Bauhaus Turns 100 with Nomos Glashütte
“Tangente, our prizewinning bestseller, embodies the company like no other,” says Uwe Arhendt, CEO of Nomos Glashütte. “It has been a continuous favorite for 25 years and is the watch that has been associated most with Bauhaus. Tangente’s design represents the principle of form follows function, which has made it a design classic. For us, there was no doubt that the Bauhaus anniversary should be commemorated with a special limited edition of Tangente,” he continues.
The unisex watches come in three sizes (33mm, 35mm, and 38mm), with a dial the color of sketch paper, evoking Klee’s famous artworks, and black numerals and hands. Circling the dial is Nomos Glashütte’s trademark pop of color—a subtle ring in either red, blue or yellow, available for all three sizes. The movement in all these models is the Alpha, the brand’s first in-house built caliber when it became an in-house movement manufacturer. The Alpha has since become a reliable classic for Nomos Glashütte, powering the majority of the brand’s watches, and is definitely a fitting choice for this commemorative series.
“Tangente—a century of Bauhaus” will be available with selected retailers by the end of August. Limited to 100 pieces per model, you’d best hurry and get yourselves one of these quick!
