The dial consists of contrasting black painted minute and 5 minute markers, which when paired with the matching black 'syringe' hands, offers a restrained, yet extremely legible display of the time. Within the dial sits a sub-seconds dial, with an orange hand offering a touch of color to the minimalist design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Metro embraces and encapsulates the Bauhaus design language that Nomos does so well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor a look at the original announcement for the model, please click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.hodinkee.com\/blogs\/journal\/nomos-glashutte-metro-chronometer-for-hodinkee\" title=\"HERE\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe little town of Glashütte, situated close to the eastern edge of Germany and home to only 7,000 people, is the birthplace of German watchmaking. Glashütte is home to brands like A. Lange \u0026amp; Söhne, Mühle, and Glashütte Original, all incredible brands in their own right. But there is another brand that calls this little area of Germany home, and that is NOMOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eNOMOS was founded by Roland Schwertner on January 10th, 1990, two months after the fall of the Berlin Wall. For the next 15 years the company created multiple patents for watch components--like date mechanisms and power reserve indicators--all in preparation for the day they would build their own movements in-house. That day came in 2005 when the firm released the Tangomat, powered by an automatic caliber all their own, and at a price point that virtually no other manufacturer could touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs the years rolled on, NOMOS continued in that spirit of affordable self-sufficiency, one of creating in-house movements and selling their watches at prices that belie the care and quality of construction that go into producing them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nomos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31557421498455,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/NOMOS_HODINKEE_METRO_38_AS03630_6.jpg?v=1582925905","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/nomos-metro-38-for-hodinkee-as03630","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
