In the past, watchmakers had the time to patiently try out by hand whether a part fitted or not. Sometimes they were lucky, other times less so. Though, of course, watches in those days were nowhere near as precise. Today, precision is a must. And the highest precision of the parts is a prerequisite for the best form of watchmaking that follows: The assembly and adjustment of the watch are performed by hand, as it always has been.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.
