The gear-cutting machine: A rarity in the watchmaking industry and a special feature at NOMOS Glashütte. This is because only a few watchmaking companies worldwide perform their own gear cutting. This is also where NOMOS' proprietary gear wheel train for neomatik movements is created—it is the result of a research project between NOMOS Glashütte and the Dresden University of Technology. The aim was to find the perfect tooth form for wheels in NOMOS watches. It worked: An efficiency of an incredible 94.2 percent means that almost no power is lost through friction.
