Glashütte after the World Cup (PRESS RELEASE)

“You’ll always be a world champion:” What the German footballing hero Rudi Völler knew is also everyday life for NOMOS Glashütte—creating values that stand the test of time

Berlin/Glashütte, July 2014. In the eastern Ore mountains, not ‘offside’ but rather ‘off the beaten track’, NOMOS Glashütte is perfecting the art of German fine watchmaking. Becoming world class might take much longer than 90 minutes here, but it also lasts a great deal longer than the victory celebrations—with a little care, forever.

“This brand can’t do anything wrong at the moment,” was the conclusion of the jury at the UK Watch and Jewellery Awards ceremony held recently in London. NOMOS Glashütte is on its way to the premiere league—as these eleven points prove:

1. The NOMOS swing system: breaking the Swiss monopoly.

(NOMOS call it the NOMOS swing system: The most difficult step in the entire production process of in-house calibers has been mastered, and now even the heart of the movement is coming from Glashütte.)

2. Three patents at the calibers’ heart: balance, date, and power reserve.

3. Over 120 prizes for quality, design, and value-for-money. 

(Outstanding, prize-winning: Watches from NOMOS Glashütte have won over 120 awards—for quality, value-for-money, and design.)

4. Deutscher Werkbund and Bauhaus—design in the highest tradition.

5. No other company produces more mechanical watches: NOMOS Glashütte is market leader in Germany.

6. NOMOS Glashütte builds up to 95 percent of its calibers in-house, instead of the mandatory 50 percent.

7. Adjusted in six positions, promising accuracy to chronometer levels.

8. Life in the birthplace of fine watchmaking: Only those who love watchmaking live in Glashütte.

(Research and development: Georg Jost is one of around 170 NOMOS employees in Glashütte who strive for higher things. After all, a watchmaking company with a reputation like ours is not content with sitting on its laurels.)

9. Bestsellers for over 20 years—like the NOMOS Tangente and Orion models, for example.

10. World-class fiddling: The smallest NOMOS parts would easily fit through the space in a small “e.”

11. 28 kg of fan post from happy customers, each letter nicer than the next.
