COLORS GALORE
Known for its dials that sometimes blend intense shades without moderation, the young Saxon brand is expanding its exploration of color by creating original combinations to dress a series of limited editions.
The use of color, usually in dashes, is one of Nomos‘ great specialties. Indeed, the young German company has made it a trademark, a visual signature that has delighted its admirers for almost 35 years, in addition to the pure design of its watches. In 2024, she continues this exploration of rich hues, and in particular of joyful combinations of these hues, to dress the face of her Tangente 38 Date. Each of these combinations, all presented last spring at Watches and Wonders in Geneva, is offered in 175 pieces.
They are called Bubblegum, Poporange, Pompadour or Super Sardine, and are adorned with one, two or three colors, arranged in “levels”, i.e. on the central disk that occupies most of the dial, the minute track towards the flange, the skinny Arabic numerals and hour markers, the date window and the small seconds counter both at 6 o’clock, allowing quick and easy reading of time information.
The hours and minutes, indicated by two elongated baton-type hands, are set by the DUW4101 caliber, a hand-wound mechanical movement developed by Nomos that provides a 42-hour energy reserve and is housed in a steel case 37.5mm in diameter and 6.8mm thick. Water-resistant to a depth of 30m, the Tangente 38 Date is worn on the wrist with a grey textile strap, light or dark depending on the model, and a pin buckle.
