An unexpected turn of events led me to come into contact with this beauty. I didn't even think about a watch purchase this year. After unsuccessfully looking around Asia for this watch for the entire 2014, I have come to terms with the fact that I have no fate with this one. I was reluctant to purchase this from the online store without being able to have it on my wrist first.
As it is I was on the lookout for a dress watch that would fit under my cuffs in a suit. I was all about to give up on this idea of a dress watch and my GS would have to fit the bill when the occasion arises. However I did find that I was constantly yearning for slim profile, hand wound simple watch.
Then as fate would have it, I found myself in Mainz, Germany and I looked up the Nomos website and found that there was a shop within walking distance from my hotel. And they even had the 384 that I was lusting for. Tried it on...loved it. Paid for it and walked out of the store grinning from ear to ear like a boyscout...all in less than 10mins...
So here you have it...finally the Nomos Orion 384
My first purchase of 2015 and possibly last one for long long time to come...
