Historical significance
Nomos Glashütte Tangente 38 mm Salmon 18k sits within Nomos Glashütte's Tangente line, introduced in 2015. It carries the house codes established since 1990 — 18k white gold case, salmon dial and spring drive — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.

Brand history
Nomos Glashütte has spent more than 36 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Tangente, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Roland Schwertner established Nomos Glashütte in 1990, working from Germany at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Nomos Glashütte calibre produced today.
