    Nomos releases a bracelet

    Looks like Nomos have come out with their first bracelet. Looks quite nice, sort of an alternative to a Milanese strap.

    With the long lugs though I feel it looks a little odd with the gap, though that same gap is present on leather straps too.

    Doesn't seem to be available on its own for now.

    Thoughts?

    Bracelet is fine but that gap is ridiculous.

    EDIT: I should have said absolutely ridiculous.

    Attractive bracelet, but I couldn't live with lug gap or the dial (movement looks too small for the case, and mixing numbers a no-no for me). I like the idea of the simple release springbar knob (assuming that's what it is) but not sure how secure it would be.

    Some watched just don’t suit a bracelet, panerai and Bremont for example. Nomos can join that group.

    Looks like it'd be fairly handy at removing hairs.

    And would fill its pants at the first speck of dirt.

    My thoughts on ALL the Nomos watches. Love the Club & designs on all their watches just not the long lugs & gaps.

    Lug gap too big, never really noticed the distance with leather strap.

    I hate this style of clasp. Lost a watch once just because of effing clasp opened.

    I wonder how many of those bemoaning Nomos lugs have ever had one on their wrist? They’re beautiful and elegant watches, and the lugs contribute well to the overall aesthetic.

    As others have said I like the bracelet not keen on the gap between the lugs. I find the use of numbers and numerals particularly off putting though!

    Whenever I see these kind of fitments , it makes me think they just couldn’t be bother to make a properly fitting one, just what is laying around.
    I’m not keen on Nomos, and this does nothing to change my mind.

    I certainly have and the issue was.......the lugs, far to much spacing between true watch and strap. Pet peeve of mine. Only by fitting a nato can I see sorting the issue.

    The club is the one model where I think they really need to cut them back (Would love an Atlantik Neomatik otherwise). But they’re committed to them. It’s not like they don’t have the opportunity to fix it with all the different variants. Which is a source of concern with me with the brand. Honestly, I think they’ve lost their focus over the past two years.

    Quite unusual but I guess you’d need to see it in the flesh

    To be frank the bracelet looks like a cheap aftermarket eBay job, and as others have said the lug gap is just awful.

    I'll say this for that watch: 8.4mm is very thin for a 20atm WR automatic.

    Looks cheap and that type of class is horrible, especially without the additional fold over safety clasp. Very risky for an expensive watch.

    Horrible bracelet. The lug gap on my Club stood out at first, but not at all now; I don’t even notice it. Definitely a brand that is best served on a strap.

    So is the bracelet £10 or £20? Looks like it’s made out of the tin foil from a kit Kat wrapper.....
