LWR NEWS Leading Watch Retailers NOMOS TEAMS WITH TIMELESS LUXURY WATCHES Nomos teamed with Timeless Luxury Watches, Plano, Texas, for the initial debut of a special Nomos Club Campus watch sold to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this past October. Nomos and Timeless pledged $200 from each special edition timepiece to the NBCF. The watches come in two sizes: 36 millimeters with a white silver-plated dial and 38.5 millimeters with a midnight blue dial. Both feature a light pink seconds hand (in honor of the color of breast cancer awareness) and a combination of Arabic and Roman numerals. “Have Hope” is inscribed just below six o’clock, which is another subtle allusion to the cause these watches support. The larger model contrasts its pink seconds hand against a midnight blue dial. Green minute markers adorn the outer edge of the dial, and a silver outline frames the hour markers. On the smaller model, the hour markers are framed by a thin line of pink to echo the seconds hand. The solid case back prominently features the National Breast Cancer Foundation logo: a tree branch. This image is inspired by NBCF founder, Janelle Hail, who drew strength from nature during her own treatment for breast cancer. A solid case back was chosen to give space for this symbol, but also to allow custom engraving for those who wish to add a personalized message to their timepiece. Inside both of the new Club Campus models is the in-house built Nomos caliber Alpha hand-wound movement. The price for these watches is identical to that of the regular Club Campus models. $1,500 (36mm version) and $1,650 (38.5mm version). 32 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | FALL 2019
