Are you in need of a significant timepiece? Ready for that pro-level horological next step? Depending on your attire and setting, a quartz watch can do the trick, or even a entry-level automatic, but we’re looking for the end game watch. A Rolex or Omega are popular brands, but one you haven’t heard of because your horological history is limited is NOMOS Glashütte. The town of Glashütte in Germany is the birthplace of the German watchmaking industry. The people are said to have hearts that beat in a “tick-tock” motion because they have been perfecting the art of watchmaking for generations. NOMOS carries the designation of manufactory, Glashütte which only few watchmakers have. To have a watch built from this area means a work of art was created just for you.

The Ahoi by NOMOS Glashütte is a horological achievement. At under $5,000, this watch is the best watch for your money, period. The NOMOS in-house movement, Epsilon is fantastic with an excellent winding performance. With a power reserve of 48 hours, decentralized seconds, 26 ruby bearings, the movement could be framed and hung on your wall. House this movement in a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal back and you have the only watch you’ll ever need.
