New Release: Nomos Tangomat

[michi_werner]

Hi!

I have seen on Puretime that a new Nomos is available. They call it Tangente, but it’s actually a Tangomat.

Here is the Link to the watch: https://puretime.io/tangente-38-oxf-1-1-best-edition-white-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a23j.html

I would like to know your opinion on the Rep!

As far as I understand, the 23j movement is rather cheap and reliable. My question is, how easy would it be to replace the movement, if it ever stops working?

From what I see, the rotor doesn’t have all the engravings like on the gen, but I don’t care about the look of the movement anyways.

Also I have seen that the watch is (according to the description) about 1 mm thicker than the original, which doesn’t bother me either.

The factory seems to be rather new but I didn’t find any big problems with it.

So what are your thoughts? Thanks!

I like it a lot! Yeah, that 1.3 mm would not bother me that much either. Not sure if I would buy it though. I would like to have a Bauhaus design watch in my collection. Then again, I think I would rather buy a Junghans Max Bill which is not a lot more expensive than this rep.

There's also a Doctors Without Borders version: https://puretime.io/tangente-38-oxf...-dial-red-12-on-black-leather-strap-a23j.html like they did with the Tangente 33 and Tangente 38.

Very curios about this watch as well. Please post pics if someone has this watch.

Agreed! I like the look of Junghans watches much better and their prices are pretty reasonable.

The Max Bill designed watches are very pretty indeed. Great value for money ot seems. Thanks for bringing them to my attention!

michi_werner Less Pope fuzzmex Out of curiosity, I ordered one anyway. I'll show you pics this weekend when I have my new camera. The camera that I have right now is horrible.
For now, I can tell it is a very cool looking watch. The rotor seems to have a hard time to spin though. It may need a service at the repair shop. I did not like the very shiny strap therefore I exchanged it with a Fluco suede https://holbensfinewatchbands.com/products/fluco-suede-leather-light-grey

You are welcome! A few months ago I saw a good deal on Ebay for a handwind Max Bill. Unfortunately I did not pull the trigger then. It is not available anymore. Probably a nice chance will pop up in the near future.

Hey guys - I can’t find any Nomos on Puretime. I’m curious to see even just stock pics. Did you just email Angus directly?

does anyone know a good td for nomos reps ? i have only found the lambda with a curved pointer -.-

In the fourth picture the lugs look bent to the sides. It think it is because of the sharp angles in the lugs that create an optical illusion.

I dont know why the chinese dont understand to write Glashütte instead of Glashotte ^^
ive marked the flaw

the watch looks nice as well
ive bough a lambda but i coundt find a good one

 

[Bassy2000]

copernicus666 It is hard to tell from my photos but they spelled it correctly Glashütte. In fact I find it difficult to differentiate the Umlaut (the dots above the letter u) by directly looking at my watch. The 3rd closeup photo from Puretime shows the Umlaut well https://puretime.io/tangente-38-gpf-...rap-a23j.html#. Also if you look at the closeup from my first photo it is clear that they used an Umlaut https://picr.me/i/2019/03/23/VzBhqe.jpg

All the TDs pretty much can deliver the same reps. Quality of the reps depends on the factories. Quality control both on the factories and TD. I read that Lucy is supposed to be known for excellent quality control. Personally I think it does not matter that much in choosing a TD.

Bassy2000 Whats your wristsize mate?

Im thinking for quite a while now getting this watch - im afraid it is to small for me. Just by the diameter id say i cant wear it, but the horn also has an effect on the size of a watch, and on your wrist it does look not to small.

what is your impression on the build quality of this rep?

 

[Bassy2000]

HorologyFreak 6 3/4 inch = 17 centimeters. Just the right size for me. The narrow bezel makes it wear bigger. Build quality of this rep? My rotor is not spinning well. I still have to bring it to my watch smith. For the rest, quality seems to be quite good.
