Why we carry it

The design that defines NOMOS.

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Ref. 139 distils the manufacture’s philosophy into its most recognisable form: a 35 mm case, precise typography, white silver-plated dial and tempered blue hands. Beneath its restrained exterior, the hand-wound DUW 4001 manufacture calibre brings traditional Glashütte architecture together with NOMOS’ own engineering.

We carry it for collectors who appreciate enduring design — where Bauhaus clarity, independent watchmaking and mechanical precision have become an icon in their own right.
