**Nomos Tangente** is a wristwatch by [[Nomos]] with [[manual winding]].

==== Company start with an immediate success model ====
The company [[Nomos]] owes its good start and its fast growing reputation their first model called **Tangente**, which is a true classic of the modern watch. Its appearance is shaped in a decisive way by the designer Susanne Günther. In its basic concept of a clear, factual, easy to read and functional watch flowed impulses both from the Bauhaus and also from the Deutscher Werkbund - the latter was located not far from [[Glashütte]], in Hellerau, a town near Dresden. The design, which is most consistent in every detail, has been crowned with numerous design awards.

==== With Peseux calibre (till 2005) ====
In its first series the watch is driven by a proven [[manual winding]] movement, the calibre [[Peseux 7001|7001]] by [[Peseux]]. The [[ebauche movement]] delivered from Switzerland is revised considerably at the Glashütte workshop of Nomos and so much refined that, with the Glashütte [[solar grinding]] called [[Langeleist-Perlage]], it unfolds its whole beauty - also the anchor [[cock]] and the [[crown wheel]] are provided with [[perlage]]. In another series, the surfaces of the movements are gilded. In addition, [[blued]] screws, which provide a further upgrading of the appearance. The movement refined in such way is called [[Nomos 1 T]].

==== Tangente with manufacture movement (since 2005) ====
Meanwhile the watch is equipped with the [[manual winding]] movement [[Nomos Alpha]], a [[Nomos]]-own [[manufacture]] movement with hours and minutes indication and [[small second]]s at the "6 ".
