What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 38 date

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 38 date for its striking, glossy enamel-like white dial, Roman numerals, and blued steel hands, with the 38mm size considered a great statement piece. The in-house manual-winding Alpha movement offers a 43-hour power reserve. Some owners note the long lug-to-lug distance can make the watch appear large on smaller wrists. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 38 date highly for its classic, slender design and fine details at its price point.

NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve for its unique, award-winning design and in-house craftsmanship, with one owner stating they "can't stop looking at it" and find it versatile enough to wear with "basically everything." The watch is noted for its thin case, with dimensions of 37mm case, 7.7mm thickness, and a 43.6mm lug-to-lug distance, and houses the in-house DUW 4401 movement featuring a virtually entirely in-house escapement. Some reviewers and owners find the dial appears duller silver in person than in photos, and the lack of a quick-set date can be a chore for daily wear. One reviewer noted the minute and hour hands are too close in length, and a strap was too small for their wrist. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve highly for its distinctive, playful design and impressive in-house movement at its price point.
