A watch instead of an egg

Decorated eggs and three kisses have long been the Easter gift of choice in orthodox churches. Depending on the materials available, instead of a chicken’s egg, these eggs are sometimes made of glass and precious stones and metals. Goldsmith, engraver, guillochéur or enameller: highly specialized professions that are barely known today—were the ones who once engaged in this art over the centuries. Famous to this day—some containing precious watches—are Fabergé eggs.

NOMOS, the manufacturer from the tradition-steeped German town famed for its fine mechanical watches, is now taking up this fine tradition: Watches in many colors, symbolic Easter eggs made in Glashütte, crafted in our own workshop in Glashütte. These watches could even be called Easter egg themselves: Hidden inside are exquisite, finely manufactured calibers with traditional Glashütte embellishments: rubies and tempered blue screws. With the watchmaker sending three virtual kisses with every watch.
