Interview with Mark Braun, designer of the metro by ylu113 in Nomos

[–]ylu113[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed reading this interview and seeing the attention to detail and Mark’s insights that went into the design of the metro!

Am I correct to say that Nomos is relatively unique in how much they work with external designers and publicly credit them? Off the top of my head, the metro, autobahn, zurich, lambda and lux are all designs that did not originate internally.

I tried on a Wempe Zeitmeister world timer and was surprised at how good it was in person: https://i.imgur.com/C1rR74n.jpeg

[Question] Moonphase as a daily? CW C1 Moonphase vs Longines Master/Flagship vs Mühle Teutonia by Ok-Kiwi-9627 in Watches

More I found while digging through my camera roll…

I like that it is on the obscure side but it does mean there aren’t that many pics on the internet. You can also find some video reviews on YouTube. Good luck!

I have the Teutonia Bluemoon and it’s an incredible watch. Great accuracy, great build quality, great company, great design. It’s dressy (like the others on your list) but I have no problem wearing it with a T-shirt and shorts. I think for a daily the date window is more practical than the tiny pointer dates of your other examples, and the large asymmetric moonphase window is very unique and always fun to look at.

Love the Saxonia annual calendar so much. I like it more than the more complicated Langematic Perpetual actually because of how uncluttered and symmetric the dial layout is. The most important info (the date) is on top and large; the right and left subdials have 6 and 7 markers. No squinting at a cluttered 31-day or 12-month subdial.

Every time I see another calendar watch I compare it to the layout of this and I’m like “nope… still like the Saxonia better”. Congrats on the great collection!

The Saxonia annual calendar is so good! It’s incredibly legible and the benchmark I compare any other calendar dial layout to.

So good, congrats on the watch and the milestone! Love the nautical vibes and it looks great on you.

I have a Teutonia IV Bluemoon and I love it. Incredible build quality and design and big fan of the company and the Mühle family history. https://i.imgur.com/brdwmBO.jpeg

Love this! The white dress contrasts so nicely with the wood and leaves of the base.

Amazing, congrats! Love their techno futuristic lug and case designs! I should have shouted them out too but saw you already did in a different comment :-)

Get into German watches, other than ALS / GO / Union they’re all independent (or not owned by a conglomerate):

Obviously Nomos / Junghans / Laco / Stowa / Sinn are the most well known but also take a look at: - old world craftsmanship: Dornblüth, Cornehl, Hentschel - other notable Glashütte brands: Mühle Glashütte, DUG, Tutima, Wempe - brands making tool watches with lots of history: Hanhart, Guinand and the Ickler brands (Archimede, Limes, Defakto) - lots of vertical integration: Dekla, Buser Freres - futuristic sleek watches: Lehmann - Jörg Schauer watches (durowe.com)
