Why the Angular NOMOS Watch Feels Surprisingly Gentle for Daily Wear

Thinking that someone had consulted the Watchdog website before, I asked an interesting question: “I want to find a non-round watch, but it doesn’t want to be too hard. After all, it needs to match most of my daily clothes.

In the watch market, except for the largest "round watch" camp, the others are basically "special-shaped watches". Most of the popular special-shaped watches are currently concentrated in sports models, which are angular and distinctive in style.

I thought about this alien image with a "gentle" feeling for a while, and finally settled on this nomos image that is not common to everyone, but is attracted to me at a glance.

The NOMOS we are most familiar with is round, and the most famous nomos is in the Bauhaus style. The design is very simple, and it is even considered to be a bit "artistic". Moreover, round watches have never been a traditional choice. Although they are safe, not everyone can wear nomos.

For NOMOS, a self-operated independent brand from Germany, square watches are also rare, but its history is not short.

NOMOS launched the Tetra (the brand's first watch) in 1992, with a square appearance and a slim case. In fact, "Tetra" means four sides, and nomos sounds square.

The straight-line dial uses an "alternative" dial, and its production is more complicated than similar dials. Therefore, the production of Tetra watches in NOMOS is not large, but there are still loyal owners.

The Tetra watch is a rare square watch on the market and is very distinctive.

In addition, although most NOMOS watches can be considered "unisex", nomos can be worn by both men and women, and it is just a matter of matching the most suitable model according to size and wrist. However, Tetra can be regarded as one of the most feminine watches with bright colors. NOMO seems to use Tetra as a color palette to express the inspiration of life and the soul of literary creation.

For example, the dial color on the Berlin watch produced as early as 2014 was brighter and darker, but now nomos seems to be leading the trend.

Therefore, for Tetra watches, the tradition is to use colors boldly and creatively. Equipped with the iconic double-layer lug design, nomos is more suitable for matching with narrow bracelets and looks more refined.

From the perspective of NOMOS, Tetra is a unique existence that expresses itself through color. Behind the wearer's heart, sometimes seemingly insignificant changes are the result of countless debugging and fusion.

Tetra understands women, and is a unique woman, so this year’s new color matching of nomos gives us a different flavor.

Inspired by the blooming flowers, NOMOS’s new TetraBlossom watch this year still comes from the Berlin design studio Berlinerblau (I have been there myself). What impresses nomos is the German attention to detail) and the hands of designers, symbolizing the inner and outer beauty of women.
