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.

A manufacture calibre where tradition meets innovation.
The DUW 4001 is a manually wound manufacture movement combining traditional Glashütte architecture with NOMOS’ proprietary engineering. Its three-quarter plate, Glashütte stopwork, tempered blue screws and fine ribbing and perlage are complemented by the NOMOS Swing System and DUW regulation system. Regulated in six positions with a 53-hour power reserve, it reflects NOMOS’ commitment to precision, efficiency and meticulous finishing.
