In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the German Basic Law, NOMOS Glashütte introduces a limited-edition Ludwig watch, epitomizing the union of precision and legal heritage. This unique edition not only celebrates a significant legal milestone but also reflects the profound impact of historical events, like the fall of the Berlin Wall, on German democracy and the company itself.
Marking the 75th anniversary, NOMOS Glashütte releases the Ludwig – 75 Jahre Grundgesetz in six distinct sizes, each limited to 75 pieces. This special edition is distinguished by a paragraph sign at 6 o'clock on the dial, symbolizing the law. For the automatic models, this sign is in gold, and in black for the hand-wound versions. Further enhancing its significance, "75 Jahre Grundgesetz" is subtly inscribed below this sign, and Article 1 of the German Basic Law is engraved on the case back, affirming the inviolability of human dignity.
Reflecting the reliability of the German constitution, the Ludwig watch series stands out for its elegance and precision. The in-house movements are calibrated to chronometer standards. The hand-wound models feature the Alpha caliber, while the automatic versions utilize the caliber DUW 3001. The largest, a Neomatik 41 date model, incorporates DUW 6101 with a patented date mechanism, ensuring both performance and style.
NOMOS Glashütte’s collaboration with Nomos Verlag underscores a shared commitment to legal excellence. Nomos Verlag, a leading legal publisher, echoes the watchmaker’s respect for the law, making this partnership particularly meaningful. Buyers from the publisher's store receive a scientific edition of the German Basic Law, providing a scholarly insight into Germany’s legal foundations, thereby enriching the ownership experience of this commemorative watch.
