The short answer
The closest alternative to the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 33 noir is the NOMOS Glashütte Orion 1989 ($2,680) — shared caliber (Nomos Alpha) and Bauhaus minimalist. If price is the constraint, the Stowa Antea Klassik KS covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Naos XS Automatik is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Bauhaus minimalist. Stepping up, the Cartier Santos-Dumont Large Model ($8,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
