The New Nomos Lux Weissgold Watch

Nomos has expanded their distinctive line of watches into two new upmarket model lines, the Lux and the Lambda. Available this November, the Lux and Lambda (discussed here) represent a new direction for the conservative Glash tte?brand as they move into small batch production of gold watches that are powered by a new range of in-house movements.While we will cover the Lambda in an separate post, the Lux is arguably the outlier in Nomos' newly expanded lineup.
