Just in time for Baselworld a new NOMOS is arriving in watch stores: The perfect Glashütte watch for sunny dispositions with a small budget. For this watch, the Glashütte watch manufacture NOMOS has developed a caliber that will bring the brand a large head start in terms of research and development. The fifth movement after Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, Caliber ETA, doesn’t need batteries and it never needs to be wound – though it is not an automatic movement: ETA is the first wearable sundial in the history of Glashütte. This watch, which functions according to the principle of the so-called farmers’ ring, is extremely comfortable, and it leaves the wrist free for other jewelry. The small NOMOS sundial is worn on a band around the neck. Its handling is very, very simple. One only need to set the approximate date on a rotating ring, let the sun shine a little, and hold the watch in its direction. The light coming through a little hole in the ring projects a dot of light onto a time scale found inside the ring allowing one to read the time. Regarding precision, the sundial can’t quite take on a mechanical NOMOS caliber. And when it’s raining, it can’t be counted on either. But, this watch is a) beautiful; b) incredibly inexpensive for a true Glashütte timepiece; and c) it is water-resistant to any depth. The ring is crafted from stainless steel and the inscriptions are laser engraved using a difficult process.
