The Lambda retains a round shape familiar to Nomos lovers, but the case is a new shape and comes in at a larger than usual 42mm in both white and rose gold. It’s still thin at 8.9mm thick, and the dial space is dominated by a massive power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, counting from 84 hours to 0 hours. The movement is manually wound too, so you’ll actually get to see this power reserve hand move over the course of a few days. It’s a cool execution that feels very much within the Nomos aesthetic.

Nomos has never gone down the same paths as others, and that is part of the attraction and charm of this brand. With the Lux and Lambda models, each of which is limited to just 100 pieces retailing between $17,800 (for the Lambda in rose gold) and $20,500 (for the Lux in white gold), it enters the world of contemporary fine watchmaking. But make no mistake, the stainless steel models that connoisseurs have come to know, love, and afford are destined to remain Nomos’s core business.
