First launched in 1992 following the reunification of Germany, the Nomos Tangente quickly became the face of modern Glashütte watchmaking. It embraced the minimalist Bauhaus principles that once inspired German design legends like Braun and Junghans—clean typography, geometric balance, and a no-frills form that speaks volumes through restraint.
This Ref. 34173 keeps the legacy alive with its sleek 35mm stainless steel case, matte black dial, and typographic numerals set with pinpoint symmetry. The small seconds at 6 o’clock adds just enough complexity, powered by the in-house Alpha hand-wound movement—a beautifully decorated mechanical caliber built entirely in Glashütte. It’s the kind of watch that doesn’t need to shout. It whispers confidence, and does so fluently—in German.
