Nomos Glashuette Ludwig Automatic

Let this watch wind itself: This most classic of all NOMOS timepieces is also available with the automatic NOMOS caliber DUW 5001-with a 40-millimeter diameter, the perfect choice for confident yet traditional types. The rotor works efficiently under the white silver-plated dial. From the other side, you can watch it through the sapphire crystal glass back.
Ludwig features Roman numerals, but with IIII instead of IV. This follows watchmaking traditions-and the preferences of the NOMOS design team.
The soft side of Ludwig: the lugs fit perfectly snug to the wrist.
The first NOMOS automatic caliber and the one with which NOMOS Glashutte launched its in-house caliber production in 2005. Since then, it has been ticking with outstanding winding accuracy-and now with our NOMOS swing system too, which is to say: with independence at its heart.
