Why we carry it

Character, squared.

The NOMOS Glashütte Tetra Ref. 406 gives classic watchmaking a distinctly geometric expression, pairing its 29.5 mm square case with a clean silver-plated dial and tempered blue hands. Beneath its unconventional form, the hand-wound manufacture movement embodies the precision and traditional craftsmanship of Glashütte.

We carry it for collectors who appreciate design with conviction — where distinctive geometry, mechanical refinement and timeless German 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.
