    First time hearing about this company, and I love it already!
    Legibility was my number one criteria when picking up my first watch.
    Of course the quartz Timex Easy Reader is at a completely different price point, but I if there was an opportunity to buy something more expensive I think I have a company and watches that tick many boxes: easy to read, German, independent, in-house, date window, seconds in a subdial

      Glad I checked the comments before I started typing... I was going to say the same thing. Even talking about the factory strap, and they're own aftermarket straps, they managed to avoid turning the watch around to show the undersides of them lol. Kind of impressive to accidentally not show half of the watch.

    I appreciate this excellent and succinct review. I've been interested in the Nomos Club for several years and was ready to purchase but still needed to decide on a size. This helped me cement my decision for the Club Date for my 6.75" wrist. I even went ahead and ordered to the two additional leather straps recommended. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you! Cheers

    WOW
    This truly is the PERFECT EDC WATCH!!!
    >38.5mm case diameter (38-40mm is my sweet spot for an EDC, 42mm max for sports watches)
    >automatic movement
    >date at 6 for symmetry
    >sapphire crystal
    >100m water resistant so I can swim and shower with it without worrying about it
    >elegant design on the dial that's done so tastefully
    >a slim profile which is really comfortable along with the perfect 38.5mm case
    >excellent legibility and simplicity that you simply can't get bored of and will grow on you more and more as time goes by
    >it's a strap monster - you can dress it up for formal wear or dress it down for casual wear (nato for the beach or a hike, croc leather for work, distress leather for a drink at the bar, rubber/silicone for the poolside, mesh for the weekend? looks good on EVERYTHING)
    >good price point
    the only one thing missing for me is - drilled lugs for ease of strap change.

    This is a great watch. Perfect size, even on a larger (8-1/4 inch) writst. I got mine with the sapphire back, so I could appreciate the beautiful Nomos in-house Alpha movement. Keeps great time. I treated myself to about a dozen straps - leather, rubber and fabric - and it looks good on all of them.

    That nato is horribly put on. There aren't really any rules off course, but to get the watch centered between the two keepers, have it close to the outer keeper before putting it on, not the complete opposite like here. And why do almost no-one figure out that one can tuck the extra bit on the inside so that it actually gets «tucked away», instead of having the end awkwardly sticking out of the lower keeper.

    Just wish they would shorten the lugs. The gap btween the case and the strap is just too much for my taste. And it's only an everyday watch if you work in an office. For some professions, you just need a watch that can take a beating and is allowed to suffer an occasional scratch.

Ho visto nel sito anche cifre che si aggirano intorno ai 4000 € , secondo me con questa cifra porti a casa un buon secondo polso che sicuramente si rivaluta nel tempo non certo un Nomos!

    I like the watch but hardly a good everyday wearer unless you do no physical work what so ever, I wouldn't like to smack around 1600 squid, a great watch for meetings and such light work but if you want something to smack around and not to worry about decreasing value or damage buy something under 200 like a Seiko 5 or Casio F91-W. Nobody ever goes to the bother of getting a Seiko 5 serviced once they give trouble throw it away and get another.

    This is a great concept, but it could be that you spend £10K on all of these watches that are worth less than £4K on resale. How about topping the series off with just one watch for £10K that will keep or increase its value, and is the one and only watch that you need (an impossible challange😁).
