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.

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.
