This striking mechanical watch is immediately pleasing. Its spontaneity is also matched by how uncomplicated it is: excellent readability, a robust stainless-steel case, here in the slightly larger diameter of 38.5 millimeters, yet only 8.5 millimeters high and water resistant up to 10 atm. Club Campus is powered by the meticulously crafted hand-wound Alpha movement, reliable and highly precise—style and quality from Glashütte. In a pretty, sharp green, the NOMOS Glashütte manufactory is expanding its Club Campus model series for young people. The name of the new model is Club Campus 38 electric green. The new color is not only youthful, but also ultramodern—and can be worn by all people of all genders. As Andy Warhol once said: “Don’t think about making art, just get it done.” And accordingly, the motto for Campus this year is: If something feels right, trust yourself, don’t think twice! Because courage, spontaneity and freedom make life richer, and also because mistakes make you wiser.

Bilingual dial: The combination of Roman and Arabic numerals only becomes apparent at second glance. With Club Campus by NOMOS Glashütte, it stands for tolerance, education and open-mindedness.

The steel case back offers space for a “tattoo”, that’s to say an engraving: parents, grandparents, loved ones and others gifting this watch (for a school or college graduation, for a new start, for life) can send their wishes, wisdoms and warnings, phone numbers or promises for the road ahead. Worn against the skin, these messages are sure to be well received.
