NOMOS Photo Essay - Big Bang To the BuckIn April I visited the German watch capital called Glashütte, near Dresden. You'll find 10 watch brands positioned in this little town that has a rich ticking history. Only three these brand can call themselves manufacture, meaning they produce their very own movements in-house, and Nomos is one of them.The primary Nomos building is found within a former railway station which still can be seen by several details from the building and by be simple indisputable fact that trains still overlook just a couple of meters away.Following a pleasant meeting with Mr Uwe Ahrendt (CEO) and Ms Ute Fischer-Graf (PR) the factory visit started. From the large glass meeting room, which is near the tracks, we go lower the stairs towards machine room. From the hallway you will find there's number of watchmaker portraits as well as their putty. You'd think "hey  it's putty" however if you look closer you'll notice that each watchmaker has his very own signature of handling it.From the machine room, just as in all other watch companies, there are lots of CNC machines cutting the many parts with extreme precision. The primary whatever noticed became a wire cutting machine. Well I didn't really realize that immediately, I had to ask what exactly is was since I never saw one before. It's utilized to cut small movement parts insanely precise with minimal tolerances. This machine can cut thinner than a natural splendor.We go on to the cleaning room the spot that the freshly cut parts are cleaned ultrasonic in numerous fluids.With the door we turn out outside, crossing the tunnel within the railway into the area the spot that the small parts like screws, gears, axles etc. are produced. To offer you a perception of the scale I took a photo of a few freshly machined parts on top of a single eurocent coin. The coin measures ± 16mm in diameter.Up next is when the gears are cut, replika watches little by little by just one person. What appears to be an uncomplicated job is really something you should really pay attention to watches . Each gear is determined on manually to take and are easily damaged thus useless.Only then do we head up to the finishing & qc department where I noticed a smaller sign saying 'for us 1/1000mm isn't tolerance, yet a distance', it is watchmaking at its best.After seeing the manufacturing part of the tour we venture out for supper on the other Nomos building across Glashütte which has a nice view above the city.In the canteen the 'Goldene Unruh 2013' award is displayed.The tour continues and i also be able to fulfill the folks who come up with the movements. Before these in-house made movements are cased up these are tried and tested and re-regulated as appropriate.While talking to a Dutch watchmaker (working at NOMOS) I spot the handles within the drawers. These are generally made out of the straps applied to the replica watches. Nomos buys the material (Shell Cordovan) from Horween in Chicago. Nice little detail, on several of the straps you can find (component of) the emblem stamp.The tour ends at the service department within the attic.On the long ago towards the main Nomos building we pass along the Nomos store. It's located within the building the place that the watchmaking started last 1845. Today there are roughly 2000 people working in the Glashuette watch industry, about 145 accomplish that for Nomos.While i returned to my hotel I already knew precisely what the title with this photo essay would be. Nomos is a down to earth brand and it's impressive to view the replica watches they make , especially for the cost range their in. Starting more than 1000 euro's by having an in-house movement it's really a big bang to the buck velcro watch bands .Additional information for the model range and technical details is available on the official Nomos website. replica breitling watch model
