Glashütte, September 2014. Elegance at its peak: With Lambda deep blue, NOMOS Glashütte presents a particularly eye-catching version of the prize-winning hand-wound watch—and one that has what it takes to be the new favorite among aficionados. Lambda deep blue, crafted in the watchmaking company’s dedicated Atelier, combines extravagance with distinguished Glashütte fine watchmaking. The dark dial is exceptionally clear and contrasts with the case ring from 18kt white gold in the most beautiful way: A fine frame for the delicate hands and the power reserve indicator, which sweeps a generous 297 degree arch.
The inner workings of this 42-millimeter men’s timepiece are also haute horlogerie, representing fine watchmaking of the highest class. Every golden watch is unique and produced by hand—with the expertise that has made Glashütte craftsmanship worldrenowned.
The caliber DUW 1001 impresses with its swan neck fine adjustment, exclusive fine sunbeam polishing, and hand-engraved balance cock. The immense dedication required to produce this watch is underlined by the polish on its six gold chatons.
These incredibly delicate parts of the movement are held firm in elderflower pith and then individually polished. It can take an entire day to give them their shine—a single speck of dust could ruin all this work. Watchmakers hold their breath to ensure that they do not accidently blow the chatons away. But it is the result, after weeks of fine craftsmanship, that is truly breathtaking. Lambda deep blue is available at selected retailers from November.
