* SEEN IT CHEAPER ELSEWHERE? LET US KNOW AND WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO BEAT IT.
* Metro Datum Gangreserve was the first release within the Metro family and has since won countless design awards for its beautiful yet understated design. Housing the in-house, manually wound DUW 4401 movement, with date display and power reserve window. It is also their first watch to be powered by the in-house designed and manufactured 'swing system' (or escapement). Very few watch manufacturers actually produce their own escapement from scratch yet NOMOS can now call themselves one.
* Aside from the fantastic technological advances within this piece, Metro has all of the beautiful design elements that one would come to expect from NOMOS. Created with renowned designer Mark Braun, Metro is completely sophisticated and well proportioned but with an added youthful splash of colour and energy.

Nomos was founded in the small town of Glashütte in eastern Germany just after the fall of the Berlin wall. Even though the market was demanding Quartz, Nomos took a chance and focused on producing purely mechanical watches.
Today, Nomos Glashütte is one of only a handful of watch companies to call themselves a manufactory, meaning it is a company which develops and constructs its own movements rather than buying in movements from other companies.
Nomos live by the ethos ‘Deutscher Werkbund’, which means good design affordable for the many.
