Schneesturm embodies a colorless canvas, devoid of associations. Well, almost. Unlike other hues, pure white possesses a remarkable ability to exert a powerful influence on its own. However, we've introduced a touch of cool gray-blue to the sub-seconds dial of this Tangente Datum, complemented by swirling hints of black—because black always accompanies white impressively. Drawing some parallels with Tangente Datum Super Sardine, the outcome is a watch imbued with a vintage character that accentuates and fortifies the layout of the classic watch design. Not that it required any enhancement, of course.

 

This watch is part of a set of 31 limited edition watches in 31 unique color ways. Created in limited edition of 175 pieces each, these were made to celebrate 175 years of watchmaking in the town of Glashuette in typical NOMOS fashion. They're all based on the template provided by the Tangente 38 Date with see-through case back. As a thank-you to collectors, the watches in this set (don't call it the Super 31) are priced several hundred euro's below the standard production model. They're available at select NOMOS retail partners - including Ace Jewelers. We'll be getting only one of each colorway.
