Boring? No way! A time-only hand winder is the purist form of timepiece. Everybody should have one (or more).

Beautiful acquisition. Congrats!

It is exceptionally clean, elegant, and modern with the font, yet has the throw back sub-seconds. It wears large as it is all dial. The movement is stunning. Boring does not come to mine when I think of Nomos.

Thx George, well said! As it's the only piece I own with roman numerals I gravitate to it an awful lot when perusing my watch box . . .

I totally agree. That's the main reason why I love my 1960 Omega cal 600. It's time only, and manual. I absolutely love the simplicity of it. Wonderful Nomos and certainly not boring!
