Ludwig 33

Ref. 244 · In the case
The NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 33 brings classical German watchmaking to a more delicate 33 mm profile, designed with elegant proportions for smaller wrists. Its white silver-plated dial, Roman numerals and tempered-blue steel hands create a refined, unmistakably traditional expression. Powered by the hand-wound NOMOS Alpha calibre, it pairs understated mechanics with enduring design and everyday elegance.

Why we carry it

Classical proportions, quietly considered.

The NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 33 Ref. 244 distils traditional watchmaking into an elegant 33 mm profile, with a silver-plated dial, Roman numerals and tempered-blue steel hands. Beneath its refined exterior, the hand-wound NOMOS Alpha calibre offers a pure, uncomplicated expression of mechanical watchmaking.

We carry it for collectors who appreciate thoughtful proportions and enduring design — where classical detail, understated mechanics and the traditions of Glashütte come together.

Ludwig 33 — movement
The movement · In-house built Alpha

The calibre that established NOMOS.

The Alpha is NOMOS Glashütte’s foundational hand-wound manufacture calibre, combining robust, reliable mechanics with the traditional architecture of Glashütte watchmaking. Its three-quarter plate, Glashütte stopwork, tempered blue screws and finely decorated surfaces showcase the manufacture’s commitment to precision and thoughtful finishing. Adjusted in six positions, it remains a defining expression of NOMOS’ independent approach to mechanical watchmaking.

For the life of the watch

A relationship, not a transaction.

Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.

i.
Service, organised through us

When the time comes, we arrange the full service through NOMOS Glashütte and handle the shipping both ways.

ii.
Straps & bracelets, for life

Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.

iii.
One person, not a call centre

You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.

Hold it once. Turn it over.

A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
