Nomos Unveils 'Twice Unique' Collection: Where Bauhaus Meets Artistic Dials

Nomos has launched its groundbreaking 'Twice Unique' series, a testament to creative collaboration and artistic freedom within traditional watchmaking. This innovative collection serves as a platform for the brand to explore unconventional colors, intricate textures, and novel techniques, moving beyond its signature minimalist aesthetic. The range features five foundational watch models—Tetra, Tangente 33, Tangente Neomatik 38, Ludwig, and Orion—each offering a blank canvas for nine new, distinctive dial designs. These bespoke timepieces are offered in exclusive pairs, with one crafted from robust stainless steel and its counterpart from luxurious 18K yellow gold, all while showcasing a shared dial artistry.

The 'Twice Unique' collection allows Nomos to delve into diverse dial finishes through partnerships with various designers and artists. A prime example is the Urania variant of the Tangente Neomatik 38, which boasts a deep blue dial adorned with gold-toned Bauhaus-inspired numerals. What sets it apart are the minute silver dots meticulously applied by hand using a fine brush, creating a truly one-of-a-kind appearance. Moreover, numerous luminous dots illuminate in low light, evoking the beauty of a starry night sky. Other captivating designs include the smoky blue Drift dial, characterized by its hand-dyed texture and subtle gradient, transitioning from a cool light blue center to a warm dark blue edge. The playful 1966 design, inspired by a 1960s Parisian creation, fits perfectly within the square Tetra case, while the vibrant Rive Gauche pattern, derived from 1960s textile motifs, is transferred using a four-color pad printing process, ensuring each dial's unique character. Additional options like Auric, with its hand-applied gold leaf, the mirror-like lapped dial of Now, the subtly wavy Moirée, and the hand-engraved Scribble designs in both light and dark ruthenium-coated finishes further highlight the collection's artistic diversity.

This pioneering collection from Nomos, available for custom orders until the year's end with new designs slated for 2027, presents a compelling opportunity for collectors to acquire watches that marry classic design with bespoke artistry. The requirement to purchase both a stainless steel and an 18K gold version underscores the exclusivity of these pieces, ensuring their rarity and desirability. This initiative not only empowers customers to personalize their timepieces but also challenges conventional watch design by infusing artistic ingenuity into every dial. It represents a forward-thinking approach that celebrates individuality and the enduring appeal of fine craftsmanship.
