Nomos Ahoi Neomatik Siren White – $1,500
Two watches in, and I’ve to share another story: Nomos is the rationale I began being attentive to watches. Someday round 2016 or 2017, I got here throughout the Nomos Metro Date Energy Reserve and it was love at first sight. It was the primary time a watch has made me assume, “wow, that’s such a fantastic and enjoyable watch.”
At the moment, I had been a smartwatch person — I had the very unique Pebble Watch since 2013 and didn’t just like the path of the place smartwatches had been headed. I subsequently got here throughout the Skagen Hybrid Smartwatch that shared quite a lot of the Nomos Metro motifs, and purchased a type of as an alternative for $80 on eBay.
Quick ahead to this 12 months, after a few years into watch amassing (and having the means to justify that), I made a decision it was solely proper to spherical out the gathering with a Nomos. Once more, small wrists, white dial — fortunately Nomos has loads of choices to select from. I finally gravitated in direction of the Ahoi Neomatik Siren White, which is blatantly marketed in direction of me with a 36mm case diameter and a really, very, brilliantly white dial adorned with pink indices and tempered blue fingers.
As soon as once more, persistence pays off, and I used to be capable of snipe a list at an extremely affordable $1,500.
Relying on timing, my assortment will exceed $5,000 as a result of these watches are all independently sought-after for numerous causes. All I’m saying is to be affected person, work with the vendor, and don’t lose sleep over micro-scratches. I put on all of my watches, and don’t thoughts that it was pre-loved by another person.
I’m extremely keen on my assortment. I don’t work in a subject the place I’m requested to decorate in formal put on, and my wardrobe is considerably androgynous. I feel my assortment represents me, my style, my wardrobe, and my wrist measurement properly, and I hope it conjures up others to think about a coherent story to inform as they work in direction of a watch assortment that’s uniquely theirs.
