Images courtesy of Pamela Willson & Partners the world and the whole process of cre- ating a new model starts again. Nomos’ latest collection of watches is the Neomatik, an elegant and incredibly slender make that is cosmopolitan, culti- vated and contemporary with outstanding accuracy. It is only 3.2 millimetres in height, therefore thinner than anything else that self-winds and is produced in large-scale series. At the heart of this timepiece is a movement of the next generation, the ultra-thin automatic calibre DUW 3001. The collection con- sists of twelve models, with six of these available in two versions – one with a white silver-plated dial and the other with a champagne-coloured dial with the exception of the Tetra model which has a beautiful deep blue dial. Minimatik is a fresh watch-face with fine accents in cyan blue that decorates the silver-plated dial and rests comfortably on your wrist, while its Champagner version is both elegant and cheeky, with a dash of neon orange embellishing the sophis- ticated champagne-coloured dial. Both models have a 35.5mm stainless steel and tripartite case with curved sapphire crystal glass and sapphire crystal glass back and, water resistant up to 3 ATM. The Minimatik has a galvanised, white silver-plated dial with golden pearled indexes, blue minute markers and red hands, with a Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap in black, hand stitched remborde and NOMOS buckle clasp while the Champagner has a galvanised champagne gold dial with golden pearled indexes, neon orange minute markers and rhodium-plated hand and second hand in neon orange, and a natural leather and vegetable tanned strap with hand stitched remborde and NOMOS buckle clasp. The Tangente Neomatik based on the original Tangente but with an updated twist has cyan blue accents which beau- tifully compliment the slender case. It has a 35mm stainless steel and bipartite case with sapphire crystal glass and sapphire crystal back; galvanised white silver-plated dial with cyan blue minute markers; oxi- dised hands in black and seconds hand in red; and Horween Genuine Shell Cor- dovan strap in black with hand stitched remborde and NOMOS buckle clasp. Its Champagner version has the same detailed case but with galvanised cham- pagne gold dial and neon orange minute markers; rhodium-plated hand and second hand in neon orange; and natural cowhide and vegetable tanned strap with hand stitched remborde and NOMOS buckle clasp. Both models have water resistant of up to 3 ATM. Now available as an automatic watch, the award-winning Nomos Metro remains slender and elegant with 35mm stainless steel and bipartite case with curved sap- phire crystal glass and sapphire crystal back; galvanised white silver-plated dial with cyan blue minute markers; oxi- dised hands in black and seconds hand in red; and Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap in black with hand stitched remborde and NOMOS buckle clasp. The Champagner version has the same case details but with galvanised champagne gold dial with neon orange minute markers; rhodium-plated hand and second hand in neon orange; and a natural leather and vegetable tanned strap with hand stitched remborde and NOMOS buckle clasp. Both models have water resistant of up to 3 ATM. The remaining models are Orion Neo- matik and Orion Neomatik Champagner; Ludwig Neomatik and Ludwig Neomatik Champagner; and Tetra Neomatik and Tetra Neomatik Tiefblau. The Tetra has a square case compared to the other models which are round and is slightly smaller at 33mm by 33mm, while the Orion and Ludwig models have a bigger case at 36mm.
