The most characteristic feature of Tangente is its iconic typography: 2, 4, 8, 10, and 12. Every second numeral and the 6 have been replaced with indexes. “Less is more,” the renowned maxim from Ludwig Mies van der Rohes, could not be more fitting here. Sapphire crystal glass on both sides, stainless steel, Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan, brass, silver, rubies—these are the materials that this classic timepiece and its mechanical caliber are made from. And like the other classics from NOMOS Glashütte, this watch is designed to last a lifetime. It can be repaired, should it ever need to be. Tangente is available in over 20 versions—larger, smaller, hand-wound and automatic, as well as in a sports version with a bracelet.
