I visited the Nomos collection a few weekends ago . . .
. . . here in the LA area, FX. Didn't take any photos, but spent a fair amount of time looking them over.
I was quite enthusiastic about them at one time as a sensible choice for an entry level watch, but that's faded due to an evolution in perspective favoring vintages and GS. Seeing the collection again for the first time in years reminded me of an effect first noticed long ago: Nomos comes across better in the metal than in images over the 'net.
They're definitely worth checking out, especially for the beginning collector.

A visit at the Nomos boutique in Zürich
Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spend a week-end in Zurich. Actually, the purpose of this stay was to attend a show at the Opera House... so far from our usual watchmaking stories. Call it sixth sense... but totally by chance, when I was wande...
Really like to look of the Metro!
Thank you for another great report, Fx! :) Really like to look of the Metro! Q? Do you have any closeup on the square watches shown in one of your pics? Best Blomman
Great to learn of this boutique...
I really like the Nomos brand and whilst some would regard the designs as minimalistic, I find them interesting and so very functional. With the Metro and even the high end, quite limited Lambda and Lux models, there is a very consistent look and feel. Th...
I totally agree about your comments.
The website is at the image of the watches: clear and very functional. Things are easy to find. Thanks Dave! Fx

Thanks Art.
It's true, they offer a good value for somebody who would like to start a collection. Fx
True value
Thanks for this report. Nomos is a brand that I think offers tremendous value at a very attainable and reasonable price point. Their designs and workmanship is solid and attractive and is certainly a brand that should be considered by anyone who claims to...
Thanks Richard.
About the number of points of sale, the problem is also the production limits of the Manufacture. You can't increase the network without increasing the production. Thanks for your comments! Fx

even i would prefer a more abstracted dial of the metro , no date window no power reserve indicator, what do you think Fx? Thanks for the report. Best . Faisal
I don't know Faisal...
There is still the Metro map concept behind the scene. Too simple and I think that it would lose a bit of its interest. But who knows? Maybe it is something to try with Photoshop! Thanks! Fx
Beautiful presentation of the watches.
The Metro is a good direction for Nomos; I especially like the wire lugs.
When will they open one in San Francisco?
Or Los Angeles? Looks good and I'm very attracted to the minimalist Bauhaus style at NOMOS. I'd like to try one on and quite possibly own one someday.
Thanks Patrick! They have a dealer in SF and one in Carmel
You will find it on Nomos website. Thanks! Fx
Already a fan
Hi Thanks for post - the Metro looks really, in line with the house style but different enough to make it an interesting addition. It has the same advantage as the Tangent in that it has an almost non existent bezel - which for me adds to the elegance of ...
Yes, the dial colours range of the Tetra is wide!
I especially like the blue one... Thanks! Fx
I briefly looked at them in a local store. They seem like good...
Entry level watches.
I consider them more than entry level watches...
Because the price tag could be already high for some of us and also because they have their own identity. Writing this article gave me the idea to, why not, buy a new Nomos! Fx
Thank you very much for a reminder.
Hello, Fx. My plan to visit Nomos Boutique in Zurich went out of my head for some time. Thanks to your post, I was able to wake up and realised that I had not been there yet. So I started to make my move. The first opportunity was on Sunday. I was there w...
