Absolutely. I thank the Watch Gods that Nomos doesn't make a dive watch - because everyone else does and they all basically follow the same design.

@jail13ot63 2 жыл бұрын

Their “it” factor is unassuming quality. Modest precision. Elegant simplicity. I like their style. Flashy dive watches are a bit loud for my taste.

@Tonysoprano497 2 жыл бұрын

Think you are perhaps missing the point here . They have a very defined design language and choose to be different from the masses this is the whole point of the brand . Why would they produce mainstream sports watches which essentially would be betraying their identity . If people don’t like the lugs or how the watch sits on the wrist this is fine but they should then choose another conformist brand . Love them or loathe them but what makes them so important in the watch world is that they do things differently and don’t follow the masses . There is such a complete and utter lack of imagination with watch brands so any brand who walk a slightly different path should be appreciated..

@bucknut2000 2 жыл бұрын

I think they dont care to be mainstream, they have a point of view and stay with it. If they made traditional sport watch designs it kinda dilutes the brand, like sell outs.I think the Ahoi, and the club, and the Orion are pretty nice. I thought they were quite cheap looking at first but when I started seeing them in stores and on peoples wrist “ out in the wild”, I changed my mind.

@MrBacchus18 2 жыл бұрын

@typebflieger 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. When I hear people complain about Nomos, they list a series of design choices that are essential to the brand. It makes me think they should just buy another brand that suits their taste.

@starwf07 2 жыл бұрын

Agree that it is most definitely by choice. Their watches all stay decidedly on the side of classy, simple, elegant, and tasteful - even their "wilder" models like the Ahoi and Club. I personally think (and I am sure there are a number of other people that would agree) that a lot of "sport" watches can look a bit tacky and gaudy in their attempt to be flashy. I would assume that Nomos are simply uncompromising when it comes to maintaining that elegant aesthetic. Maybe it's a bit old-fashioned, but I personally appreciate it.

Most simple questions to counter what the video creator is saying: have you ever seen a Philippe Dufour, a Vianney Halter or any similar wristwatches in the wild ? and watch shows don't count.. right, probably never. Second question, talking about "Brand ambassadors", other than mainstream brands such as Breitling, Omega, Rolex etc... (ah yes and Richard Mille who was able to explode his average looking pieces in price due to good marketing), do you know of any really valuable brand who has them? who is the brand ambassador of Lange u. Söhne ? a brand which is something like 1000 levels above Rolex (for those in the knows, not "rich look like" wannabes), right... they don't have one... and that is just one tiny example.. You are missing the point of why Nomos is trying to be more like Lange and less like Rolex... as a young brand, it will pay off big time for them 20-30 years from today... everybody in the watchmaking "know" knows that brands such as Rolex rely on heavy marketing, sponsorships, movie features and artificial scarcity in their sales to pump up the perceived value of their watches ( I say "perceived" since a submariner absolutely does not worth 15K euros)

Initially, for a long time I thought nomos is too simple and boring from all the pictures and videos i've seen, and such plain design its a little expensive. But after i went down to take a look and hold it in person, it actually feels great and looks very beautiful. I ended up buying one for myself. For those saying it looks boring, i would recommend you seeing it and feel it , picture cannot do justice, take a look at the movement decoration too, it might change your opinion.

That is exactly what the Bauhaus philosophy is about. It sees elegance in simplicity, minimalism, and functionality. Nomos watches effectively communicate this visual language through their design, as they embrace these characteristics of Bauhaus design when creating their timepieces.

Last I heard they actually sell more units than any other German watch brand, so I think whatever they're doing is working. [disclaimer: I can't recall that source, so...] Anyway, I'm super happy for them to remain focused on watchmaking and thoughtful design and stay clear of brand ambassadors and 'it' factors. Watchmaking and subtlety in design *are* their 'it' factors, and that's plenty.

This format is complimentary to your reviews and I hope you do more of this in the future. I agree that Nomos needs more diversity in its collection. That said, I hope they don’t start doing typical genre watches like Dive watches with rotating bezels, etc. We have enough of that in the market and it would dilute the brand. Nomos needs to be Nomos. That means ignoring the haters who ask them to use shorter lugs, more complicated or bold designs, and watches with rotating timing bezels. Nomos would look like so many other brands if they listened to these complaints. These “flaws” are intentional design choices, not mistakes, and they are essential to the Nomos identity. Why should a watchmaker compromise it’s identity to appease people who don’t really want a Nomos? It’s better to embrace your identity and build a highly engaged and passionate customer base instead of trying to appeal to everyone. Let the haters buy a Rolex knock-off on Ali Express.

Ironically, these are all the reasons why I like Nomos. I *do not* want a sports diver watch. I *like* the fact that its a iykyk watch brand amongst the watch geeks, but not everyone. And a brand ambassador isn’t indication of quality or the brands success…. Lululemon is able to be a successful athleisure clothing company without brand ambassadors, and that business model works for them - and makes Nike very jealous! 😂

Seems all these points are way out of left field. These points are more about popularity, style, and status, and less about the craftsmanship and quality of Nomos watches. The Nomos brand has a style that works and I'm glad they stick with it, and not try to be like other watch brands.

They just don't get into the marketing bandwagon as the other brands. But, oh boy, the value you get from these watches! I have a Nomos, and I don't mind at all if they don't go "next level." Otherwise, we Nomos lovers would just get sucked into the marketing sheenanigans the other "next-level" watches are involved in, and we wouldn't be able to afford it. I'm actually happy that I'm the only person I personally know who has a Nomos.

@Harald_Saller 9 ай бұрын

If you know the history of Nomos, you'll understand that they've always followed a clear path that diverges from the mainstream. Nomos is committed to the Bauhaus style, and minimalist forms are their trademark. Some might call it boring, but that also applies to a significant portion of the population who don't want to stand out from the crowd. However, Nomos, with the Autobahn (which I own), has a very unique model that can't be found in terms of its design anywhere else. I also prefer it when there are no dive watches rather than having another one that looks exactly like all the others. That's boring. In 32 years, Nomos has managed to become one of the most successful German watch brands. It's remarkable when you consider that it all started in an apartment in Glashütte, and at the beginning, they had to share the telephone line with the neighboring snack stand.

@Not_me9791 Ай бұрын

Man, I just subscribed to your channel! Dont make me regret it!! Ofc Nomos is different, that’s why they are different! You say they all look the same and you ask them to do an identical divers watch!

@user-iu1ru1qz7u 8 ай бұрын

Nomos is fantastic because they are the way they are. They are understated elegance, the anti hype. The most I could agree with is slightly more variatey/choice within their existing watches(color and material) and accessories(straps). And on having ambassadors. Chosen wisely they always bring a good image for the brand. I actually like the Ahoi because it's nothing like my seamaster. The autobanh is weak though, seemed fun at first, but it's too gimmicky and hard to read, I'd be for ditching that design and having something else in it's "sporty" place.

I totally agree with your points. Although I do like the Autobahn, the rest look pretty much the same except for dial colors and round / square cases. But I do know someone who owns one - me! I just received my Club Sport Neomatik 42 Date Blue and so far I love it, other than the length of the name. Maybe the fact that its on a bracelet with fitted (normal) end links and not just the straight springbar cover. Also, I think a lawyer friend of mine wears one, based on the looks, but I keep forgetting to ask him to show me his watch. Happy New Year and all the best to everyone.

Club models have a shipping time of 6 months right now. It doesn't seems like to me they have a marketing problem, especially if you take into consideration the size of the company and their in-house production capacity. Also their line is improving gradually with absolutely original new designs (ie. Autobahn) while staying true to their bauhause identity, which of course not everybody's cup of tea. Lastly I believe they have the "it" factor: the bauhaus on great value and quality.

I have a baume mercier hampton in a brown dial, an oris big crown in 38mm w small diamonds on it w a white lacquer dial no complication, a gevril wall street in all green bezel and dial, and a nomos Tetra in olive. I like unique and earthy color tones. Only watch I have that mainstream knows and wears is a tag heuer aquaracer. But even that one is a gold brown dial. I dislike anything popular like blue divers or brands everyone gets these days like a tudor or omega. I don't want to have what everyone is trying to keep up with the joneses with.

The main problem is that it's too expensive!!! Most people just don't associate this minimal/Bauhaus design style with high end luxury price. I love the Minimatik, it's so playful and unique. But I just can't picture myself spending over $3,500 on it unless I win the lottery.

@roamy3605 2 жыл бұрын

Yes Oleg: You have stated exactly what many of us have thought for a long time. Of course Nomos should keep most of their classics that put them on the map. And they have been putting out a few more "sport" Club models which I like. But I think it's time for them to give us a few new models with bulked up the cases, lugs, and more of a bezel, while retaining the Nomos aesthetics. I think Nomos is close to exploding in popularity. That is if Nomos really wants that.

@JapanJacques 2 жыл бұрын

Makes sense how these are ways in which they could go more mainstream, but I think that they’re sticking to their principles and avoiding that quite deliberately. With many other watch brands essentially converging into the sports watch segment in recent years, I think the industry as a whole can be missing out on true variety as long as individual brands narrow their scopes to fit what’s popular. While larger, dive and sports watches are big now, who’s to say that in 10 years, the industry might not be headed in a direction that’s wholly similar to where NOMOS has been sticking to their guns? Also, given that they are a small independent, I don’t think they’d be able to feasibly scale to match a mainstream level of demand, and even if they could it would take a decade or two to get to that level of production volume. All in all, I have not convinced myself to buy a watch above about $500 yet, but the price of a second-hand NOMOS is quite appealing to me. I am certainly considering one in the near future.

I got a Club Campus 38 silver dial, sapphire back. Lots to like - beautiful case, gorgeous movement - but .. 1) The numbers in the minutes and second tracks are ridiculously small. 2) The minute hand feels too long in comparison with the hour hand. 3) The silver dial with the grey hands has very little contrast, so it's harder to read than it should be. 4) Most important, a brand new watch came to me running 30 seconds short a day, rather than the better than 10 seconds promised on their website.

I spent two years going back and forth on what my first luxury watch would be. I couldn't find anything that checked all the boxes in my price point. Over the summer I finally purchased the black dial 42mm club sport on the old style bracelet. My only hesitation was the lugs, but they proved to not be as big of an issue as I had expected (thanks to me having flat wrists I guess). It's the perfect every day watch for me, and I will never sell it. I think it's okay that Nomos is doing their own thing, and I also think it's okay to criticize them where they fall short. Being a blind fanboy doesn't help anyone, but giving the company feedback on what the community wants can't hurt. Great video and valid points! My only major disagreement is the value retention: I don't plan on selling the watches that I purchase, so it doesn't matter to me.

Anonymity is the best advertisement for Nomos. Few people know that this is one of the few brands that offers only its own mechanisms (I know only 7 brands that only have their own mechanisms). And the last and perhaps the most important thing is that the russians do not buy them. Because most cannot afford them, and those who can afford them choose much more expensive brands.

You are totally right about this brand.

The fact that Nomos watches are not popular is an advantage. Nobody will try to rob you.

I want to like the look of Nomos watches, but I can't seem to like them enough to seriously consider buying one.

yeah I definitely like these brand discussion type episodes. All the points you make are valid...and you didn't even have to bring up the elephant in the room. The over-sized lugs. They have got to re-think that approach.

Just when I thought we’d get one Nomos comments section without a mention of the long lugs… ;-)

Your video is dated though only a year old. Apparently they are selling more than they produce. You see it in the out of stock notices and the wait times. Personally I am glad they don't have a version of the Submariner.

It appears you have no comprehension of the zeitgeist of Nomos. They aren't trying to be Tudor or Omega. For starters, they make only 2,000 watches a year; the others make at least 10 times that many or even more. They don't want to be just another brand like the others. I LIKE the fact that I'll probably never see another "in the wild." Call me a snob but when I'm wearing my Tangente, I like knowing that I'm wearing something exclusive, not just one of those others that virtually every other collector owns. I also disagree with their depreciation. Please send me a link to where I can get used Nomos for 40% off retail. I did a lot of searching for mine and NEVER saw any Nomos going that cheap, which includes looking up their average retail value based on recent sales. I couldn't disagree with everything you said more.

Look at volume of Cartier and they do not do sports diver watches. They’re in the top tier of watches likely top 5 even top 3 in selected periods. Guess we add Nomos to the list of fantastic pre owned buys such as LUC Chopard.

I like nomos precisely for these 5 points 😉 and will buy a club campus someday

The biggest problem with Nomos watches is that they look like cheap Timexes yet cost $2000 more.
