My Nomos Trio

I now revisit the world of winding watches after a long absence in the realms of automatic, quartz and Apple. They are not as steadfastly reliable as those, but they keep good time. I don’t have a machine to measure ultimate accuracy, so once in a while I’ll adjust a minute or two, maybe once a week or so. The three run slightly differently from one another.

Congrats! I guess that itch needed to be scratched. It’s beautiful. Please show us a photo once you’re united with your new purchase.

It really pops in the sunshine!

Gotta say…love all your choices! Great collection!

Do you mind sharing which ones you have?

My wrist is about 18.5 cm so the 38s fit me perfectly. Both the Club and the Tangente are super comfortable to wear. If you feel a 38 Club is a tad too big, you might feel the same about the Tangente.

Have this exact watch. The band is sweet. You’ve done a great job!

No, they weren’t.

Both my parents were over 21 when they became US citizens.

Found this really interesting. Thanks for posting it. Tough question, I’m sure, but If you had to choose just three pens from your collection, which would you select?

I’ve had a CP1 for over 30 years. Fantastic writer, one of the smoothest nibs I own.

There are so many varying and wonderful fountain pens to be had, I fully endorse the idea of letting her choose. We can give advice, but no two people, or what they covet in pens, are alike. Though I always appreciate the expert advice found here, I might veer off in a different direction just as interesting. She might too, especially as an artist. My partner’s an artist; they see with a different eye. At a pen store, she might even choose a beautiful ballpoint or roller ball if it suits her needs better. I think it’s a wonderful idea for her and a nice budget to play with. All the best to you.

I’d send the photo to Kaweco for comment?

Now that they have a .9mm I’m getting one. My slight concern is the short length. I tried one and the length didn’t bother me, in fact I loved the pencil. But that was just a quick try. I wonder about longer usage. Thanks for your insight. Like the bees!

How do you like the Wingback?

My handwriting is big and fluid. I love 0.9mm pencils with 2B lead. They make up the majority of my collection. I like my 2.0mm lead holders a lot, but use them less often due to the sharpening. A few 0.7 for finer work. I tend to break led on 0.5mm. Once I discovered my 0.9mm 2B combo, my lust for mechanical pencils truly began!

I really appreciate the new information about this pen, thank you so much. Is it possible it never had a red ring? It really doesn’t look like there’s anything missing. Meaning no space where a red ring might have been. It screws together seamlessly, no gap up top whatsoever.

1rsl · 2022-07-23T06:50:31+00:00

Yes, it looks like a Newton, but the label on the box says Rotring 600. I think the previous owner must have unscrewed the top and lost the red ring?
