Within the last three years NOMOS Glashütte has grown exponentially, having doubled its employees and turnover after award-winning timepieces like the Ahoi and Lambada.. Its momentum continues with the introduction of its first in-house swing system escapement, the DUW 4401, placed in the all-new Metro model.
The NOMOS Glashütte METRO
Famed Berlin designer Mark Braun created the stylish and clean design of the Metro watch for NOMOS Glashütte. The timepiece captures Braun's vision with a a dial featuring a colored power reserve indicator display with mint green accents and tapered ends pointing to the dot markers along the edge of the dial. It is complimented by the red hand of the small seconds at 6 o'clock just above the date feature.
Through the sapphire case back, one can view the new NOMOS Glashütte swing system escapement, identifiable by its blue balance spring. The swing escapement mechanism is known for its durability and includes a pallet and escape wheel insuring its longevity. This part was produced in the NOMOS Glashütte headquarters located in Glashütte, Germany in a refurbished train station in Glashütte, Germany.
The in-house construction of the Metro model coupled with its clean aesthetic design by Braun makes it the perfect timepiece for the chic and urban watch wearer.
Interesting fact: Braun is located down the street to Berlinerblau, the in-house creative agency responsible for NOMOS Glashütte's brand management to watch design for the last ten years.
