NOMOS Glashütte Unveils James Joyce-Inspired Orion neomatik New Black as First Release of 2024
In a nod to the iconic Irish stylist, dandy, and novelist James Joyce, NOMOS Glashütte introduces the Orion neomatik new black, a timepiece that pays homage to Joyce’s penchant for wristwatches during an era dominated by pocket watches. As the first release of 2024, this model offers an elegant reinterpretation of NOMOS’s minimalist Orion watch.
Available in three versions with diameters of 36.4, 38.5, and 40.5 millimeters, respectively, the Orion neomatik new black showcases dress watches with subtle gold and silver accents against black dials. Designed for a slim fit on the wrist, these watches house in-house built automatic calibers DUW 3001 and DUW 6101. Even the largest case, featured in the Orion neomatik 41 date new black, maintains a mere 9.4-millimeter height. The black dial, achieved through galvanization, elegantly complements the lenticular stainless steel case. Continuing the NOMOS tradition, a separate sub-dial seamlessly integrates the seconds into the main dial.
This release follows the success of the special anniversary edition, Orion neomatik – 175 Years Watchmaking Glashütte, which paid tribute to vintage masterpieces of Glashütte watchmaking with a silver-plated dial and tempered blue hands. The Orion neomatik new black, now a permanent part of the NOMOS collection, extends the legacy with its sophisticated design and James Joyce-inspired aesthetics.
The Orion neomatik new black is set to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike, drawing on the literary and fashion sensibilities of James Joyce. As a tribute to Joyce’s forward-thinking style, this release embodies the spirit of innovation and elegance that has become synonymous with NOMOS Glashütte. Watch enthusiasts can explore and acquire this distinguished timepiece as it becomes available through authorized NOMOS retailers worldwide.
