A watch is not only a recorder of time, but also a carrier of emotions and ideas. In recent days, Nomos Glashütte has launched a limited edition watch specially designed for Doctors Without Borders. What kind of humanitarian sentiment is hidden behind the red Roman numerals on this watch? Let’s delve into the uniqueness of this watch and see how it perfectly combines the art of watchmaking with humanistic care.
Nomos limited edition watch combined with humanitarianism
In the watch industry, it is nothing new for brands to convey ideas and values through special designs. However, when this concept comes for Médecins Sans Frontières (Médecins Sans Frontières), everyone will probably appreciate this special intention more.
Yes, this new limited edition watch launched by Nomos Glashütte is for Doctors Without Borders. It is not only a recorder of time, but also a symbol of humanistic value. Let’s take a look at its unique features next.
Watch design and symbol of humanistic values
As a new limited edition watch launched by Nomos Glashütte, the biggest highlight is naturally the touch of red decoration on the Roman numeral “Ⅻ” at 12 o’clock.
The dial of the watch is enamel white, with black hands and Roman numerals. The Roman numerals at 12 o’clock are decorated in red. Although this combination seems simple, it has profound meaning.
Nomos Glashütte is a German watch brand whose founder served in the Nazi army. Therefore, Nomos is very restrained in its design, using black and white as the main colors and trying to avoid the use of red. The Roman numerals at 12 o’clock are decorated in red, which not only breaks the monotony of black and white tones, but also symbolizes humanistic values and the spirit of unity.
Exquisite movement and watchmaking craftsmanship
In addition to its unique design, the technical specifications of this watch are also impressive. It is equipped with the DUW 3001 automatic movement developed by Nomos, which is only 3.2 mm thick and provides a 43-hour power reserve. The exquisite craftsmanship on the movement is evident. The golden balance wheel, blue screws, and finely polished surface all demonstrate Nomos’ exquisite skills in watchmaking.
The touch of red on the movement is also very meaningful. Nomos applied the red decoration design on the movement to this limited edition watch. It is not only beautiful, but also conveys the brand’s support and concern for humanitarianism.
The collectible value and brand responsibility of limited edition watches
As a limited edition watch, the number of releases will naturally not be too large. This new watch launched by Nomos Glashütte will be limited to 250 pieces worldwide. The 36.4 mm model is priced at 30,300 yuan, and the 38.5 mm model is priced at 32,200 yuan.
Because of its limited quantity, this watch also has a higher collection value. This is one of the reasons why watch enthusiasts expressed their concern after Nomos released the news.
But for Nomos, the more important significance of this watch lies in the brand concept behind it. As a charity watch, 12,500 euros of its selling price will be used to support Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), and this is not the first time Nomos has supported Doctors Without Borders through a watch. Since 2012, Nomos has collaborated with Doctors Without Borders to raise funds through special edition watches to support the organization’s humanitarian aid work. To date, Nomos has raised more than 1.3 million euros for Doctors Without Borders.
This newly launched Nomos Glashütte limited edition watch model is 282.S2 and 250.S2, which will add an additional 12,500 euros to Doctors Without Borders, and together express the spirit of humanistic care and solidarity.
