Yeah, movements are a tricky part about watchmaking. It's just like learning the difference between a straight-6, V6, V8, V12, and all that again. It took me a while, too!

I suppose if the Nomos movement were an engine, it would be a V6. Very adept, simple, workable, and efficient... Not to mention pretty nice to look at, too. Although the design is truly the best thing about Nomos, absolutely clean and simple, but beautiful, as you've put it well.

If I were to get a Nomos, I'd probably get this Tetra instead, since you don't normally see square watches around anymore...
