The Nomos Glashutte Orion 33 Rose Timepiece

As with usual Nomos Glashutte tradition we have another pre christmas launch, this year it is one for the ladies with the Orion 33 Rose, In the words of Nomos themselves
“It has become a kind of Christmas tradition by now: in time for the festive season we introduce a new model. This year’s Christmas surprise will certainly put a smile on women’s faces. We introduced our wristwatch Orion 33 rosé at SalonQP at the beginning of November—and of course I’d like to share the information with you too.  We hope you’ll like our latest model!”
Press Release by Nomos Glashutte
This year’s celebration will be in rosé. More delicate, yet decidedly grown up—that’s this year’s Christmas watch from NOMOS Glashütte. A present that lasts through time Glashütte, November 2012.
Under the tree in plenty of time: Orion 33 rose is the name of the new little sister of the familiar Glashutte watch—and it is this year’s Christmas surprise from NOMOS Glashutte. The youngest member of the 33 family looks like the original Orion with its gently curved case and fine stainless steel lunette. But it is smaller—and seems even flatter than other hand-wound watches from NOMOS Glashutte. With a diameter of just 33 millimeters, it is especially becoming on delicate wrists. The light rose hue of the dial—bove every suspicion of kitsch—latters the skin and eye and goes with velvet or silk, cord or tweed. A Sunday-best watch for every day, optically delicate and technically very robust.
All this makes the new Orion 33 rose from NOMOS Glashutte the perfect surprise for your savvy sister, your best girlfriend, your best beloved, and all the other fantastic women in your life. And it’s a gift that lasts— lifetime and longer.
Starting in November, this new model will be available for 1320 pounds from the best authorized watch retailers in the UK and at www.nomos-store.com.

NOMOS Glashütte receives another GOOD DESIGN Award

NOMOS Glashütte receives another GOOD DESIGN Award

The oldest and most prestigious award for product design goes to a modern Glashütte classic
Glashütte, January 9, 2013. NOMOS Glashütte is overjoyed to receive the renowned GOOD DESIGN Award from the Chicago Athenaeum once again in 2012: the Tangente Datum won this prize at the end of last year as the jury announced after the Christmas break. Just twelve months earlier, the jury had raised NOMOS' Zürich model to the ranks of the best design achievements worldwide.

For NOMOS Glashütte, this award brings a very special year to an end—a year which saw the “Goldene Unruh” (Golden Balance Wheel) prize and the title “Wristwatch of the Year” for the models Zürich Weltzeit and Tangomat GMT, a year in which the public voted NOMOS Glashütte first place four times at the watch fairs Munichtime and Viennatime. NOMOS watches stand for fine Glashütte watchmaking art, good design, and exceptional value for money; they have grown to attract increasing international attention, as the renowned prizes bear witness.

The history of the GOOD DESIGN Award dates back to the year 1950, when Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. first awarded the prize in Chicago. Today the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design cooperates with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies in Dublin in bestowing this major recognition of product design.
