Nomos Glashutte Creates the Perfect Perfect Square

By Ian Schwam Published April 13, 2016

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.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring

Get creative with your polos with Wax London

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

Now is the perfect time to layer with UNTUCKit spring pieces

The spring collection for UNTUCKit is stocked with seasonal pieces

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
