I'm mad at NOMOS (NOMOS Tetra 27 Review)

Is the NOMOS Tetra 27 one of the most underrated square watches you can buy? In this review, I take a closer look at two of the newest NOMOS Tetra models—and explain why they might be the perfect expression of NOMOS Glashütte. With its distinctive 27.5mm square case, Bauhaus-inspired design and in-house manual-winding DUW 4001 movement, the Tetra offers something genuinely original in a category dominated by watches such as the Cartier Tank and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. It is architectural, eccentric and unmistakably NOMOS. I compare the minimalist two-hand Tetra with its geometric inner square against the more traditional small-seconds model with temperature-blued hands. We also examine the dimensions, wrist presence, 6.1mm case thickness, 53-hour power reserve, 50 metres of water resistance, Cordovan leather strap and the choice between a sapphire or closed caseback. The NOMOS Tetra certainly isn’t for everyone. Square watches remain niche, the proportions can be challenging, and it doesn’t fit neatly into the conventional dress-watch or everyday-watch categories. But that may also be exactly what makes it so compelling. Is the Tetra the coolest watch NOMOS makes—and could it be one of the best alternatives to the Cartier Tank? Let me know which version you would choose: the geometric two-hander or the classic small-seconds model. This video features watches supplied by NOMOS Glashütte for review.
