Two Of The Classiest Dress Watches EVER? - Nomos Orion 38 & Cartier Tank Solo Luxury Watch Reviews

In today's video I review two very stylish and classy dress watches that I have always wanted to get my hands on. Firstly, the ultra contemporary minimalist, German made capolavoro that is the Orion by Nomos and then secondly, the iconic classic Tank by legendary Parisian luxury brand Cartier. Also don't forget check out my first publication on the outstanding website/watch blog "Theo and Harris," at the following link...

I almost bought both of these but went with a 1931 Reverso instead. I would own them all if I could! Love the Orion.

[@s2001-q9g]

Wow, a 1931 reverso. How’s it holding up??

[@vincenzostr4488]

Cartier is simply legendary. It was born as a watch for aviators

[@Unohdetutkasvot]

I have the Orion 35mm and I must say that this is the perfect watch even for a 1,93m guy. Small, light, accurate and really understating. I always questioned myself: what is the best diameter? On photos of myself I thought: 42 or 40mm. BUT: Every teenager can wear a cheap and "bling bling" 45mm watch but when you go in a meeting in your company in Saxony (thats where Glashütte is) you'll notice several very well dressed guys wearing Nomos. No big watches, always the smaller ones like 40 years ago. Thats pure class imo

[@anupmeshram3942]

Absolutely correct

[@jongseokyu3274]

Wow... I own both Nomos and Cartier Tank solo, And I love them. Thanks for reviewing my watches. Have a great day yall.

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

For a Bauhaus design, I can't get enough of the Nomos dial. The hour markers are exquisite. "Pure Class!" The Cartier dial must have been very futuristic looking in its time due to its "anamorphic" nature. Perhaps that is why it seems timeless.

[@forallthingsblack]

Wow, in no way I would've thought the Cartier had a more classic look than the speedmaster but after watching this I'll be damned... The Cartier is on the same level for legendary status, maybe even more!

[@lavykhurana]

honestly i love the cartier but i don't think it's a versatile piece

[@bv2225]

Love the Tank! In fact I'm just in the process of acquiring one! Thanks for the video!

[@94pbo]

Beauty is often in minimalism and harmony . The nomos is just perfect . On my wish list for next year . Germany : the other great country for watch lovers ! Thanks Tristano for this video .

[@mikec3454]

I absolutely love Nomos and look forward to adding one back into my collection. I only sold my Orion 35 a few years ago because I told myself I’d limit my collection to 2-3 nice pieces, unfortunately it wasn’t as versatile as some of my sport watches. I do have to disagree with you on size though, the Orion 33 or 35 is much better proportioned than the 38. Nomos watches wear larger due to their lug to lug and I believe dress watches should err on the smaller side, therefore being more discreet.

[@elisangelaregina2210]

The way that the glass on the Nomus seems to go right to the edge of the dial and the beautiful rounded edge to the case is absolutely stunning, I can,t think of a more elegant watch.

[@NutriBRO]

I got a nomos 35mm Orion for my graduation in 2013. I'll never sell it.

[@theurbangentry]

What a great graduation watch! Enjoy and wear it with pride my friend! Thank you Adam, Best regards, TGV

[@weerobot]

Both Pure Class...just got the Tank...it had to be done...such a Classic...

[@noice9709]

Super classy watches! You can truly see the quality in materials and elegance in design. Thanks for the great reviews of these awesome pieces.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Both look great but the simplicity of the Nomos really speaks to me. Thanks:)

[@theurbangentry]

Well, you have good taste my friend ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@MrRoyck10]

I love this solo episode of TGV watch review, Cartier solo Tank is the choice of the two, I would not mention Riverso purely because is considered a sports watch. Nomos looks Germanic and gets a thumbs up but A Lange holds the ace when it come to dress German watches. Another classic TGV review!

[@jhmsmarttv795]

Actually this is the Cartier Tank Solo Large version and it has indeed the Cartier Calibre 690. That is a good thing because that is an in-house quartz Cartier caliber with 8 rubies. The small model with the Cartier Calibre 157 is actually a 4 ruby movement, made by Ebel, and can be found in other watches as well. My wife just got this one but with the steel bracelet and she loves it.

[@BarracksSi]

Good info, thanks. Putting Cartier quartz back on my shortlist (which gets shorter and longer on the slightest whim!) for dress watches.

[@rossanderson517]

TGV - I bought a vintage Cortebert in the Spring. From the blue hands, sub second dial and gold hour markers, the Namos is the same design with very slight mods. Cortebert was a magnificent brand whose movements rivalled the best of the day. The brand disappeared as many did because of the quartz revolution. It keeps amazing time and rivals any of my watches. It's manual wind and has an impressive power reserve. It's a classic and because it's vintage, I dare say I prefer it. I got it for $100 Canadian and it was one of the best buys I have ever landed. Kudos to Cortebert. I'm proud to wear your legacy.

[@claudiobrt652]

Beautiful Nomos. I really like the Orion, in particular the 35mm and same colour scheme as the one reviewed. I think Nomos is really going places. Goldsmiths has recently started stocking them, so I might go this weekend and try them on. Thanks for the review and I hope your better half enjoys the classy Cartier!

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Nice to see dress watches being showed. The Nomos looks great.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Bob! :D Best regards, TGV

[@MaxPDavies]

Paused the video to read the article. Very good and well written - laughed out loud at one point as well as being thought provoking! Top job TGV! Thank you!

[@theurbangentry]

So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you Max, very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@jmcrofts]

Nomos is awesome!!! so jealous

[@johannes8990]

Great work as usual, TGV! I got myself the Junghans Meister Chronoscope (blue dial and cognac-colored leather strap) a half year ago and I'm a fan of dress watches ever since.

[@howardkim2067]

Never thought about both of them but now I want both even to give as a gift!!!! Ahhh TGV, you are terrible for my wallet!!! Love it! Thank you for the enthusiasm brother!

[@realblackbetty2204]

Love this tank. So elegant!!!!

[@theurbangentry]

You always had great taste Sam ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@andyyoung6073]

Thanks for the great vid as always TGV! Just bought a Tank Must for my wife. I love your comments about not really needing to pay any more for a top notch watch. I think there is much to gain from entry level offerings; I wear an OP39 2018 white dial, and the wife now has the Tank in steel strap. Simple. Perfect! I thought Cartier always had its name in one of the dial numerals? On my wifes it is in the 10 numeral.

[@MarcosWanlessyoutube]

Thanks Cartier and TUG for this video. More that simply design: symbolism and perception are the elements that make a Cartier. The symbol of Cartier is unique, it's recognition trough modern culture and time is remarkable.

[@adrianapostolov5385]

Usually I don't like Nomos but this Orion is one hell of a watch. Plain, simple - just pure German precision. The Cartier is one of the classiest watches I've ever seen and that sapphire on the crown - just pure class.

[@facebiter]

you look so happy and passionate, really happy to be back, always a pleasure to see someone so "into" theyre field. big thumbs up as always. seiko spirit solar radio wave..... on the cards sir ?

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much! I would LOVE to review that Seiko, good choice, I will see if I can get my hands on one. Best regards, TGV

[@Wertsicherung]

I was very pleased that you showed us the two wonderful watches. But I was also happy that the long and strenuous video format was interrupted by the advertising.

[@timcasey52]

Great video and impeccable timing - I knew of Nomos but just this previous weekend I stumbled upon a watch shop in Helsinki with the largest selection of Nomos I'd seen. It gave me the chance to rely spend some time trying them on and getting up close and personal - so impressed - love the function following form ethos and the high level quality with clearly lots of time spent getting the smallest details perfect - I now want one - I particularly like the font and sizing of the name of the dial and just the overall Teutonic vibe - big fan - thanks TGV - really nice to hear my impressions echoed - hope you are recovering well and thanks for continuing with your first class content - peace & blue skies - Tim

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Tim, very kind comment, peace and blue skies, just love that! As for Nomos, absolutely! Something one needs to see in the flesh to fully understand. Best regards, TGV

[@paulmccartney1538]

I got my father’s victorinox officers ratchet bezel watch on my birthday.loving it.

[@robertc9155]

Nomos! Hands down!

[@wojciechpietka5329]

Cartier, even though it is a quartz, look unbelievably classy. It´s different, with the case and the numerals....just amazing. TGV you´re the best when it comes to showing us watches that range from Squale, Sinn to Rolexes, Omegas and this amazing Cartier. will need to look for a used one. Best, W.

[@ryanmanak4129]

Another great video TGV. I really love that Cartier just emits class.

[@janwillem1246]

The Cartier Tank is timeless!

[@joaovitoramaralsilva9745]

Woman coordinates watches to what they are wearing. We coordinate what we are wearing to the watch. That's the difference!! hahahahaha

[@theurbangentry]

LOL totally!!!! But I am not a brave as you to admit it! Nice one Joao, top comment! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@therealwig9662]

Lol

[@Janoeliop]

That's why I stopped wearing brown dress shoes to match my black leather Max Bill :D

[@jalitvin2719]

По утрам , надев часы ⌚ , не забудьте про трусы👙 . Ха-ха-ха ! 😂

[@dufferjuice]

Nice juxtaposition of a new classic and timeless masterpiece. The Nomos Orion 38 is the perfect dress watch to me (the 1989 is my personal favorite). It is classic and modern at the same time. Of course, the Cartier Tank is a definitive dress watch. Great reviews TGV!

[@tc11228]

I bought the Tank Solo 18 months ago on a stainless bracelet. It is a quality piece and gets a lot of attention from others. It started a love affair with the brand. I bought my wife the LOVE bracelet and put the Santos XL and Cartier Roadster on my list. I like the Nomos but I have a laundry list of watches in the queue so I will hold off for now.

[@hellotabasco]

Excellent video TGV! I also have a tank on my collection, so it was nice to know a more about it... Thanks for all the good work! Cheers!!!

[@christopherorford7073]

Love both but the Nomos just pips it for me, once again a fantastic video Tristano, keep up the good work!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Christopher, I don't blame you, its such an elegant piece. Best regards, TGV

[@dateacha77]

Nomos all the way, the Bauhaus design, the horological cerdit, the (still) down to earth prices for that kind of precision, unbeatable value for money!

[@MrBrianc1975]

your article on theo and harris was a superb read. it felt like I was there!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Brian, really flattered and happy to hear that. Best regards, TGV

[@jls5984]

Great pair TGV! The Nomos is a nice choice for a men's dress watch although I'm thinking about a SARB-035 instead. The Cartier, albeit unisex, is in my opinion, a great choice for a woman and I'm quite sure your wife absolutely loves it! the Cartier is, I think, too feminine for me to feel comfortable wearing. But you've just given me an idea of the perfect gift for my wife this Christmas with the Cartier and I'm 90+% sure she would love the exact size, case color and strap color of your wife's watch! Thank You so much for your work especially this video as you have solved a bit of Christmas shopping for me at the same time. All The Best!

[@mattdicks6251]

I have to say, I'm looking a LOT of watches for my wife but somehow I keep coming back to the Tank, its elegant & understated. I have an auto Omega & it drives me up the wall how I have to set the time & wind it every time I want to ware it. I'm certain my wife is not going to want a watch that has to be "set up" whenever she wants to ware it.

[@Delisk909]

I’m just in love with the tank 😍

[@fahim328]

Thanks for the review TGV! I'm looking to buy an Orion soon myself, do note that there are fantastic German sellers on Chrono24 selling for just over 1600$, brand new. An absolute steal.

[@theurbangentry]

WOW, that is a Bargain!!! I would go for it. Let me know how it goes, great comment btw, thank you Fahim, Best regards, TGV

[@yogishraval6301]

With smaller watches back en vogue, do you feel the 35mm Orion would be better suited to our skinny wrists? I apologize I'm a bit late with this but: great to have you back and to see you doing so well.

[@yogishraval6301]

TGV, disregard that 35 mm comment. I jumped the gun before I finished the whole review, lol.

[@bearclooneywatches4186]

cartier is such an icon. Nomos was completely new to me and I enjoyed your review. Great job TGV. BIG LIKE

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Mike! :D Best regards, TGV

[@ryanmead3939]

Hi tgv this vid PURE CLASS the two pieces where fantastic, its funny because I've never really been a dress watch man but that could be changing lol, hope you are well thank you for this review, all the best your friend Ryan. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Ryan :D Doing very well actually, after a difficult start to the month, feeling great. Hope you are well my friend. O&U! Best regards, TGV

[@DMJ1978]

Both are really wonderful. I do love the german watches, though. But the square tank just oozes style, class and I dig the way it suits both sexes. (As does the Nomos)

[@clarea-s6779]

I love both of these and have the midsize Cartier in gold. My sister has the Nomos Tangente.

[@gomtv5383]

Love the Orion! Totally agree with you on the strap, would love to see it on different colored suede straps!

[@mmmmmmm3246]

Do you think the Cartier Tank is too old looking for a 20 year old? I really love the tanks simple design, in a way it's almost rugged and dressy at the same time. It seems like it would work well with simply casual wear, and classier wear as well. Also, do you think the Automatic is worth the price, or to just go with the Quartz?

[@timickan]

If you have a 9.5" wrist then go with the auto, otherwise look to the small or large. Remember that a Tank should be worn small - maybe two entire lug to lug lengths across the top of the wrist is about right. Definately not too old for a 20 year old. Wear what you like, be confident and nothing will look out of place. Remember that there are people out there that wear Submariners and such with shirt and tie, so anything goes!

[@Tigerkill3r]

I got almost exactly this Nomos watch. It's the one with silver watch hands though and the Date function. It is truly a masterful piece and fits to almost everything. And it even apreciated a bit in priece :P Great watch, can only recommend!

[@IgorVonE]

The Nomos is a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@theurbangentry]

Indeed, Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@Amen20]

Nice vid, as usual. Love the Nomos, it's a perfect homage to Stowa and Lange. As for Cartier thats as classy as it gets, gonna get my wife one of those !

[@GarrySkipPerkins]

Congratulations on the article. I am especially impressed given your dyslexia. Well done.

[@mitondo6123]

100 years from now, the Nomos will still be beautiful.

[@SteelArtschannel]

Oh my god, that NoMoS is amazing ! Just fell in love with it ... Pure class !!!! The cartier is gorgeous too but already new about it ;-)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, I must admit, I did a bit too, they are even better in person! Best regards, TGV

[@chrisd3829]

Great video TGV! So nice to see the Nomos make an appearance on your channel finally! Now its time for me to go see one in person. I do really like the tangente also. Would you call that a dress watch? same size as orion but def more contemporary. The tank is beautiful! I took my fiance to look at Cartier and she liked the Ballon Bleu but really liked the Cie' Its between that and a datejust for her

[@AFRCPE]

best tank review ever!..

[@paulgraham1465]

Hi TGV. Have you done any more articles on watches? Thanks!

[@demonstructie]

TGV, hope you're well after your recent health ordeal. If you do another Affordable Alternatives video, please consider doing one for the Tank!

[@sk8brdninja746]

The NOMOS IS JUST SO clean , would notice that from a mile away. Also you have the classiest channel out there. lol

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much, its so clean it almost make ons want to dress better just to wear it. Best regards, TGV

[@Sichelschnitt]

I agree that the Nomos Orion is one of the most classy dress watches *ever*. However, IMO this only goes for the 33 and 35mm version. The Nomos Orion 38 is IMO way too large for a classic watch. Additionally, the proportions of the watch differ with it's size, the 38 looks a lot less harmonic to me. Still, it is a beautiful peace and a great bargain with an in-house movement. Keep up the good work! Regards!

[@DamonXWind]

I took a trip to new York a few weeks ago for some shows and museums. On my way I stopped in some of the high end boutiques and grabbed some catalogues. at the same time I did a bit of watch spotting, especially on the train, I saw a Cartier Tank, a seamaster 300, and a pretty heinous replica submariner in the wild, among some others. I have to say the Cartier looked better finished at a glance than anything else I saw outside of the actual watch boutiques. This was really surprising to me but it's definitely a stunning piece.

[@pudgeotamus4387]

No fake account here Bobby, just another watch lover!

[@Simonsboxster]

Will be getting my partner a Tank for her next big birthday - thanks for the close look TGV! :)

[@romanopeterj]

I’ve had my eye on the Cartier Tank MC in blue which is bigger. I also love the Santos.

[@JesusAl65]

I hope to own that Nomos model someday soon. Great review as usual. Well done TGV.

[@Speedy-gm7fu]

Thanks TGV, now I need to buy a Nomos, they are gorgeous.

[@mikemantho9426]

Another great video TGV! I ordered a 35mm Orion last night after viewing this video, it's a stretch financially, but the watch is so beautiful, so simple, I had to have it. I'm hoping the 35 is the right size, I may have to move up to the 38. I ordered the identical white, with gold batons and blue hands. Just gorgeous!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Mike, what can I say? Congrats and good for you! I think I might eventually get one too in that size. So glad to hear, I am sure you will LOVE it. Please let me know how you get on. Enjoy! Best regards, TGV

[@mikemantho9426]

+The Urban Gentry Tristano, I definitely will, it comes on Monday!

[@mikemantho9426]

+The Urban Gentry The Nomos came today and while it was beautiful I definitely need the 38mm, it appeared tiny on my smaller wrist and I just could not enjoy its beauty at the smaller size. I needed more of it. That said, it was amazingly light and thin. It compared well to my father's Tissot automatic from 1947, maybe a touch larger. So back it goes and I'll order the 38!

[@Turiboy77]

Just ordered the Orion from Germany. So excited!

[@johnviano2312]

Hi TGV - The Nomos is nice and a strong candidate for my collection as well. The Cartier is beautiful and always on my wish list when I found out Cary Grant had one. Pure Class! Cheers!

[@theurbangentry]

Cary Grant is such a stylish chap, you said it, pure class!!! Thank you John, Best regards, TGV

[@rickmarsh571]

Another great video TGV! The Cartier is to die for..love tank watches (old Gruen curvex) quintessential dress watch! The nomos a little too "sterile"for me Although I too believe design is often what you can take away from something not what you can add!

[@84pulp]

Two excellent choices and I don't think anyone could go wrong with either. While it is apples and oranges, I would have to give the edge to the NOMOS because it has something incredibly rare at its price point - a well finished and subjectively attractive movement! I must confess that I am biased towards the German three-quarter plate construction though.

[@rmoraespinto]

Excellent choices. Both watches are quite classy! Nomos is one of those brands that should go up in desirability and, of course, price.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Ricardo, Best regards, TGV

[@ghostface2222]

great review tgv. I really liked that Cartier. powerful.

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Hi TGV, Thank you very much for doing an episode with more dressier watches. I like both of them. As you know, I'm owning the Orion 38 date. The reason why I paid the higher price, was the blank spot at 6 o'clock! I couldn't stand it. Why does Nomos forgo an hour marker? Maybe a fraction shorter than the others. But of course I'm not sad to own the date version. The "television" date is great. It is huge! I've got no problems to read it - even in bad lighting situations. I like the Orion more than the more versatile Ahoi. And I should have bought the Orion instead of the Ahoi. I wouldn't have the struggle to sell the Ahoi now... ;) A colleague of mine owns a Cartier. And he has a very good taste. I like the Tank a bit better than the one of my colleague. But I would prefer a mechanical. There is one thing I don't understand: Why the Roman 4 is printed with four bars (it's possible to do it like this) but the 9 is printed as "IX"? It should be "VIIII" - shouldn't it? Best regards, Claus

[@MyGoshua]

I see what you say about the 6 o'clock on Nomos watches, but the large date window seems to slightly clutter the lower half of the dial for me. What about the Orion suits you more than the Ahoi? Do you simply prefer dressier pieces? From ablogtowatch: "It is really a matter of aesthetics and visual symmetrical balance. Someone a long time ago, noticed that using that for 4 o'clock not only made a dial look visually better, but helped legibility when looking at the dial from different angles. It is called a "watchmaker's four," and it's used for those reasons." A pleasure as always Claus, and sorry to hear the Ahoi isn't being shifted. Soon I hope! Josh

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Hi Josh, it's just a matter of personal taste. The Orion is such a classy watch. So thin and light. I would keep the Ahoi, because it's so versatile (combo of sports and dress watch with a water resistant of 200m). But I would like to get the Oyster Perpetual and have to sacrifice the Ahoi.

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

That great moment when you're really early to a TGV video :D Nothing better! The Tank is a beauty, I remember seeing one in person, truly a classy watch! Takes a real man to wear such a watch :) I'll probably get a lot of flack for saying this. But that Nomos reminds me a MUCH better, stylish and classy Daniel Wellington lol. In the terms of simplicity and just how clean the dial is. Hope no one bites my head of for making such a comparison :D

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, totally understandable, would be really cool to get them side by side for a comparison. Thank you Kibby, hope your on the mend. Best regards, TGV

[@paredair]

Very impressed by the Orion. I think the strap suits it - it seems to maintain the 'bauhaus' aesthetic...but you do have a knack with different straps TGV!

[@noahnoah9274]

First of all great video tgv as always. What watches would you recommend for someone who works a heavy job e.g. constuction, mechanic, etc.? I have a g shock but would like to know what other options are out there other casio?

[@theurbangentry]

Great question, I would stick to Quartz, my first and most predictable choice is of course my flight master but there are tons of great Quartz Seiko and Citizens that would do well, I might have to do a video on this. Top 5 beaters? Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@noahnoah9274]

+The Urban Gentry That would be awesome!!, Thanks for the response.

[@arthurwatts1680]

Nomos has a similar 'sleeper' appeal to my favorite watch (Grand Seiko Snowflake), with a very different aesthetic. The snobs are welcome to their Rolex collections - vive le difference ;) Thanks for the vid.

[@bighands69]

Rolex make great watches because they are true sports watches. Every one of Rolex's watches excluding the Cellini can all be taken diving because they all have a screw down crown. Even a $30,000 day date could be taken diving if you are mad enough or rich enough not to care. Rolex like Seiko, Nomos, Patech and JLC produce excellent high end watches. Rolex are very popular because the brand has been in development for the modern world in the last 60 years.

[@pegipoi]

Duuude. You got some best intro's. You say you doing some producer or music stuff back in the days, i can see. Can you do some mix of them all 😊🤟

[@Eleysia1981]

Some of the older Nomos movements such as the Alpha found in the Orion were based on the old Peseux 7001 movement, but make enough changes to probably class it as there own. Newer movements however are fully designed and built in house like the Epsilon and Zeta as well as the Xi and the brand new DUW 3001. FYI, that strap on the Nomos is one of the best leather straps coming from the Horween leather company. Very tough and gets better and better with age. Lovely brand and lovely watches

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much :D Best regards, TGV

[@Milofchg]

Very classy Cartier!!!! I was just looking at them online. It seems like they offer a few that look the similar yet different reference models. The size difference varies just under 3-5 mm on the collection. The Tank Solo is surprisingly affordable for the name itself. For an extra hundred bucks difference you can get a larger quartz or mechanical. Prices are almost the same for all Solo collection versions. Either way I think the Solo collection is what Cartier is famous for, outside the watch world. I might have to reconsider a Tank Solo as a future go to dress watch. Forget the Reverso LOL

[@brendanleadbeater9400]

I love your channel! Its very informative! I just started getting into the world of quality built watches and happened upon your channel which I recently subscribed to. QUESTION! Being that I am an Architect and designer, I have fallen in love with the simplicity and clarity of the German/Bauhaus designs. I am currently weighing the options between various Nomos watches and Junghans Max Bills. I would like to keep my budget +-$3,000. I currently wear a Braun Ceramic BN0171 in gray and while I LOVE the simplicity and modern feel to it, I would like to upgrade to a higher quality watch. I would prefer a mechanical watch and that's where the Nomos originally caught my attention as it crafted with an in-house movement. I also know the Max Bills essentially originated the Bauhaus watch design which I love as well. What are your thoughts? Perhaps this could be a topic of discussion in one of your upcoming videos? Thanks for all the insight, time and effort you put forth into the world of watches!

[@phoeNYkx]

Brendan Leadbeater Drawback of Junghans Max Bills are their crystals which are not sapphire. If you can live with that risk, I'd rate Junghans slightly higher because of price point and history associated with them. Also if you're going for a Junghans, get the one with numerals to differentiate yourself from the bloke on the street flashing a DW watch.

[@jimcurry3906]

no hesitation i Will go for nomos

[@theurbangentry]

You cant go wrong, enjoy! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@user-uk5wr1fw5e]

What a fantastic review! Thank you. Nomos seems to have AR coating. Does the Tank have AR coating? It doesn't look like it does.

[@cab1024]

I once bought my mother a Black Sabbath album for Christmas. It was the only one I lacked. It's become family lore.

[@BLKMeSa]

Love the Bauhaus design of all Nomos pieces. Oh and don't think I missed that Godfather quote near the end of the video TGV!!

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, Thank you Jan-Pierre ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@fb8568]

There are a mechanical movement version of Cartier tank which is a little bit smaller I think. I just can't stand a quartz movement. However it looks really nice in quartz.

[@markusrokk]

Absolutely loved the intro!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much :D Best regards, TGV

[@Lunomaru]

I want a Nomos Tangente so BAD. What a beatiful watch, the true bauhaus. I gotta make money. The orion is pretty amazing also. I wonder which is best.

[@reverselee3218]

I'm not the biggest fan of the nomos, but the Cartier is very nice. I'm excited for the Oris moonphase review!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Lee, that review is up next! :D Best regards, TGV

[@NationalParksArtist]

Nice video, TGV. I do have to say that I disagree with you about the Nomos strap. I see where you're coming from, but if one is selling a Bauhaus styled watch, it needs to come on a simple, quality strap. It's really, IMO, the appropriate strap for the design.

Very true, I can totally understand that. Might have to swap them out before I return it and see how it goes. Thank you my friend, Best regards, TGV

The Cartier tank is one of the most iconic watches ever created...Nomos is ok, but it is so boring it resembles a kitchen wall clock, with no pedigree. Excellent video as always.
