as we now know, the home icon was eventually incorporated into the dial, with careful consideration for its size and exact execution. For Nomos, it was pertinent that it should communicate the idea of home to whoever happens to be checking for the time back at home on the Zurich Weltzeit. At the same time, the icon was kept open enough for interpretation such that it holds the potential to trigger whatever memory of home the wearers' subconscious might conjure up -- be that for someone the thought of their grandma's warm apple pie or for someone else the thought of their grandma's steaming hot dumplings.
The story goes that in 2016, during the retail house's inaugural German watch fest, Kelvin Lim, Deputy General Manager of The Hour Glass, who is in charge of Watches of Switzerland in Singapore, caught a hold of Nomos' CEO Uwe Ahrendt, his product manager (and wife) Heike Arendt and Martina over a glass of champagne and struck up a conversation about doing a special watch, with Singapore in mind, to celebrate their partnership's second anniversary.
The watch decided upon was the Zurich Weltzeit and at that early phase it was naturally ascertained that they should replace the name of the GMT+8 city with that of Singapore's on the city disc.www.perfectreplicashop.com In due course, there was a request from Michael Tay of The Hour Glass that the Nomos team should attempt a version of the limited edition to be made with a salmon colored dial.
It was Thomas who was charged with the task of the special edition's design and finding the correct shade of salmon to be used on the watch. Thomas says that he's always sought to inject a little story to tell, within the limited-edition timepieces he has created thus far. And he wanted to, likewise, do the same for the Singapore edition.
"We thought about many elements -- the flag of Singapore, the color red -- but at Nomos we're always trying to be minimalists and subtle with our executions. Everything we decide upon at the end of the day, must have its own reason and purpose. We don't want to just print things on the dial," says Thomas.
"While I was researching for the watch, I came across this term -- the Little Red Dot -- that seems to be quite widely used to refer to Singapore. I must admit I wasn't familiar with the term until this point.Tudor Replica Watches But the deeper I dug into the story, the more confident I was that I had found the story that needed to be incorporated: A little red dot to symbolize Singapore as home in the Zurich Weltzeit. It was done."
