NOMOS Glashütte Zürich watches

The Nomos Glashütte Zürich is the Glashütte brand's automatic watch with angled, pointed lugs, a shape that sets it apart from most other Nomos models. It was designed by Hannes Wettstein, a Swiss industrial designer best known for furniture and lighting and a cofounder of the watch brand Ventura, who named it after his home town. Nomos added it in 2009; Wettstein died in 2008.

The time-only Zürich (801) and the Zürich Anthrazit (803) share a 39.7 mm steel case 9.65 mm thick, with Nomos's in-house automatic Epsilon calibre. The Zürich Datum (802) and Datum Anthrazit (804) add a date in the same case. In 2012 Nomos added the Blaugold (822), with a galvanised, sunburst-brushed metallic blue dial, and the Braungold (823), with a metallic brown one.

The Zürich Weltzeit (805) is the world-time version, slightly larger at 39.9 mm and 10.85 mm thick. Its DUW 5201 is Nomos's first automatic calibre with the in-house Nomos swing system escapement, with a 24-hour indicator and up to 42 hours of reserve. A pusher at 2 o'clock advances the local time in one-hour steps, and a disc of cities names the time zones. The True Blue (807) is the Weltzeit with a blue dial.

The Weltzeit has also been the base for small runs. Nomos made a Singapore edition for the retailer The Hour Glass, with Singapore in red in place of Hong Kong on the city disc, in 35 white-dial and 15 salmon-dial pieces; these are the Red Dot Silver (805.S6) and Red Dot Salmon (805.S7). Other limited Weltzeit runs include the Manila (50 pieces), the black-dialled Amsterdam (25), the green Arab Watch Club (26) and the 5th Avenue (100). Among the time-only watches are the Zürich 40 Jahre Zeit Magazin (801.ZM), with a grey dial, and the Hello Hannes (801.HW), limited to 50 pieces.
