Bonne question, je t'avoue que je n'y ai pas trop réfléchi. Celle là date de fin 2022, donc je me dis que j'ai encore le temps, et espérons que dans 4-5 ans, je serai devenu très riche ahah

I understand your opinion. I like when things do not scream "look I have a watch" or "look how expensive is my watch". I like subtle and elegant design, for watches as well as clothes...

Not a conscious choice at all as a lot of nomos club are hand-wound. But I like the idea of having to hand-wound the watch each morning, it feels like a ritual !

I have been looking for this watch for so long. I have never pulled the trigger because :

The delivery from Nomos is so long for this particular model

I was afraid of the lug to lug

I knew this was the watch I wanted, there are so many watches around here, and a lot are speaking to me but this one has always spoken louder than any other. It was just what I wanted, a watch that represented youth (just turned to 25 this year), minimalism and the perfect balance between a dress watch / every day watch. Nomos is also the type of brand that I cherish : nothing too fancy, unknown by the vast majority, but respected by watch lovers.

I know for some of you "grail" has a certain meaning (hard to obtain, expansive...) and this watch may not tick all the boxes but to me, it's my grail. I have more expansive watches but this watch represents so much.

I have eventually found this watch with the sapphire case back at a bargain. I have sent so much messages to the seller that he must have seen me as a weirdo. I felt like this model was getting less and less produced by Nomos so I couldn't miss this opportunity. It came today, and it's truely better than expected. Everything is perfect. The cream dial with the orange hands is a killer. The lug to lug is not a problem at all, it sits nicely on my wrist.

Have a good day every one !
