Modernism, made mechanical.
The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Date Ref. 1102 brings a distinctly urban expression to independent German watchmaking, pairing avant-garde design with thoughtful mechanical engineering. Its dynamic dot indices, sculpted lugs and clean proportions give the watch a character all its own, while the in-house DUW 4601 calibre adds a practical date display and 52-hour power reserve.
We carry it for collectors who appreciate contemporary design with substance — where architectural thinking, mechanical precision and Glashütte craftsmanship come together.
A date calibre where innovation meets Glashütte tradition.
The DUW 4601 is a hand-wound manufacture movement showcasing NOMOS’ proprietary Swing System, blue balance spring and elegantly skeletonized balance cock. Its traditional Glashütte three-quarter plate is finished with fine sunbeam ribbing, while the integrated date mechanism offers convenient quick adjustment and a 52-hour power reserve. A considered blend of technical innovation and meticulous Saxon finishing.

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.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through NOMOS Glashütte and handle the shipping both ways.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
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.
