Nomos Baselworld releases

Let's get away from the absolute melodrama that is Rolex and Patek at Baselworld...

For my fellow NOMOS fans here, what do we think of these new watches?

I just don't understand Nomos as a sports watch.

I have to semi-agree, but I do like the look of these models.

I mean, sports models are what's selling. You can't fault them for trying to capture some market share. These will likely become their best selling models. They also appear to have done a good job as well, all three look pretty good to me.

Very nice bracelets on these! They look both sporty and elegant.

Making the move to a sports watch can get ugly (see FP Journe), but I believe Nomos have pulled it off!

I like the Tangente Sport with the black dial the best. Well done Nomos!

Very cool. Nomos consistently gets it right. Maybe not homeruns, but this is one solid offering.

I think they made a mistake upping the case size to 42mm.

For 42mm, I need a timing bezel of some sort

The double ar coating is not a good idea either in my opinion. I want a perfect unmarred sapphire crystal that will stay that way. I'm ocd like that.

Great thread. These are not necessarily my cuppa but love the fact that Nomos is making them.
