-Bestsellers for 30 years wear for the first time, luxurious brilliance of 18k rose gold
For 30 years since its birth in 1992, NOMOS Glashütte’s iconic piece “Tangente” has reigned as a model representing the brand. The design, which skillfully combines a regular circle, right angle, and straight line, is reminiscent of the tradition of the German Bauhaus.
With Arabic numerals and bar indexes with distinctive typography, ultra-fine hour and minute hands and well-balanced sub-dials, the harmonious design makes it a timeless bestseller.
The clean appearance suits the sensibilities of Japan people, but the Tangente Neomatic Rose Gold (1,595,000 yen, including tax) announced this summer is a special model specially created for fans of such Japan. It is a luxurious timepiece that retains the design of the basic 35mm regular model, but the material of the round case has been replaced from stainless steel to 18k rose gold.
The luxurious 18K case doesn’t look too glamorous thanks to the clean design
-Add brown to the traditional design code to create a classical atmosphere
Tangento has a wide variety of models from sporty to pretty women’s models, but surprisingly, this model is the first to use 18k rose gold.
The slim size with a diameter of 35 mm and a thickness of 6.9 mm, a white-silver dial, and an ultra-fine hour and minute hand finished in blue ware follow the tradition of 30 years. On the other hand, instead of the usual black, I chose brown to match the color tone of the case. The strap is also brown Horween shell cordovan to emphasize the classic impression.
The movement uses the popular in-house DUW3001 self-winding calibre. The carefully finished decoration can be admired from the caseback, and the words “Limited Edition For Japan” and serial number are beautifully engraved around it as a testament to the limited edition model.
While wearing the sparkle of rose gold all over the surface, it has a calm appearance without becoming glamorous and fits in your hand because of the cleanliness that tangents have. The rare limited edition model, which is limited to Japan and produced only 20 pieces, is sure to attract envy from all over the world.
