Thoughts on Nomos watches
Discussion
White faced Nomos Club is definitely on my hit list.... it has everything I like in my vintage pieces and original ww2 era military pieces- manual wind, no date and smaller size (36-38mm is my preferred size)....IMHO the only thing that lets it down is it having sapphire crystal instead of acrylic, but I can (just about) live with that.
As soon as I get a chance to try it on I will know for sure, but its looking promising.

Fully in-house manufacture, and although the case sizes are smaller than the average I'd guess that they don't wear so small due to the thin bezel/wide face combination. Their straps are top quality cordovan horse leather as well.
For the £ you get a something that few other brands, if any, can provide

Agree. They are excellent vfm IMHO! For the £ you get a something that few other brands, if any, can provide
I've got a Tangente LE and love it. Really slim, light, discreet and easy to read. Time keeping is superb, with almost quartz like accuracy.
36mm sounds small but on the wrist, it looks larger. Here it is sat next to my full size SMP:
Call me odd, but the cordovan strap smells lovely too!

I had one for a while, a Tangente Power Reserve.
On the plus side they are very nicely made indeed, good value for in-house manufacture, rather rare, with a very simple and elegant look and the power reserve complication is wonderfully executed.
On the down-side the strap isn't that nice - perhaps I just don't like shell cordovan - and they are small, notwithstanding the narrow bezel, I think they are just a bit too small for me. Also the market for them is pretty small, so not an easy sell if you do decide to move it on.
Overall I just didn't like it as much as I had hoped.
