Nomos Glashütte released the Club Sport neomatik Worldtimer – Edition Handelsblatt, a special version created to mark the 80th anniversary of Handelsblatt, Germany’s leading business newspaper.
The watch adapts the worldtimer’s city ring to the world of international finance, replacing five of its 24 city codes with the abbreviations of the stock exchanges in New York, London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
The five codes, NYSE, LSE, FWB, HKEX and TSE, are rendered in Handelsblatt’s signature warm orange, giving the otherwise restrained dial a clear graphic accent.
Additional orange details are used for the day-and-night indication of the 24-hour home-time display, while a fine line separating the two phases references the visual language of a newspaper layout.
An orange marker above 12 o’clock identifies the selected time zone, with an orange scale around the perimeter helping to read time differences between locations.
The 40 mm stainless-steel case measures 9.9 mm in height and 48 mm from lug to lug, giving the watch a notably slim profile for an automatic worldtimer.
It is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides and a sapphire crystal case back.
A red warning ring on the crown indicates when it has not yet been fully screwed down; once secured, the case provides water resistance to 10 atm.
The galvanized dial features gray Super-LumiNova on the hour numerals and indexes, while the rhodium-plated hour and minute hands incorporate white luminous inserts.
The hands and dial markings glow blue in the dark.
The case back is engraved “Edition Handelsblatt” alongside an individual serial number, marking the limited-edition collaboration.
Powering the watch is the in-house automatic DUW 3202, Nomos Glashütte’s third neomatik worldtime calibre.
Measuring 4.8 mm in height and 31 mm in diameter, the movement integrates the worldtime mechanism into the gear train, allowing the complication to remain relatively compact. It also features a 24-hour second-time display operated by a single hand.
The sapphire case back provides a view of the movement, including a gold globe on the winding rotor.
The watch is fitted with the Club Sport bracelet in stainless steel, equipped with quick-change spring bars for strap changes without tools. The bracelet measures 20 mm between the lugs.
The Nomos Glashütte Club Sport neomatik Worldtimer – Edition Handelsblatt, reference 792.S1, is available through the Nomos online store and Handelsblatt. It is priced at €4,260 / US$5,580. nomos-glashuette.com
