Made in Glashütte: 6.8. Gauging straps

The strap of a NOMOS watch must, above all, be comfortable to wear. The focus here is on how it feels to the touch. Smooth leather or suede? Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan or vegan Alcantara? Textile or metal? NOMOS now offers a whole range of different straps and bracelets in various materials, colors, and finishes. They must also undergo strict incoming goods inspections—no strap is exempt. In addition to meeting visual criteria, the correct lug width is also checked. After all, the strap should neither be too tight nor too loose on the lugs of the case. To ensure this, the straps are subjected to a gauge test. The end piece of the strap is inserted into the first gauge. If it fits, the strap is not too wide. A second gauge checks whether the strap is too narrow; it must not fit into this gauge. Simple, fast, reliable. Quality in no time at all! nomos-glashuette.com #nomos #nomosglashuette
