A rare 2017 Nomos Lambda 39 Reference 953 in 18ct rose gold, an exceptional expression of haute horlogerie from the celebrated Glashütte manufacture. Its beautifully refined 39mm case frames an expansive galvanised white silver-plated dial, where elegant blued steel hands, oversized subsidiary seconds and a sweeping 48-hour power reserve display create a wonderfully distinctive yet minimalist aesthetic. The real masterpiece lies beneath the sapphire exhibition case back, revealing the extraordinary manually wound in-house Calibre DUW 1001, complete with twin mainspring barrels, screwed gold chatons, hand-finished bevels and a beautifully engraved balance cock. Paired with a StrapTailor leather strap and original solid 18ct rose gold Nomos buckle, complete with its presentation box and paperwork, this is a remarkable example of German fine watchmaking that rivals some of the very finest names in the industry.

Description

Here we have a rare 2017 Nomos Lambda 39 18ct Rose Gold Power Reserve 953 featuring a beautiful 39mm polished 18ct rose gold case that gently curves over your wrist, with slender tapered lugs. The 48mm lug-to-lug length and 9.5mm case thickness ensure a remarkably comfortable, elegant fit. On the right side, a signed crown sits proud of the case for smooth manual winding. An ultra-thin polished bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal on both sides above a striking, expansive galvanised white silver-plated dial. The dial features a prominent, beautifully swept 48-hour power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, counterbalanced by a generous sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock. Elegant, wafer-thin tempered blue steel stick hands sweep across minimalist printed dot-and-line indices, while the Nomos motif sits cleanly below the power reserve arc to complete this haute horlogerie creation. On the reverse, a screwed-down exhibition case back showcases the breathtaking, in-house manually wound Nomos Calibre DUW 1001, boasting 29 jewels and twin mainspring barrels. The movement is a true work of art from the NOMOS Atelier, displaying a hand-engraved balance cock reading "Mit Liebe in Glashütte hergestellt" (Lovingly produced in Glashütte), sunbeam-polished winding wheels, screwed gold chatons, and hand-polished bevelled edges. The watch comes paired with a 20mm StrapTailor leather strap and a solid 18ct rose gold signed pin buckle. The watch comes complete with its original Nomos presentation box and paperwork.

Personal Note

I genuinely struggle to think of many watches that offer this level of value for money in today’s market, especially when you consider that we’re talking about a relatively modern watch in 18ct rose gold. But the real magic is in the movement. The DUW 1001 is absolutely stunning, with hand-finished bevels, screwed gold chatons, beautifully decorated wheels and that wonderful hand-engraved balance cock. These are the sorts of details you’d normally associate with watches costing considerably more. Add in the beautifully restrained design, fantastic proportions, and solid gold construction, and I think this Lambda represents one of the great bargains in modern haute horlogerie. An incredible amount of watchmaking for the money. I would not hesitate to snap up this gem for your collection today!

About Nomos

Nomos was founded in 1990, just after the reunification of Germany happened with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the USSR. Based in the Glashutte region, it takes inspiration from the Bauhaus design movement. To have Glashutte on the dial, Nomos has to meet very strict quality standards. They must create at least 50 % of the watch calibre in Glashutte to receive the title of being a true Glashutte watch. They only use in-house manufactured movements, built up to 95% in the region, surpassing that requirement.
