The in-house built calibre DUW 3001 is the star of the NOMOS Glash\u00fctte Minimatik because its height of just 3.2mm and width of 28.8mm allows for the creation of a timepiece of perfect minimalist proportions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The movement, designed by Theodor Prenzel, is incredibly thin and exactly made, losing less than 6% of its energy to friction so that it runs longer, while the NOMOS swing system in-house escapement regulates the automatic movement to chronograph accuracy.<\/p>\n

You can see the movement through a sapphire case back, but from the front all the German engineering is concealed behind a bright, silver-plated, white dial with red hour, minute and second hands.<\/p>\n

Tiny minute markers of blue and gold all but disappear between larger grey numbers, quirkily displaying the hours of 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12.<\/p>\n

The watch has won several awards for design this year, including a gong from the respected German Design Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
