Modegeschiedenis
Roland Schwertner founded NOMOS Glashütte in 1990, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This establishment contributed to the resurgence of the historic watchmaking industry in Glashütte, Saxony. The brand gained recognition for its Tangente model, which utilized clean typography and geometric forms. Historically, NOMOS transitioned from using Swiss movements to developing proprietary calibers, solidifying its role as an independent manufacture within the landscape of contemporary horology and industrial design.
