Press Release: Tangente ‘Red Dot’ 2018 By NOMOS GLASHÜTTE X THE HOUR GLASS.




SINGAPORE, 27 SEPTEMBER 2018 – Following on from the success of our initial collaboration with NOMOS Glashütte, we’ve partnered up again to release a new member to the ‘Red Dot’ collection. This time around, we’re proud to announce the launch of our second watch designed in collaboration with NOMOS Glashütte. The Tangente ‘Red Dot’ 2018. Inspired by the ‘Little Red Dot’, the 38 mm Tangente ‘Red Dot’ is limited to 100 in deep blue and 100 in salmon. Retailing for SGD 3200.


 Not too curvy. Not too angular. For over 25 years the Tangente has been winning the hearts of both collectors and design judges, picking up plenty of prizes along the way. Perhaps the most ‘NOMOS’ NOMOS watch, the Tangente represents the pared back minimalism and exceptional craftsmanship the brand is famous for.


Tangente ‘Red Dot’
Made in Germany. Delivered to Singapore. Worn the world over. Whether you live in Singapore, Jakarta or America, the 'Red Dot' is a nice reminder that wherever you are, we're all connected through our love of watches. That reminder comes in the form of a little red dot positioned at the 6 o’clock position.


Ticking away inside the Tangente ‘Red Dot’ 2018 is the manually wound Alpha calibre. One of the brands most enduring movements. Robust, accurate and reliable – the Alpha ticks all the boxes. Featuring a sapphire case-back, the Tangente Limited Edition is a charmer from all angles. Take a peek at the back, it’s like looking through a window into Glashütte. Featuring tempered blue screws, ribbing, perlage and sunburst decorative finishes, the Alpha movement is both dependable and beautiful!


“We are delighted that our partnership with The Hour Glass is going so well”, says NOMOS CEO Uwe Ahrendt. “It’s been a great honour to team up with The Hour Glass for a second time, this time releasing two beautiful limited edition versions of our most iconic model.”

Taking the Tangente to the World – Launch of our Online Pop-Up
The Tangente ‘Red Dot’ will be available both online and offline. For our second collaboration with NOMOS Glashütte, we have set-up a dedicated online pop-up store for fans of NOMOS to shop the collection.

Affectionately known as the ‘Little Red Dot’ – in reference to Singapore’s appearance on the map – our collaboration with NOMOS is a way for us to reach out to our loyal base of watch collectors and connect the dots, so to speak. Regardless of the city (or ‘dot’ on the map) you call home, our mission is to promote watch culture the world over. So, whether you prefer to drop by one of our boutiques or have the watch dropped off at your door, we have changed how we do watch launches to cater to a wider audience of international watch collectors.

The online pop-up and launch of the Tangente ‘Red Dot’ 2018 exclusive capsule collection will go live at 9pm (GMT +8) on the 27th of September. For those watch geeks living in distant lands, they can expect their Tangente ‘Red Dot’ 2018 to arrive between 7-14 days of ordering. And on all orders, we are offering free insured priority shipping. If you happen to live in Singapore you’re more than welcome to stop by and pick it up in-store.

Online Available via the online pop-up store from 27 September, 9pm (GMT +8) at nomosreddot.thehourglass.com. We accept Visa, Mastercard and Amex.
