A wooden chest houses the smallest parts: The NOMOS Glashütte production center. Here, in the Glashütte district of Schlottwitz, the individual parts of the company's proprietary movements are manufactured. Being independent of third-party suppliers is important because it means the brand can determine its own quality standards.NOMOS Glashütte is one of the few owner-operated watch manufactories in the world, and creates its mechanical timepieces in Glashütte, Germany. Watch models such as the Tangente, Ludwig, Orion, Club or Metro are world-famous – just like the place where they are made. Glashütte is a legally protected designation of origin. Only manufacturers who work according to strict rules in the 175-year-old tradition of the watchmaking town are permitted to use this denomination for their wristwatches. NOMOS Glashütte is the manufacturer that produces the most mechanical watches in Glashütte.
