Nomos Glashutte is wise beyond their years. Minimalist dial design, simple case shapes, and in-house movements keep this German brand plugging right along. Its not easy to continuously debut new designs and strike a cord every time. Nomos has done it once again with the Tetra Neomatik. Clearly they recognize what defines them stylistically, which can be hard for an up and coming brand.

A perfect square of stainless steel, 33mm x 33mm, the Tetra Neomatik is sandwiched by two sapphire crystals. Below the first lies the dial with two options. One being galvanized white silver plated with blue, black and red accents. The other is a lacquered deep blue with green, rhodium, and orange accents. Both dials offer a simple and unique appearance with just a slight flair of color. Beneath the dial lies a Nomos Glashutte in-house automatic movement with a 42 hour power reserve. A leather strap attached to the step style lugs both frame and complete this timepiece.

Almost as if this piece fell out of the 1950s automobile dashboard, the Neomatik is built for function and legibility with style. No detail is spared from the different number fonts, to the color shades used to contrast with each offered dial. Framed by a square case that acts as a pedestal to display this artful dial, Nomos has pulled off another minimalist masterpiece. Diversify your collection with this piece for just $3,860.

If you’re looking for the best men’s cologne, try these recent drops

Smell your best with these great fragrances

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. That is why we dress nicely. That is why we groom ourselves expertly. And that is why you need to have a great cologne. You never know who you are going to meet, and you don't want to be caught in anything other than your best. You may be forgiven if your hair is a little long when you are on the trail. You may be forgiven for having a five o'clock shadow on Saturday afternoon. And you may not be punished for wearing jeans and a T-shirt at the movie theater. However, you will always be judged for not smelling good. That is why you need to invest in the best men's colognes.

Having a pleasant fragrance is more than smelling pleasant for those around you. It also attracts people to you and shows that you care about your hygiene. People will respond better and remember you fondly if your smell lingers. It is the most powerful scent tied to memory, so make sure you are remembered in 2024 with these top picks for colognes for men. We didn't go with all the big boys in the men's cologne industry. You will see one name that nearly everyone knows. But, we stuck more with the ones that you all should know. There is no Dior, no Polo, and no Gucci on this list. We didn't go for names. We went for quality fragrances and picks that will keep you remembered long after you leave.
