"Club, by Nomos Glashütte, now comes in four different sizes – depending on the calibre, with date and automatic movement, too. The reason? The manufactory’s youngest watch has grown up Glashütte, April 2008. High visibility vests and high sea yachts, signet rings, hamsters and diapers, treasure chests, sun shades, suitcases and sport cars – almost everything comes in different sizes – including the Club model by NOMOS Glashütte.
The basic model – designed by the renowned Hamburger industrial designer Karin Sieber – was introduced precisely a year ago and is a kind of introductory watch by Nomos Glashütte. Its materials (sapphire crystal, stainless steel, silver-plated brass, rubies in the movement) – and the technology inside are very grown up (that’s why a manually wound movement ticks inside the watches, just as in the Nomos classics, Tangente and Orion). Yet the stainless steel case is – thanks to its simple, sleek form – lighter and simply less expensive to produce: at 780 Euros this watch is the most affordable manufactory watch made in Glashütte. A Glashütter watch for students and young professionals, often sold as “the good watch for high school graduation” – and one that grows with its owner, a life long, up to the top floor. In addition to the basic model, with a diameter of 36 millimeters, there are now three new sizes, depending on the calibre inside. A. Club Date model, the manually wound version with date. Since Nomos Glashütte placed the date mechanism around the movement to save on height, this watch’s diameter has grown to 38, 5 millimeters. B. Club Automat model, the same watch with an automatic calibre, has a diameter of 40 millimeters (without date) and 41, 5 millimeters (with date). Together with the “Ur-Club,” this makes a total of four different sizes. And since each version of the Club comes in two different colors – with a light dial (ivory for the manually wound versions, silver plated for the automatic ones) and with a rhodium-plated dark dial – all with sapphire crystal and a steel back – the customer has 16 models to choose from.
