In partnership with NOMOS Glashütte, we're exploring the world , watches and stories of the German brand, continuing with this NOMOS Father's Day Gift Guide. Here are five great gift ideas perfect for every day, and every dad.
With Father's Day just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about celebrating the father figure in your life, or perhaps - if you're a dad yourself - treating yourself to something extra special this year. And what could be a better memento of quality time spent together than a watch from NOMOS Glashütte?
Regardless of whether your dear old dad is sporty, artistic or prefers a more classic dress watch, there's something in the NOMOS lineup for every father. And with every NOMOS timepiece available online, with free, fast shipping plus optional engraving (for that added personal touch), showing your appreciation to dad with a new watch has never been easier. But in case you need a little help choosing a model, with the help of NOMOS Glashütte, we've put together 5 great Father's Day gift ideas -- one for every type of dad.
For the Sporty Dad: the Tangente Sport
If your Father's Day plans this year involve getting out early and hitting the trails, be it hiking or on a bike, there's one NOMOS that's the perfect companion, and the hint is in the name: the Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date . NOMOS's famous Tangente design is scaled up to a sizeable 42mm, and the refined steel bracelet, 300 meters of water resistance and legible, luminous dial (all powered by neomatik technology) results in a watch that's sporty enough to bring along on dad's next outdoor adventure, but also elegant enough to wear to Father's Day dinner afterwards. Available with either a white or marine black dial, all of the above makes the Tangente Sport a natural choice for the dad who loves spending time soaking up the sun and the fresh air.
For the Car-Loving Dad: the Autobahn
Dads are often asked to do a lot of driving: all those errands, extracurricular activities and school runs can leave dad feeling like your very own personal Uber driver. If that's the case, you might want to opt for a NOMOS that will remind him of the joys of the open road. The Autobahn takes its name, and design inspiration, from the famous German highways, and this distinctive watch, made in partnership with renowned designer Werner Aisslinger, evokes a sense of speed in motion. With dramatic curves and sweeping lines, it is a refined interpretation of a driving watch - and one guaranteed to make the daily commute a daily joy.
For the Artistic Dad: the Ahoi neomatik
If your dad has always blazed his own trail in life, we've found the perfect NOMOS to help him stand out from the pack: the Ahoi neomatik in Siren Blue or Red . The Ahoi is NOMOS' do-anything take on a dive watch, with plenty of water resistance (up to 200 meters), a solid case and hard-wearing fabric strap. It's a watch that's made to be worn, not just put on display - although, when you opt for an Ahoi with a vivid blue or red dial, it's sure to stand out. This is a fun, bold choice for the father who's always lived a more colorful life.
For the Classic Dad: the Ludwig 38 Date
For the dad who likes their suits formal and their buttons buttoned-down, we'd suggest one of the traditionalists in the NOMOS catalogue: the Ludwig 38 Date . The perfectly-proportioned 38mm case, ever-stylish shell-cordovan strap and the purity of heat-blued hands and Roman numerals all add up to one handsome watch. The in-house DUW 4101 is a manually wound caliber, making it the perfect fit for old souls. Equal parts calm and collected, Ludwig is a great option for any father in the market for a classic dress watch.
For the Dapper Dad: the Orion neomatik 41 Date
Have you ever had the sneaking suspicion that your dad might be… stylish? (We're not talking "dad style" either.) If your father's more comfortable in cashmere and doesn't own a single pair of cargo shorts, he's going to need a watch that fits him as well as the rest of his wardrobe. Which is where the NOMOS Orion neomatik 41 Date comes in. The Orion is as pared back as a watch can get, with slender hands and delicate baton hour markers (plus an always-useful date display at three). The steel case exudes sophistication, and the neomatik calibre is among Glashütte's best. In this olive gold version, the warm, rose gold tones of the hands and hours are offset by the subtle, subdued olive green dial. If your dad prefers a chic and understated look, this is the NOMOS for him.
