Has there ever been a blander watch? Perfect for an albino.
Re: Nomos - Baselworld 2019
On a whole, Basel has been one big disappointment...and probably a good reason to kill it....

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

I think Nomos is a bit the plain sister version of the macho Bremont, you ought to like them but never quite enough to pull the trigger. It's like an expensive first date and no follow up

Big difference in the actual “watchmaking” status between those two brands, but I see where you’re coming from in aesthetics.stonehead887 wrote:I think Nomos is a bit the plain sister version of the macho Bremont, you ought to like them but never quite enough to pull the trigger.

They also announced a 42mm Nomos Club Sport with 30atm water resistance.

Re: Nomos - Baselworld 2019
I sort of like that one on the left. The super long lugs are getting dumber and dumber though. It made sense on a 35mm watch. Less so in a full sized one.

I'd be interested in seeing that watch in person. A 42mm Nomos would be enormous.Panerai7 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 5:27 pmExactly.

I like the stepped lugs on the square model

Re: Nomos - Baselworld 2019
Lugs 52mm on a all dial 42mm watch crazy. When I first looked at nomos I felt they were too small, then thought they were just right as my taste changed, now 42x52 is silly big.Panerai7 wrote:Gotta be 52-53JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 5:32 pmI'd be interested in seeing that watch in person.

42mm Club is a odd watch in person. The 38 is perfect for the style.
