Nomos Tangente 38 Blue Gold
Bauhaus design icon with Alpha caliber movement.
Our take on the Nomos Tangente 38 Blue Gold
The Tangente is Bauhaus design applied literally: nothing on the dial that does not serve reading the time. Nomos builds its own movements in Glashütte, including its in-house swing system escapement, which very few brands at this price can claim.
