Furniture is composed of mobile elements—from the Latin mobilis—elements that fulfill a function, and which help shape a space. In this respect, it also resembles watches: They, too, are moveable, fulfill a function, adorning and decorating the wrist much like furniture does a room. Which is why furniture designers are well-placed to also design adornments for the wrist.

NOMOS is launching a whole new set of timepieces to coincide with the Salone del Mobile in Milan: four square versions of the well-known NOMOS watch Tetra, this time in a bold “adult color scheme revolving around the color pink,” as designer Thomas Höhnel puts it. Höhnel—a color specialist and interior designer—skillfully plays with tone, color and contrast on the approximately 30 by 30 millimeter dials.

Interior designers are no exception to the rule when it comes to designing timepieces. For example, the Berlin-based designers Mark Braun and Werner Aisslinger, known for their lamps, hotels and sofas, have designed successful watch models such as Metro and Autobahn for NOMOS Glashütte. The new Tetra models from NOMOS Glashütte, designed by Thomas Höhnel, bear names such as “Die Kapriziöse” (The Capricious) and “Die Unerreichbare” (The Unattainable). All of them feature a manually wound caliber and a velvety gray strap made of vegan velour. Available from April 20 from the finest specialist retailers and on nomos-glashuette.com.
