I really wish they made something that I'd wear consistently. I'd really like to buy a watch from them.

Not if that damasko diver is any clue to what it would look like.

Did Nomos have a hand in it? Damaskso aesthetics are quirky.

^^^ NOMOS is quick on the emails. You could always try asking Watch Buys...

This. Just a matter of time before I own one. If any of you are so inclined, request a catalog from them. Really well done.

I requested one from them. I was very surprised by the catalog. It also comes from Germany surprisingly.

100%. They had the Tangente Sport at one time, but that was only a beefed up version of the Tangente, and still under 40mm. I'm with Chris. I have wanted to support the company, but they don't make anything that suits me. The Zurich is really well done, but I don't wear dress watches.

Have always loved the brand – they have pretty impressive self-awareness and a great sense of wry, quirky humor that seems uncharacteristic of ze Germans. Haven't found 'the one' from them just yet, but appreciate their contributions to the general conversation.
