It is an attention grabbing design and considerably fantastic collector’s merchandise in Nomos’ historical past, however the actual star right here is the yellow gold watch, ref. 112. I took a photograph of this watch and fortunately moved on with out pondering a lot about it till I despatched it to the NCA individuals. Their response was primarily, “Holy cow, it really exists!” Apparently the watch had been pictured in catalogs and marketed on-line as being accessible from 1997 to 1999, however nobody in the neighborhood had ever seen one in individual. In reality, that they had thought of asking Nomos if one had ever been made, however they by no means bought that far. This photograph is likely one of the few items of proof {that a} yellow gold watch of this sort was ever really made. Apparently the demand for gold watches was not that nice provided that the demand was in any other case inexpensive. Nomos did not even appear to know precisely what number of have been made, however I am guessing it is most likely lower than ten, perhaps even lower than 5. When you see one, soar on it.
