1. Because the minute/second hand is meant to terminate close to the minute track at the edge of the dial so that the watch can be set and read accurately. 2. Because they look disproportionately small.
While I do agree the brand is moving into the right (i.e. a more original feeling) direction, actually I don't think this is 'excellent' except for the hands. What I see, or am led to believe, is that this is an excellently built watch that actually suffers from quite lacklustre design overall and a very high price. The short hands just really make it stillborn. At the pace Nomadic is moving I think we're still some generations away from something truly noteworthy.
Great design is always about finding nice details, harmonies hidden between each elements, proportions that creates beauty... It is like story or way which reveals something more each day. This particular watch is far from great design mostly due short hands. I think every day of having it will bring only more disappointments and questions "what if...".

Great review, great watch, but............... have to agree, those short hands kill it stone dead, a real shame..............
Another great review. Can't unsee the hands now. Like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Maybe the next version will finally get it right.
Hands are perfect. You can tell the time easily. I don't understand why longer hands are needed.

Short hands really bug me, what's the point of a minute track if neither the minute or second hand get near it 🙄
Ha, I guessed it, I knew you get annoyed with short hands and that was my first thought when I saw the watch. 😅
They wanted to make a 36mm version, so they can use the same hands.
Change the name from Turas to T-Rex
Great review
Gorgeous watch, excellent detail and I agree those shrimp hands would be a distraction 🍤
The hands are short - time for a V2 to fix this. Have to question, why?
I can’t fathom how they came to this decision on the Handset ?!?!
Just imagine it's a Trex with small hands 😂
Agreed way to short such a shame.
