Travel tips

When a watch goes on vacation

Always ready for take-off: Watches that cost as much as a house should probably remain tucked away in a safe, but NOMOS watches love to travel.

Brighton, Berlin, or Boston: Your timepiece is happy to go wherever you do. To make sure that it’s smiles all round, here are a few watch care tips from the experts—NOMOS watchmakers.

Enjoy your flight!

Hand luggage doesn't get any lighter than this: Just wear your mechanical watch on the wrist. And if you’re traveling with Zürich Weltzeit or Tangomat GMT—even if it’s into the back of beyond—they’ll let you know what time it is back home.

Magnetized?

Magnetic fields, such as the security gates at airports, could in some cases affect the accuracy of your watch. If you notice that your watch is gaining or losing time after a flight, have it demagnetized by a retailer. This only takes a moment.

Water resistance

Watches from the Aqua series love water and are water resistant to 20 atm, so 200 meters. NOMOS watches with a water resistance of 10 atm shouldn’t go scuba diving but are always happy to be taken for a swim. 3 atm means: splash-proof. You should take these watches off before jumping into the pool.

Diving

Watches from the Aqua series love water and are water resistant to 20 atm, so 200 meters. If “3 atm” is engraved on the back of your NOMOS timepiece, you should take it off before jumping into the pool.

Taking a dip

If your watch is one of those less suited to water, but has nevertheless taken a dip, you should let an expert take a look as soon as you can—simply visit your nearest retailer. There they can make sure that the mechanical movement is dry. If it gets wet, the metal can start to corrode.

First aid

You can find assistance for your NOMOS watch in many places around the world—if you should ever need it. Take a look here: Retailer Locator.

Shocks

Your watch would love to go skydiving or hang-gliding with you. That said, it’s best to avoid falls, hard knocks, and sharp objects—this applies to you and your timepiece.

Winding

Automatic watches take care of this for you—while you stroll along the beach, jump out of a plane, or read your favorite magazine. Hand-wound watches will need a little more attention; preferably a few turns of the crown once a day, first thing in the morning.

Sun

Please don’t leave your watch lying in direct sunlight—as it doesn’t like to get overheated. The rubber sealant that protects the inside of your watch suffers too. Clean your watch occasionally with a soft cloth, and treat it to a small polish to keep it looking its best.

The most important part

Give your watch some time off too, by spending a few days without it on your wrist—or simply stop looking at it. After all, losing track of time can be the best thing about a vacation.

Social Media Plug-ins
We use a variety of social media plug-ins on some of our web pages via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest buttons. However, integration of these plug-ins does not necessarily ensure that your data are being transmitted to the respective provider. Instead, your prior consent for this is required, which you can give before you activate the individual buttons. To do this, click on the desired button.

Facebook
The "Like" button plug-in from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (Facebook) can be used to tell your friends whether you like our Internet offerings, point to content, or share content. This plug-in is identified by the Facebook logo or the suffix "Like". The plug-in can transfer personal data to Facebook if you are logged in to it. However, you must first have activated the "Like" button. Once you do so, your data from visiting our site will be transferred to Facebook just as if you were visiting its own Internet pages, and in some cases even if you are not a registered Facebook user and do not click on the plug-in on our pages. In this case, however, Facebook is not directly able to make a direct personal connection to you, for instance by using the IP address; this would be possible only using information from your Internet service provider. If you are registered with Facebook, Facebook's own privacy protection provisions also apply, which can be found at http://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php. The exact purpose for which the transferred data is used can also be found in these privacy protection provisions.

Twitter
The plug-in from "Twitter," a microblogging service from the American company Twitter, Inc. (795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107), is likewise used by your browser to establish a direct connection with the Twitter servers, from where the button is loaded. This transfers the information to Twitter that you have accessed the given website. Even if you are not logged in, Twitter may be able to collect and store usage data. To do this, you must have activated the Twitter button and clicked on one of our web pages. Once you have done so, you can transfer twittered information to Twitter via the Twitter window that opens. This information is then published in your Twitter user profile. Additional information on data collection, evaluation, and processing of your data by Twitter, and your associated rights can be found in Twitter's privacy statement, available at http://twitter.com/privacy.

Google +
Many of the pages of our website include a Google+ button for the "Google+" social network. This social network is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The Google+ button can be recognized by the symbol “+1″. If you have activated the Google+ button and visit our website and open one of our web pages during your visit that contains a Google+ button, your browser will establish a direct connection with the Google servers and the button will be loaded from there. This will transmit the information to Google Inc. that the corresponding page on our website has been accessed. The content of the “+1″ button is transmitted directly from Google to your browser and integrated into the web page by it. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data will be collected unless the button is clicked. Members of the Google+ social network must be logged in for data, including IP address, to be collected and processed. If you are a Google+ member and do not wish Google to collect data about you concerning our Internet presence, you must log out of Google+ prior to visiting our Internet site. Information concerning what data Google specifically collects for its own purposes and information about the processing and use of your data can be found in Google's privacy statement at http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html.

Pinterest
We also use the plug-in from the Pinterest social network, which is operated by Pinterest Inc., 635 High Street, Palo Alto, CA, 94301, USA ("Pinterest"). The Pinterest button can be identified by the symbol “P″. If you have activated the Pinterest button and access a page on our website that contains their plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection to the Pinterest servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Pinterest to your browser and integrated into the page. This integration tells Pinterest that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our site, even if you do not have a Pinterest profile or are not currently logged into Pinterest. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly by your browser to a Pinterest server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Pinterest, Pinterest can directly assign the visit to our website to your Pinterest profile. If you interact with the plug-in, e.g., by pressing the "Pin it" button, the corresponding information will also be transmitted directly to a Pinterest server and stored there. The information will also be published on Pinterest and shown to your contacts there. The purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and use of data by Pinterest and your associated rights and setting options to protect your personal privacy can be found in the Pinterest privacy protection statement: http://de.about.pinterest.com/privacy.

XING
Lastly, we use the plug-in from the "XING" social network of XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, which can be identified by the "X" button. If you have activated the XING button, you have the option of sharing the content of our Internet pages with your contacts who are associated with your XING account. XING does not store any personal data about you concerning your access to this Internet site. Specifically, XING does not store any IP addresses. Nor is any analysis done of your usage behavior with respect to the use of cookies in connection with the "XING Share button." The current data protection information with respect to the "XING Share button" and additional related information can be found at: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
