The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

As a fan of Nomos, I was looking for a mechanical watch with a small diameter and a touch of originality. So I set my sights on this Club Campus. A very deep pink California dial and a very nice fluorescent orange "small seconds" complication. Enough to cheer you up :-) The finishes are of remarkable quality. If I had to make a small criticism, it would be its screwed back which does not allow you to see the movement. The option was available on other dial colors but not on this version. The lugs are a little long but nothing surprising for Nomos. Its light gray strap suits it perfectly and provides a contrast with the flashy dial. A model that I particularly like and which is aimed at a wide audience.

Ma Nomos Club Campus 36mm

A chic sports watch that can be worn in all circumstances. A 39.7 mm case that I preferred to the iconic Speed whose case was too bulky for my taste. This Omega is for me the model to have in your collection. I preferred its sword hands as well as the shape and size of its case and its horns. Pleasant proportions, it sits perfectly on the wrist. The caramel leather strap on a pin buckle is very comfortable to wear. You will have understood me, huge crush on this First.

FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE

A diameter of 36 mm associated with a bronze case and an original almond green dial, it didn't take more for me to fall for this Big Crown. I particularly appreciate the patina that the case takes over time; it gives it an even more retro tone. And its light green dial differentiates it from the other models in the range and goes really well with the bronze. The only downside: the leather strap is not suitable for small wrists.

ORIS BIG CROWN BRONZE

Passionate about the brand for a long time, I fell in love with this Chronoris. The shape of its case, its extremely well-finished and comfortable bracelet, its vintage and sporty style. The assets that I like combined in one model; I could only buy it. Its caliber is a robust and precise Sellita. It is a shame that this Chronoris is out of collection; perhaps it will reappear with the new caliber!

CHRONOR'S MOUTH 

I have always been a big fan of Grand Seiko, both for their polishing and their incredible finishes. Poetry is anchored in most of their models with sumptuous dials. The opening and excellent welcome of the Grand Seiko Vendôme boutique convinced me to take the plunge and buy it. And I don't regret it! I chose a Spring Drive to marry the best of both worlds (between automatic and quartz). The only negative point is that I find that the bracelet is not in line with the rest of the model. The buckle is not high enough quality and it remains a little too simple for my taste.

GRAND SEIKO SBGA283 SPRING DRIVE

I first discovered the Black Bay in its 41 version (ETA movement) but I found it too imposing and too thick for my wrist. When the release of this 58 was announced with its reduced diameter, its "so-called" manufacture movement and its reduced thickness, I immediately rushed to the store! I also appreciated the aesthetics of the model; in particular its black dial matching its bezel with golden touches and its small red triangle. Its steel bracelet is very well finished but, the only downside is that it lacks a micro adjustment for the watch to be perfect.

Tudor Black Bay 58

A watch that I particularly like. A vintage spirit combined with a touch of modernity. Its bronze fluted bezel combined with its blue dial gives this Big Crown all its personality. Its 36 mm size is ideal. I liked the originality of the pointer date (date indication). An emblematic watch for the house of Oris. A piece of history on the wrist.

The brand Nomos Glash&uuml;tte was founded in 1990 by Roland Schwertner in Glash&uuml;tte, Germany. Photographer and computer enthusiast, the founder created this brand between modernity and tradition two months after the fall of the Berlin Wall. His vision was to design timepieces that combine traditional mechanical watchmaking with modern design inspired by Bauhaus watches from the 1930s.
In 1991, the brand launched its first collection of 4 watches, designed by Suzanne Gunther: the Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Ludwig, the Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Orion, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/nomos_glashutte/tetra_neomatik"> Nomos Tetra Neomatik</a> and the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/nomos_glashutte/tangente">Nomos Tangente</a>. The combination of movements manufactured in-house and 95% built in the region, a relatively affordable price and a minimalist aesthetic has made this brand take off in the watch world.
The range includes models like the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/nomos_glashutte/club_campus"> Nomos Club Campus</a>, the Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Minimatik, the Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Z&uuml;rich, the Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Tangomat Date and the Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Lux. The Nomos Tangente 41 Update also won the Challenge category at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix (GPHG) in 2018.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Nomos watch cost?</h2>
The price of Nomos watches sold on the brand's website are evolving between &euro; 1,260 and &euro; 15,800 depending on the models and finishes. Count &euro; 1,300 for a Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Club Campus and &euro; 12,800 for a Nomos Glash&uuml;tte Lambda.
Nomos glassworks is an independent brand and produces 20,000 watches per year all models combined. To choose a Nomos Glash&uuml;tte that best suits you, Dialicious owners' reviews are a valuable resource for evaluating each of the different models through real customer experience.

Want to attract attention? It's easy with the California dial of my Club Campus. Its 38.5 millimeter diameter is generously proportioned and will fit any wrist. This timepiece always looks stunning — with a suit, while traveling around the world or dancing the night away. And only diamonds are harder than its sapphire crystal. I can only recommend getting the optional transparent caseback as the Nomos manufacture movements offer a truly beautiful finish that our Swiss friends are unable to produce at this price ;-)

Nomos Club Campus 737

A little gem that I managed to find, a special edition for the Asian market to celebrate the U as a bond. This vital letter in the name of this special model means "Unity", but it also phonetically evokes the English "You". And just as we all have multiple facets, sometimes even opposite, the dial of this watch dares the contrast of colors that is accentuated by a light touch of rose gold. Its 38.5 mm diameter case houses the hand-wound Alpha caliber. This contrast of the black dial with this Californian numeral half Arabic half Roman in ivory color circled by a rose gold line that echoes the hands.

Club Camus U Special Edition

After a long search for my first and only mechanical watch, I chose the Club Campus 737 from Nomos. Its rounded contours, generous dial and little touch of color make it a perfect choice for me. This watch is not flashy, but as soon as you look at the finishes, you can't help but notice the attention to detail and the quality of the finishes (especially in terms of the caliber that you can see through a transparent case back). The slightly long lugs put some people off, but personally I don't see any problem with that, the watch fits properly on my wrist. The strap provided with the watch is very pretty. I am fully satisfied.
