Nomos Introduces the Tetra Neomatik
Nomos is a brand that should need little introduction on w&w. A staff and crowd favorite, Nomos' watches exude style, elegance and value like no other brand. Made in Glash¨¹tte, these in-house beauties are in a class of their own, something a mere glance at pieces like the Orion 38 Datum, Club and Metro will surely make obvious. Last year at Baselworld, Nomos announced a new watch, the Minimatik, but more significantly, a new movement; the DUW 3001.

It never kept decent time (gaining of losing up to 8 minutes a day, the pushers for the chronograph functions fell off on a regular basis, and every time I would push the chrono, the watch would jump ahead two minutes. It went back to Lancaster 2 times, went to a local watchmaker 4 times, and even went back to Switzerland, where they supposedly put in a whole new movement. Two days after I got it back, the pusher fell off at the kitchen table! So, if any f you are thinking of recommending an Omega, please don't! I would

INCOMING!!! The Titan Beast
AP 25721TI from 2003. Yes, that¡¯s 15 years ago and it¡¯s practically fresh from the vault. Was very lucky to chance upon it and can¡¯t get it off my mind. Within 24hours and here it is. Mandatory wrist shot, on 6.5¡± wrist. The titanium material make the whole watch disappear on wrist, filling my heart with warm titanium feel The dial is multilayered and full of details. Petite-Tapisserie at center with Arabic numerals on flat surround, all in original blue hue. The 3 rings are in greyish hue matching the warm titanium color. And not forgetting the lume, it¡¯s super bright and best I had seen so far on AP.
