Just as long as its not 25hours brand cause their watches lasts 25 hours. The other brands should last longer.

first of all ..i would like to know whats your definition of a good watch ...cause my own definition of a good watch must have its own value ..

NOMOS use inhouse movement (Alpha) . which alot of watch makers dont use . and for only its 43hrs power reserve ..which is less then 2 days . and also germany is not good at watch making ( horological ) . A. Lange & Sohne, Glashutte Original and Muhle all belongs to the same company as NOMOS .
until recently all Nomos models were hand winding. earlier models were based on the Peseux 7001 movement. this movement was substantially re-worked and changed in house at Nomos using substituted and added components.

Use the watch under sub zero temperature, then see still accurate or not.

It simply makes no sense to get a so-called timepiece, unless you want it as jewellery. Your phone and computer can tell the time more precisely nowadays with auto-updating. If you need even more precise timing, get a stopwatch.

the reason to own a timepiece is for investment purposes and to appreciate its detailed art work , history and movements ...you are saying since the invention of credit cards ...ppl should not carry cash .

I don't know why watches can still sell. Why do people need them still?

Come to think of it, I seldom carry much cash.

Cash used to mean bullion and that's a bulky lot. You'd need cart and escort. Then it became depository receipts from banks, a.k.a. cashier's order or demand draft, then it became cheque by which you write your own amount. Cheque was popularly abused and fell out of fashion. At just the right time, plastic and electronics came in.

Best money clip from Fossils, USA.

hows the design ?

 

[Ramseth]

hows the design ?

Usually a leather base with a clip or double sided leather folder with the clip in between. However, there's an advantage with US Dollar. All dollar bills are of the same size from US$1 to US$100. Easy to use with a money clip. That's why it's popular in US only.

I personally wouldn't give this watch a second look. It is basic with no functions no style and no bullshit factor. Get a chronograph or a vintage watch.
