The watches are of the highest quality with unique features that can only be found in the watch-makers there just like this stunning ‘true blue’ version of its Zurich Worldtimer from Nomos.
This watch features 24 timezones. The watch displays time around the world using the patented world time function that uses a single pusher to change time zones. The beautifully decorated Nomos calibre Xi is shown off on the reverse through a sapphire crystal caseback. Price starts from USD6,000.
