Even in the digital age, mechanical wristwatches are more than ever an expression of personal lifestyle. The Minimatik watch from NOMOS Glashütte fascinates at first glance with its slender and minimalist design language. Featuring refined proportions with smooth flowing lines, it fits snugly around the arm of its wearer. A small inscription on the white silver-plated dial marks it as part of NOMOS’ new neomatik series. The watch owes its exceptionally flat profile to the mere 3.2 mm thick DUW 3001 automatic movement within. This proprietary NOMOS movement is only a touch thicker than that of the hand-wound model and possesses excellent accuracy, mechanical sophistication and durability. The distinctive character of Minimatik is further enhanced by meticulous details in cyan blue that skilfully underline its elegant modern face and symbolise the innovation contained within. This wristwatch successfully merges high-grade mechanics with a contemporary form – making it stand out with a fresh and clear style.
Statement by the Jury
With its pronounced flat case, the Minimatik wristwatch elevates minimalism into new spheres. Its automatic movement, which measures only 3.2 mm in height, represents an impressive innovation. It is fascinating how perfectly the movement is fitted into the watch case. An expression of high expertise are also the well-balanced proportions of the dial and hands as well as their sophisticated colour concept.
