Nomos Glashutte Creates the Perfect Perfect Square

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.

Union Glashütte’s new chronograph looks like a vintage race car dashboard
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Union Glashütte has released a new limited-edition chronograph tied to the Sachsen Classic, a historic car rally the brand has sponsored for years.

The name of the Glashütte-based watchmaker’s new piece is a mouthful: the Averin Chronograph Limited Edition Sachsen Classic 2026. It might be so long because it marks a bit of a switch-up — past Sachsen Classic editions have all been built on Union Glashütte’s Noramis Chronograph, a round watch. This year the brand switched to the Averin, which is very clearly not round.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.
