My largest Nomos is 38 mm ,fits my 7.5 inch wrist fine.

 

My Tangente is 38mm, my wrist is 7.25" and I often feel the watch is slightly too big and the 35 would have looked a tad better.

With Nomos you can't go small enough.

 

To be honest, the angular 47.7mm lugs give me a nervous twitch. Beautiful watch... but those lugs 😬

 

My Metro is 37mm, my wrist is 6.25" and I have no concerns about how it fits. The size and the white space on the dial and the position of the complications are all part of the design, which is perfection in my mind. This exact model wouldn't work as well scaled down, IMO.

My 701 Club (36mm) feels more classically proportioned on my wrist. It is amazing how the two models, only 1mm difference in case size, wear so differently.

 

That Gangsreserve is awesome. It was actually that model vs the Metro Neomatik Silvercut 1114 for me, but it was an easy choice as I found a 1114 on the GM for about 2700. The cheapest 1101 was 3100 and not on hand (temporarily out of stock). I think one of the biggest factors that makes them look so different is the bezel. The Metro is like 90-95% dial, 5-10% bezel. The Club is more like 75-80% dial, 20-25% bezel.

I'm thinking of getting a Minimatik in the distant future... That would make a nice dress watch IMO.

 

I stick to the smaller 35mm versions and sometimes less for my 6.75"/17.1cm wrist.

 

38mm on my 6.75” wrist. No regrets, though I’ve considered getting a 36mm model as well just for the sake of variety. The 38mm model fits just fine given my very flat wrist.

 

This is great op, I’ve thought of this also. Btw, you need to post a picture of yours, since it’s your post. So far, the lugs look long even on 36mms. I once owned a tangente at 35.5 and felt it’s lugs made the watch look odd on my 160mm wrist

 

This. With Nomos the lug to lug is the number to watch, not the diameter. My 36mm club has a longer lug to lug measurement than my 41mm Sinn U50!

 

I wear a metro 35mm with 42mm lug-to-lug on my 6.25 inch wrist. I like it. If I wanted, I could probably go up a size with the metro model which has compact lug to lug.

 

I have three Nomos watches at three different sizes, a 36mm Ahoi, a 38.5mm Club and a 40mm Zurich Weltzeit that I wear on my 7" wrist. The Club and the Weltzeit wear pretty similarly as they are both just a hair under 50mm lug to lug. This is basically the limit of what I feel works for my wrist. I had a 40mm Ahoi at one point that I wore as my main watch for 3 years, but in the end, the 51mm l2l combined with the all dial design, ended up just being too much for me, espescially when I wore my other watches. Last year I bought the 36mm version of the same Ahoi and I have no complaints.

That said, I think my favorite Nomos on my wrist is the 36mm Club and if my 38.5mm Club was available in that size, I'd happily switch out. I may still buy another 36mm Club down the line, but will wait for the right inspiration on it.

 

I have two of the larger Club models (the Onyx is 40 mm and the Club Sport is 42).

I love them both and don't particularly care what others have to say about them being dinner plates, hockey pucks, or whatever the put down of the day happens to be. I have a 7.5-inch wrist, which helps, but if the watch is comfortable and you like it, why waste energy on the other stuff?

 

My only Nomos is the Tangomat GMT. Although it's "only" 40mm in diameter, the effective lug-to-lug is 50mm so its long, straight lugs do overhang my 6.5" wrist, making it too big by my normal standards. If the lugs angled down towards the wrist (or were a bit shorter) like some other Nomos models, then it might be fine (the lugs on the fancier World Time version do angle down a bit, but I've never handled one in person). Still, I love the Tangomat GMT's functionality & it's still a great dressy travel watch.

 

I recently got a Nomos World Time at 39.9mm. I really like it on my 7.25" wrist.

 

I have a 6.75 inch wrist that’s mostly flat…

NOMOS Ludwig Neomatik (36mm, lug to lug 46)

The watch I want to buy, but I’m thinking is too big is the Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar. It is 40 mm and a lug to lug of 47 mm. I know I took the picture closer than the NOMOS one above, but is this too big for my wrist?

 

In my opinion, the Glashütte is reasonable (just my taste though, you do you). To be honest, I have a 40mm (46.6mm l2l) Longines Master Moonphase. It's the absolute max I would go, but there's no overhang and it looks rather nice in a mirror pic or looking at me (not a wrist shot). I think as long as there is no luge overhang and the watch wears naturally (doesn't wobble or feel awkward) the size is all about personal preference.

 

Almost everyone says that Nomos wear too large. I have the Tangente Update 41 on a 7.5” wrist, and I think it looks fine. Others may disagree.

 

I mean I'm not the watch police, but I think that's near perfect fit for a Nomos

 

Club Sport Neomatic 37 on my 7 inch wrist, as others have said bezel thickness, dial color and or course L2L all come into play with Nomos watches

 

Care to share a pic?

 

How Big Is Your Nomos?

Something I was actually curious about... How big is your Nomos watch in comparison to your wrist diameter. I know the intended aesthetic is supposedly small watch diameter on larger wrist (because most Nomos watches are like 90% dial). I actually purchased a Metro Neomatic online that's 38.5mm...

Here is my 29.5x29.5 Tetra on ~6.5" wrist. I find the far away mirror photo is more representative of the size than a wrist shot.

I also have a Tangente, Orion, and Metro Neomatik all in 35mm.

I really want a Tetra. Great watch and killer strap.

 

I have the nomos neomatik silver it and wouldn’t go any smaller. I find the square ones look too small and I’m a woman. Nomos watches look smaller on wrists since they are a slimmer profile

 

this is IMO and most other people’s the opposite of what is said about Nomos. They generally wear bigger than the diameter suggest because of the all dial designs and long lugs on most models.

 

If your Nomos is so big, how come it won't fight me?

 

They definitely wear less bulky due to their thin cases and low weight but I believe they appear bigger visually due to the high dial-to-bezel ratio.

 

Do you think a nomos club 36mm on a 17 in wrist is too small?

My Nomos Club 701 is 36mm. It looks rather small but it couldn't be bigger for me due to the veeeery long lugs.
My other Nomos is Tangente 38. That's really the maximum Nomos to me. At the same time I wear a Mido Commander Chrono which with its 42mm do not wear really bigger.
Well, the smallest Nomos I have is the Sundial, which doesn't stay at all on my wrist anyway

 

Do you think a nomos club 36mm on a 17 in wrist is too small?

17 inch wrist may be pushing it!

17 cm wrist should wear perfect!

 

Ooops typo, yes 17 cm my apologies

 

My wrist is 7.5” and I have two NOMOS watches in the watchbox and one more on the way.

Tangente Neomatik 41 Update looks great, neither too large nor too small.

Orion Neomatik 39 Silvercut is also a great size that, strangely, looks larger on my 7.5” wrist than the actually larger Tangente does.

I also have the Club Sport Neomatik 37 Petrol on order and totally expect this smaller watch to wear about the same due to its long lugs.

Of course I wear watches ranging from 32mm to 44mm and all look great, as this shot of my 35mm Omega Constellation shows.

 

I'll contribute since the thread has been resurrected.

37mm 744 on my wrist which is ~7.33mm. 37 is as small as I go but as stated already, it wears larger.

I think you mean 7.33 inches, sir!
