NOMOS Glashütte Tangente

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is the manufacture’s best-known design and stands like hardly any other watch for the Bauhaus tradition from Glashütte. Straight lugs, clear numerals and a slim case have made it a modern classic since the early nineties. The Tangente is available with manual winding, as neomatik with an automatic movement, with date, as a sports watch and in gold.

A classic of German watch design

The Tangente is one of the first models from NOMOS Glashütte and has shaped the brand decisively. Its design follows the principle that form follows function: a slim, round case with straight lugs, Arabic numerals in fine typography and small seconds. This clarity makes the Tangente versatile to wear and has turned it into one of the best-known German wristwatches.

Tangente, Tangente neomatik and Tangente Sport

The classic hand-wound Tangente is available in sizes from 33 millimetres, complemented by versions such as the Tangente 2Date or the Tangente Date Power Reserve. The Tangente neomatik uses slim automatic calibres of the neomatik family, and the Update versions feature a date display on the edge of the dial. With its steel bracelet and case water-resistant to 300 metres, the Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date is the sportiest Tangente, and the Tangente Gold neomatik the most refined.

Frequently asked questions about NOMOS Glashütte Tangente

How much does a NOMOS Tangent cost?

The current price range can be found in the price overview on this page.

Where does the design of the tangent come from?

The tangent follows the Bauhaus design language: clear lines, narrow indices, plenty of free space on the dial. It has been in the NOMOS range since it was founded in 1990 and is the best-known model from the Glashütte manufactory.

Manual winding or automatic?

The classic Tangente has a hand-wound movement and is therefore particularly flat. There are also versions with the in-house automatic caliber including date, which are slightly higher.

Are the watches at HORANDO new and original?

Yes. Each new watch is unworn and comes with box, papers and the full manufacturer's warranty. Before shipping, we look at each watch again, check the reference and serial number and pack it neatly.
