente as my first "luxury" watch

[@YoureTerrific]

Good choice.

[@watchnerds]

But at the same price I'll be considering Longines Heritage Sector or Chronograph Tuxedo.

[@marctravismba]

You're spot on about those lugs. I love Nomos designs, but the lugs have always been a deal breaker to me. I've owned 3, and they've always been sold within a year. If Nomos ever ups their lug game, I'm back in.

[@saikiranmushkara8955]

Love how the music, the costume, and the tone are formal (for the dress watches here) but the humour isn't left out!

[@betog.6229]

The Tangente Update in Midnight Blue is stunning. My go to when it comes to NOMOS. And the Orion with a green dial and gold inserts as well. Mind blowing pieces.

After so many years, the Tangente still looks so good and fresh, a classic indeed

[@pasttenseSara]

Well done. I will add that I have the 38mm Tangente Datum and love it. It shares wrist time with my custom built (I'm a watchmaker) 44mm Omega 1151 Triple Date w/Moonphase creation and I love the contrast between them. I bought my daughter the 35mm Tangente (ref. 139) for her new job and the Campus Club Night for college graduation and I could easily wear both. Nomos is such a wonderful brand.

[@Henrymorganjones]

They all look great. I wear a 35mm Nomos Metro Neomatik, which shares the DUW 3001 movement, on my 17cm wrist. I remember trying on the 39mm and it just felt too big and 'dinnerplate-y'. While it's a different model, I agree that most Nomos watches wear large because of their thin bezel and thin side profile. It's been 3 years of daily wear but I still smile every time I look at it. I can't recommend Nomos enough.

[@YoureTerrific]

That's a great piece.

[@jollyrob]

41 for me but I do admire watchmakers offering different size options of a particular watch - the Oris Aquis and Tudor black bay come to mind. For some it's a difficult choice though, one that must be carefully made.

[@SinnerAndSaint]

Nomos is a great brand! They actually have some hidden gems in their portfolio. I bought my 2nd Nomos about half a year ago after I sold my first one. And I think it's one of these gems - it's a 37 (!) mm Club Campus on their new metal bracelet, open caseback, neomatik movement 3001 AND 200 (!!) m of water resistance. For me it's the best combination of both worlds to have an modern, young & elegant watch but with seriously sporty perks. Btw. their "Nomos Swing System" is much more. In short: They produce EVERY part of this assortment themselves which makes them a serious movement maker. They wanted to be as independent as possible from the Swiss so they decided to produce these key parts of a movement completely on their own along with the technical university of Dresden. This shows imho that Nomos started to invest in their long-term future many years ago. They're here to stay.

[@Ibowers2]

Great video! I really do like Nomos and would like to buy one if not for the lug-to-lug length. I've tried on a few over the years and can't pull the trigger. I have the same complaint with Longines. The dial aperture is another measurement that is big for me. Watches like these have a large aperture, or glass size, and it's one measurement that I feel is valuable when picking out a watch. For example, the Rolex Sub at 41mm and the Rolex Explorer 36mm have nearly the same size dial aperture, or glass size, which is right around 30mm. I bet the 35mm Tangente is larger in dial aperture.

[@craig2100]

Yeah that 39 is looking righteous on your wrist. That said, I dig the date display on the 41. For me (a Nomos fan) I prefer the more integrated lugs of the Club and Zurich line. Speaking of which, I’d love to see your take on the Zurich World Timer. That’s A Nomos way out of the box. Anyway, great vid as always 😎👍🏼

[@dultanur]

Just got my wife a 33 for our anniversary (she totally loved it). I already love this thing and own a Club Campus Neomatik, but what's shocking is I can actually wear the 33 in a formal setting! Yes I have a tiny 6 point very little wrist, and love to wear tiny vintage pieces anyway. But man I'd never imagine a 33 fitting me. The take away is, this design must be tried on in different sizes before deciding which to go for. The dial is so big it looks like a bigger watch.

[@mracekproductions]

Lol in the 90s insecure man had to find other ways to feel better about themselves. 35mm looks great. Wonderful review as always mate

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks, Cap.

[@Nefville]

I'd just like to point out they made an inhouse automatic that is 6.9mm thick. That is insanely thin, man I wish they would sell their movements. Until they fix the lugs I'm afraid I just can't pull one off. And I have tried, oh how I tried.

[@pickles632]

Just as amazing video as usual!

[@tempuslatro]

Love the look. Which is why I have a Stowa Antea 39mm. Total goldilocks with the lugs at that diameter. The lugs give it the wrist presence to pull you into that austere bauhaus dial. The Stowa doesn't have an in house movement (which looks fantastic, points Nomos), but they do a nice job finishing the 2824 which makes it a impressive value option in my opinion. That being said, in total agreement if they made the Update in 39mm, I would be all over that watch. Seeing that date change sold me. Count me in for the 'flat circle' time cult. Where do I sign up? #neverforget

[@erich9882]

Searching hard for the right Nomos right now, my wife has a 36mm club campus and adores it.

I am

[@WeibenWang]

I have the 37mm Metro Gangreserve, which is as big as I would go on my 6.5mm wrist. It's already starting to have the dinner plate effect (or I cause it a frisbee). I also find the wire lugs far more comfortable than the long flat ones on other Nomos, which on me feel like a popsicle stick. At least on mine, the Swing System doesn't make for a particularly accurate watch. It runs up to 10 second a day slow, and how slow seems to vary a fair bit.

[@schoolispiss]

dang, a 6.5mm wrist... that's small

Fantastic videography and music as always Evan ...I even watched it twice. So that point about the weight: Even though my arms have been likened to twigs on occasion, I kinda like feeling a watch on my wrist. what say you?

[@craigwoolbert2443]

Yeah- Nomos are pretty great. Someday I will get one.

[@Konsaliki]

Being the 37 year old aesthetic dinosaur that I am, I will of course tell you how well the 35mm fits your wrist. So classy! However, the 38,5 is equally good looking on you. And I think the reason for this is exactly the controversial shape of the lugs; they do look kind of imposing/awkward, but maybe that's what helps pulling the different diameters closer together, visually. Btw: that kraftwerky background music is spot on!

[@YoureTerrific]

I agree, it's the classiest option. All this unfounded confidence.

[@Ashurus]

What length strap did you go with? My wrist is 6.5inches and if I flex it maxes out at 6.75 or so. I was thinking a 35mm with the 105mm/70mm (size small) strap.

[@jamespalsson746]

My wallet would be in trouble if Nomos fixed their lugs

[@jonparker1712]

35mm for my 7 inch, relatively round, wrist. They have a 33mm that I love as well.

[@typebflieger]

Even after viewing this video, and knowing Nomos has intentionally long lugs, people still think Nomos needs to “fix” their long lugs so they appear normal and average, like every other watch. The long lugs are a distinguishing feature and (as said in this video) you don’t buy the diameter that fits, you buy the LTL that fits. I’d argue that most people who hate the lugs wouldn’t buy a Nomos even if the lugs were average. Long lugs are here to stay. They’re as much a part of Nomos as Bauhaus-inspired minimalism.

I think all those people who complain about Nomos' lug-to-lug length are almost all looking at sizes that are too big for them. Nomos actually has very reasonable lug-to-lug lengths - just check your toxic masculinity at the door and try on their 35mm-37mm watches.

[@YoureTerrific]

I’m with you. Like I said in the video, a 41mm watch with a 49mm length is pretty standard for all brands and designs.

[@TheIceMOCHA]

exactly, 100% agree with you, ive seen too many people bitch about their lugs and im pretty sure they didnt even try it first.

The lugs are too big even with 35mm it looks odd.

I love the use of the dial's periphery for the "pointer" date function. I would love to see a watch company produce a triple calendar in this manner (perhaps in different sectors?) using the dial periphery for the day, date, and month.

[@YoureTerrific]

That’s a very cool idea. That must exist, right?

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

@@YoureTerrific Not to my knowledge. The only watch that comes to mind is something like the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph, but it displays the day, date, and month in standard windows at the top of the dial. I feel like Nomos could probably create a clever dial periphery indicator display for a triple date (and for much less than the Patek!).

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

@@YoureTerrific Oh, one other thing, since you mentioned disdain for date windows (I'm a proud member of the date window hater club). I'm waiting for a watch company to produce a watch movement with a crown pusher that would open/close a date window (at 6 o'clock of course). So you could push the crown pusher when you want to see the date, and then push it again to make the dial seamless and not show the date window. That would seem like the perfect solution to the ugly date window problem.

[@YoureTerrific]

I like that idea, but it’d be very hard to make seamless. But I can think of a few ways of making a closed window blend in.

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

@@YoureTerrific Yes, you're right. Making the window disappear and create a seamless look would be quite difficult, especially on non-black dials. This idea also makes me wonder why the concept of pushers/buttons isn't more broadly applied to aspects of dial appearance (instead of simply movement function). So many possibilities....

[@bernterenstra1742]

Am I crazy or is 280 dollars extra for a displayback way too much? Or is the movement without a displayback not decorated?

I actually don't know about the movements. I had assumed they're all decorated, but not I'm questioning everything.
