NOMOS Glashütte Lambda 39vsSugess MoonPhase Master S395

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Lambda 39 for its spare clarity, minimalist purity, and Bauhaus dial design with excellent legibility. The in-house hand-wound caliber DUW 1001 is noted for its Glashütte finishing, including a three-quarter plate, hand beveling, and engraved balance cock, with an 84-hour power reserve. Some owners consider the full gold case and giant power reserve display well worth the price for its fine horology and minimalist elegance, while others find the oversized power reserve display and dial design clash with the main hands, and some dislike the lettering on the power reserve indicator. The high price point for gold models, around $18,000-$20,000, is considered steep by some, a significant departure from NOMOS's typical offerings.

Owners widely praise the Sugess MoonPhase Master S395 for its deep blue dial, applied markers, and moonphase complication, with accuracy reported around -6 seconds per day. Some owners find the 41mm size a bit large for a dress watch, and the included straps are considered subpar, with rough movement finishing and unfinished lugs noted under magnification. On balance, owners rate the Sugess MoonPhase Master S395 highly for its attractive dial and moonphase complication at the price.
