Watches & Wonders, April 9, 2024, 1:30 p.m. At the Nomos Glashütte stand, a certain impatience is in the air. Not for one, two or ten new watches, but for 31 new versions of the Tangente 38 Date 175 Years Watchmaking Glashütte special edition. Yes, you read correctly: 31 variations, each as dazzling and unique as the next, of a watchmaking icon celebrated for 25 years.
An explosion of colors: 31 watches, 31 personalities
Imagine this scene: like an artist’s palette, each watch reveals a unique hue. It almost feels like you’re immersed in a memory game, one where each card reveals a surprising image. Except that here, we’re not talking about daisies or bananas, but rather 31 watches, each with a distinct personality. One for each day of the month, one for each state of mind.
When color makes all the difference
In a world where mechanical watches often feature sober colors such as black, gray or white, Nomos Glashütte is betting on color to express diversity and individuality. Each piece, a true work of art, tells its own story. The names themselves are an invitation to discovery: Flamingopink, Super Sardine, Rambazamba, Bubblegum, Lemonbiscuit, Pompadour… and these are just a few examples among the 31 original appellations. A real explosion of creativity!
Favorite: the Tangente Schneesturm
Among this colorful collection, our favorite goes without hesitation to the Schneesturm. Its sober palette, with its bright white slightly veiled in black, evokes a powerful and timeless breath. Just like the Super Sardine model, the Tangente 38 Date Schneesturm plays the vintage card while sublimating the traditional codes of the house with subtle contemporary touches.
A limited edition for collectors
But don’t wait too long if one of these beauties catches your eye. Each model of this special edition is limited to only 175 copies worldwide. Do the math: 5,425 watches for a planet of more than 8 billion inhabitants. The Tangente 38 Date edition will undoubtedly have no difficulty finding collectors eager to treat themselves to a piece of watchmaking history.
