NOMOS timepieces are made by hand exclusively in Glashutte; but, in a certain way, they are born in Berlin. This is where the watches are designed, where the famous NOMOS look is created. Fine timepieces have been made in Glashutte for over 170 years; it has a tradition here that's hard to find anywhere else in the world. Only the designation of a few products around the world are as strictly protected as watches from Glashutte. Founded by Roland Schwertner in 1990, today NOMOS Glashutte is the largest manufacturer of mechanical timepieces in Germany. Maybe because there are so many special things about them.
