iF design award
for NOMOS Glashütte
“A Symbol of the Modern Age:” Tangomat GMT Plus from NOMOS Glashütte has won the
iF product design award 2013. Last year, NOMOS Zürich was granted this prestigious
accolade
Glashütte, December 2012. Out of more than 3000 products, NOMOS Glashütte was
able to win over the 49 members of the international jury with its Tangomat GMT Plus.
The special feature of this watch, which is based on the design of the classic Tangente
timepiece, is a second time zone and a new dial.
The designers of this unusual wristwatch with its automatic winding mechanism have
focused on an especially clear and legible dial and simple operation. Inside the watch,
the NOMOS movement Xi provides optimal accuracy.
The iF design awards are amongst the most prestigious international design prizes, ho-
noring what are officially designated “Symbols of the Modern Age.” NOMOS Glashütte’s
Zürich automatic watch received such an award in 2012. The Glashütte manufactory is
delighted to add the latest prize to an already long list of awards for NOMOS’ Tangente/
Tangomat family: For the Tangomat GMT (“Wristwatch of the Year 2012”) and its siblings
in the NOMOS catalog, the iF product design award is the 47th award since the year
2000.
The iF design awards 2013 ceremony will take place in Munich next February.
