Thank you very much for this beautiful video, Britt. It was an absolute pleasure having you in Glashütte, and meeting you and James in person! 💗

[@stevenrichardson4928]

Hello Nomos, I love your designs! Britt mentioned your involvement in social causes. What causes do you support? Thanks again.

[@Nomosglashuette_official]

@@stevenrichardson4928 That’s correct. A partner for years is Doctors Without Borders. Together with them, we created a few special editions and with each purchase, donations for the Nobel Prize-winning organization are raised. Further, we support the Business Council for Democracy (BC4D), but above all locally: Financial support, with which we would like to appreciate the commitment of all volunteers, was provided to various organizations from all Glashütte districts, various sports clubs and the civil courage campaign in Pirna (Saxony), for example

[@drnick40]

I still love my Tangente 38. A symbol of simplicity and minimalism in watch design. Thanks Britt!

[@oh_io.watches]

I'm about a year in with the 37mm Petrol, and it has been a great watch to wear and enjoy. It sits flat on the wrist, it's lightweight, it's very comfortable, and the lume is actually very good. I can make adjustments to the bracelet in about 30 seconds when the temperature fluctuates (a frequent occurrence in Ohio), and the DUW-3001 is lovely to stare at when time allows. I also get a ton of compliments on the dial - as you said Britt, Nomos are masters of color! So cool to hear about your enriching trip to Glashutte and just how much these folks love the art of watchmaking 🙌

[@flop7217]

I'm about to buy one but i just can't decide on the dial polar or petrol. Both look so great

[@alphacause]

I have always found Nomos so minimalistic, and so I never found them to be worth the price point. These Nomos Club Sport watches, with their beautiful sunburst dial, certainly breaks the mold. This is a Nomos that I would consider buying. My only issue with it is the painted markers. To get that premium feel, and to justify that premium price, applied markers just seem more fitting. In any case, thank you, Britt, for bringing these gorgeous watch to our attention.

[@zogzog1063]

Agree. The penny finally dropped with Sinn and they now offer applied indices.

[@Justme0495]

I feel you. There are times I'm more interested im watches, than others. Sometimes these phases can go for a few months.

And than I'm suddenly all over this topic again 😅 Also I'm more interested in japanese and german watches, than swiss ones.. don't know why

[@Latharn]

Having also spent a week in Glashutte this past spring, your video brought back fond memories of strolling past Nomos HQ on the way to take the train to Dresden, of my visit to the German Watchmaking Museum, and browsing the selection of Nomos timepieces at their Kaufhaus in Glashutte. My souvenir of that memorable trip is a Tangente 38, and I heartily recommend to fellow watch enthusiasts that if you want one of their manual wind entry level models like I did, choose the exhibition case back - you won't regret it!

[@jameslloyd-wyatt]

I love the long lugs. As someone with a 20cm (7 3/4in) and rather flat wrist, their "extended" case is the only 39mm watch that looks like a watch rather than an enlarged freckle! Great vid Britt!

I like the new Nomos Kitten. Second favorite is the Club Sport being below the 50 mm lug to lug, which is the magic number for being wearable on a smaller wrist. Very well could be my first Nomos, I've been on the sidelines wanting one for four years now.

I've never wanted a bracelet on a watch, but seeing that Tabac version contrasted with metal is just beautiful and I completely get it now. Really well shot btw.

[@frogsplorer]

I think I like steel bracelets, especially in hot weather. The trouble is I need half links and tool-less microadjust. I don’t remember that problem when I was younger and slimmer but my wrist really varies depending on my temperature. I don’t know if it’s the total weight but I also prefer smaller watches on a bracelet. I’m so fussy. Mostly wearing a rubber strap at the moment

[@DK-pn8bd]

[@skandahooligan88]

I for one would be thrilled to see a return to the videos that you enjoy making, not the ones that feed the algorithm.

[@SuLu_XD]

I hear you on the clasp! What I've resorted to doing is just taking my watch off whenever I know I'll be sitting at my desk for more than a few min. It's not ideal and I'm also not the kind of person to put a watch in a safe, but I personally hate seeing scratches appear from things I know I could've avoided vs accidents or bumps from daily wear!

[@frogsplorer]

I haven’t had this problem but how about getting a spongy wrist rest?

[@SuLu_XD]

@@frogsplorer I had one but ultimately didn't like it because it trapped dead skin and moisture (gross and basically impossible to clean), I have a granite one currently that I just love the look and feel of but it's brutal on clasps and bracelets.

[@EggsOverCheesy]

If they are keen on keeping the lugs long, female end links would mitigate that well. For the strap models, my issue is just the gap between the strap and the case.

[@ShaunChee1998]

I totally get wanting to have a distinctive unique design feature that makes your brand more recognizable and associated with but the overly long lugs is not the way to go.

[@RobMyself]

Sheesh, your first mechanical watch was a Nomos? Lucky you!😊 I LOVE this brand. I can't decide which one I want, but I think it might be this one, but with the smoke dial. I'm really not much of a bracelet guy but I can always swap out the strap so that gives it so much more versatility. I'm new to this whole thing but there's something about that design language that speaks to me. I literally just got my first watch today and it's that El cheapo 1963. Hell, it was the price of my water bill so why not until I pull the trigger on something? There are so many options and this is making me crazy! Edit: I wish people would stop complaining about the lugs. It is not a bug, it is a feature. At least it is to me. I think they're awesome. If you don't like the lugs, then Nomos isn't for you. It's just that simple. (Not talking about you, Britt)😊

[@aleksandarbrzic8351]

This video of yours had a very similar effect to me like your visit to Nomos: I was just about to unsubscribe most of the watch channels and after listening to you, I filtered my anger to what matters most... And unsubscribed most of them so that I can appreciate the remaining really good ones even more in the future. Both Nomos AND you show that there is still that pioneering youtube experience out there to be had. It has just become so incredibly obscured that one loses one´s spirit once in a while... Happy to say that THIS "one" has found it again: if you ever think of why you bother with this work, thing about this message. Just simply THANKS.

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

Respect for them even making their own hairspring and balance. Not many watchmakers do that. Apart from long tooth lugs, cheap stamped clasp, and the subpar bracelet, they are great watches for the price. The Horween leather straps are good quality as well.

[@sonnygambhir6995]

That's not a stamped clasp, it's clearly milled. Look at old rolexes or orient bracelets for stamped clasps

[@msk3905]

New to watches and I am really digging this Nomos brand, what you get for the money is amazing. I am probably going yo buy their light grey Club next year (buying a Longines right now). I have the means to buy a Rolex but unlike my sister who just dropped $15k on one for the name I don’t need to brag to the world that I am successful, I just cannot see ever spending $15k on a watch when there are so many fantastic watches put there like these or others for a fraction of the cost.

[@oh_io.watches]

I own the 37mm version, and there is nothing subpar about the wearing experience of the bracelet. This watch is every bit as comfortable as a DateJust. Certainly a "glide lock" style micro-adjust system would be an upgrade, but I can't think of other brands at our below this price point offering on-the-fly adjustment - Tudor now has the T-Fit, but their prices have risen a bit higher than Nomos. The clasp is also definitely milled, although I agree scratches show easily on its polished surface. I just wanted to address those points, as I see overall you are praising Nomos which they absolutely deserve. As far as the lugs, that is part of their design language and is easily accounted for by going with a smaller case size.

[@67NewEngland]

- I like the watch but wish it had all brushed bracelet and clasp like an OP. I like how thin it is despite the see thru case back. Yes, I wish the lugs were shorter . I think it’s a lot of watch for the money.

No denying the quality and all that but the design is the biggest factor on if you like and want to wear a watch.

I find it funny that a brand is aware that many of their potential buyers and enthusiasts complain about the lugs, but yet they refuse to do anything about it.

[@tommy1505]

I can't share your enthusiasm on Nomos. The community has been criticizing the long watch lugs for a long time. Despite the company spokesperson's statements like "we continue to observe this and always keep our customers' wishes in mind," nothing seems to change. I personally believe that textile straps, for example on the Ahoi models, have no place on a watch that costs more than €3000. Regarding your last point, I think that political statements have no place in corporate communication. In the ongoing cultural battle, companies like Gillette, Disney, Target, or Budweiser felt the immediate backlash in sales after adopting a woke strategy. For instance, if the new model CLUB SPORT NEOMATIK 39 in TABAC, EMBER, and SMOKE is only showcased on a dark-skinned model, it's challenging for me to imagine how it would look on my arm. My suggestion would be to present the watches with models of various skin tones.
