Why choose an automatic watch?

Watching mechanical movements at work through a glass back is a delight. And while we wear these watches, they appreciate in value, year after year. But what are the other advantages in having an automatic watch from NOMOS Glashütte? Five benefits.

1. Convenient: When worn regularly, automatic watches work without having to turn the crown, as is necessary with hand-wound watches. Even if you take them off from time to time, automatic watches keep on ticking; NOMOS automatic watches have a power reserve of at least 42 hours.

2. Long-lasting and sustainable: Since automatic watches are mechanical, they have an almost limitless lifespan with minimal care, and can be repaired. And they work—of course—without batteries, which is good for the environment and our health.

3. Slender and elegant: The majority of automatic watches on the market are based on robust designs from the 70s and 80s. But now there are also more refined “automatics” that are highly efficient and suitable for everyday office wear. Like the NOMOS Glashütte models with neomatik calibers: “neomatik” stands for “new automatic.”

4. Traditional and ultra-modern: The calibers of NOMOS automatic watches are made on site in Glashütte—all following more than 175 years of Glashütte watchmaking tradition, but combined with the knowledge and technology of today.

5. Utmost accuracy: Two things guarantee precision: The careful manufacture of the individual parts and a high-end pacesetter (such as the proprietary NOMOS swing system). For aficionados: The accuracy of NOMOS automatic watches essentially corresponds to that of chronometer standards.
