Why we carry it

A classic, seen in a deeper blue.

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 Midnight Blue Ref. 167 expands the house’s defining design with a deep blue dial, silver accents and the unmistakable angular architecture of the Tangente. At 38 mm, its larger proportions create greater presence while preserving the slender, disciplined character that has made the original a modern classic.

We carry it for collectors who appreciate enduring design with a contemporary edge — where Bauhaus clarity, refined colour and independent Glashütte watchmaking come together.

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.
