Even if you don't see it right away: The design of the NOMOS model Club has been completely revised

In May 2007, we launched Club ref. 701 as an affordable entry point into the world of mechanical timekeeping. It was well received across the board, this watch had no competition. Then in 2017, we launched the colorful Club Campus series, which has been very popular. New models are added to the series every year. And the original Club was taken out of the NOMOS watch range. However, many customers have missed it—that's why we have decided to re-release this watch.

But not as it was, rather with the insights gained from our Club Campus series—and also Club Sport models. It would not have been necessary, as Club was already a classic. But we wanted to bring what we have learned from newer versions of Club to the original model as well. So for the very first time, we have revised the design of one of our watches. And even if you don't see it right away, the dial has been completely redesigned with watchmaking meticulousness. These changes include:

• Typography. Numerals are larger, more vivid, and have a clear outline. The hour numerals and indexes are lined with Superluminova. This makes it easier to read, more functional, and luminescent.

• Sub-seconds dial. It has been enlarged, and now also features numerals—which gives it a sportier aesthetic.

• Dial overture. The minute track has been placed further out, making the dial appear more open. This effect is enhanced with shortened minute indexes and minute numerals. The "Made in Germany" inscription at six o’clock was also refined in this process.

• Dial color. It is now lighter and brighter; white silver-plated to be precise.

Countless intermediate steps were necessary to coordinate all the individual changes. As a result, everything is new and improved—but it is still the same watch. And we are sure that customers will continue to appreciate the model Club in this optimized design for the next 15 years as well.

As Anne of Green Gables said, I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." Autumn is here, and we are excited for sweater weather and fall trunk show season. We are now open from 10am to 5pm, Tuesday - Saturday. Feel free to stop by, make an appointment to see us in person, shop online, or text us at our main number (206.623.2528).

Our Single Stone Trunk Show is on October 20-21. Designer Corina Madilian will be here on Saturday, October 21st. Don't miss the chance to meet her and see the entire collection of gorgeous classic jewelry featuring antique and vintage diamonds. This is also a great time to do a custom design or reset your diamond with Corina!

vOctober has two beautiful birthstones, opal and tourmaline. Opals are often associated with creativity and inspiration. The play of colors within the stone can resemble a vivid imagination and spark new ideas. They are believed to enhance one's creativity and encourage artistic expression. We have some lovely opal and tourmaline lockets from Arman Sarkisyan!

Tourmaline, the second October birthstone, is one of our favorite gemstones. Egyptian legend says that tourmaline received its colors as it passed through a rainbow on its way up from Earth’s core. This rainbow tourmaline bracelet from Alex Sepkus really shows off the incredible range of colors of this amazing gemstone.

Nomos Glashutte continues to wow us with their new releases. The brand new Ahoi Neomatik 38 Date comes in two beautiful colors, Sand and Sky. This model is the perfect combination of elegant and sporty, and one of each color will be arriving soon! If you are thinking of buying a Nomos Glashutte timepiece, we have a great selection right now.

We have some very exciting news for our longtime clients - Mariko is back at Fox's as a guest star sales associate! She retired in 2017 after working at Fox's for 29 years. She will be here on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays through the holidays, and is looking forward to seeing all of you again (and buying herself some new jewelry).

With dials in deep, warm colors, NOMOS Glashütte continues to expand its popular sports watch range—while also filling a size gap.

GLASHÜTTE, SEPTEMBER 27, 2023. NOMOS Glashütte is now delighting its customers with three new watches, all in the radiant colors of late summer: Club Sport neomatik 39 in tabac (brown), ember (bronze), and smoke (gray-brown) will be on the wrists of trend-conscious watch lovers before the leaves fall.
And will remain there. Because these colors convey stability, structure, and sensuality. The special polishing on the dials makes the watches shine wonderfully. With a comfortable link bracelet (integrated with the case and with a safety folding clasp) and an extra-sturdy case, all three watch models are stormproof and water resistant to 200 meters.

With these new automatic models, the watchmaking company NOMOS Glashütte is further expanding its sports watch range and, at the same time, filling a gap: After Club Sport was already very successfully launched in 37- and 42-millimeter diameters, the portfolio was still missing the classic size of 39 millimeters. "That’s history! Now we also offer this particularly attractive diameter," says a delighted Uwe Ahrendt, NOMOS Glashütte CEO. The brand's product designers add, "For us, these watches are wearable for everyone, but what we had in mind here was primarily active and successful men who want a watch that fits 24/7."

The sporty, luxurious timepieces are equipped with DUW 3001, the automatic movement with which NOMOS Glashütte has been causing a sensation for several years. This in-house built neomatik caliber is extremely thin and powerful; a next-generation mechanical movement.
 

This watch does its job with ease. And it suits every occasion. Our highly water-resistant watch Ahoi is now available with a diameter of just 38.5 millimeters and—for the first time—with the innovative and super-slim neomatik caliber DUW 6101. This in-house automatic movement features our patented date mechanism. Even with a sapphire crystal case back, the case measures just 9.9 millimeters in height. The result is a most elegant interpretation of a sports watch. Every glance at the dial brings the sense of limitless freedom—as refreshing as a brisk sea breeze.

 A sports watch with sophistication. Automatic and water resistant, you can jump into the pool with it on your wrist and check the time under water. A watch that fits every wrist and always suits individuality. Ahoi neomatik 38 date stands for complete freedom, all the time. This highly precise timepiece features a proprietary escapement, the NOMOS swing system, and a patented NOMOS date mechanism in refreshing sky blue or sand. Ahoi neomatik 38 date is a mechanical watch for connoisseurs, free spirits with high aspirations, and adventurous people with style.

Happy September! We have a fantastic fall trunk show schedule coming your way, with Erica Molinari, Single Stone, and Alex Sepkus just added to the calendar. We are here Tuesday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm, and Friday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm. You can stop by, make an appointment, shop online, or text us at 206.623.2528. 

Save the date! Erica Molinari will be here for a personal appearance and trunk show, September 8-9. Don't miss the chance to meet her and see her entire collection of double-sided charms in silver, silver with 18k gold trim, and her brand new series of solid14k gold charms. Her one-of-a-kind hand-painted enamel charms will be here too! 

September babies are lucky indeed to have sapphire as their birthstone! Most people think of classic royal blue when it comes to this gemstone, but sapphires come in every color of the rainbow (except red, which is classified as ruby). Sapphires symbolize loyalty, nobility, sincerity and integrity. Bayco Jewels sets the standard for sapphire perfection.

Our Nomos Glashutte case is full of great pieces right now. We are fully stocked with the Club in all the fun colors, the Tangente in every case size, and even a couple of Metro models, which have been very hard to get our hands on. These watches go quickly and are all backordered 6-10 months.It's not too soon to shop for the holidays!

New Alex Sepkus is here! The rest of the order from our Las Vegas buying trip just arrived, and we are in love with these brand new heart pendants. There are also heart earrings, a new vario clasp, and two new big color rings in lavender jade and blue zircon. Nobody does it like Alex Sepkus!

Happy August! We hope you are having a wonderful summer so far. We are here Tuesday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm, and Friday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm with lots of beautiful new jewelry from Ray Griffiths, Single Stone, Sethi Couture and more. You can stop by, make an appointment, shop online, or text us at 206.623.2528.

August babies have three birthstones to choose from: peridot, sardonyx, and spinel. Spinel is an incredibly beautiful gemstone which has spent most of its history being confused for ruby. Some of the most famous rubies in the world, including the Black Prince's Ruby in the crown jewels of England (shown here on Queen Victoria at her coronation), have actually turned out to be spinels.

We are thrilled to finally have the new Nomos Club Sport Neomatik in Polar back in stock - this watch dropped back in December and was sold the same day. We've been waiting for another one ever since. If there is a particular Nomos you are looking for, let us know! We also keep a waitlist for backordered models.

Save the date! Erica Molinari will be here next month for a personal appearance and trunk show, September 8-9. Don't miss the chance to meet her and see her entire collection. Erica loves to learn new jewelry techniques and always has something special up her sleeve, like her one-of-a-kind hand-painted enamel charms!

Happy July! Summer is a great time to be in Seattle. The sun is out, Pike Place Market is bursting with flowers, and we are here Tuesday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm, Friday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm with all new jewels from our trip to Vegas! You can make an appointment to see us in person (or just stop by), shop online, or text us at 206.623.2528. 

July babies have one of our favorite birthstones - the incredibly juicy ruby! Rubies symbolize love, energy, passion, and a zest for life. Rubies are also the traditional gift for a 40th wedding anniversary. This suite of rubies from Bayco Jewels features a rare pigeon blood Burmese ruby ring, Burmese ruby bracelet, and stunning Madagascar ruby earrings.

Nomos watches have been flying out of the case. With their in-house movements, Bauhaus-inspired design, and excellent price point, we can see why! For summer, we love the Ahoi Atlantic. The sporty textile strap and 200m water resistance make this model the perfect watch to wear out on a summer day boating in Lake Washington (or daydream about it while at work).

We have an all-new selection of antique diamond rings from Single Stone! Most of these rings feature diamonds that were cut by hand in the late 1800's and early 1900's. They are perfect for engagements, anniversaries, or just because. Single Stone also loves to reset and refashion jewelry that may not match your current style. If your diamond is need of an update, come see us!

We just returned from our annual jewelry buying trip to Las Vegas! All four of us, plus Joy and Chai went this year and had a great time. We now have beautiful new pieces arriving every day! We are open Tuesday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm, Friday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Make an appointment or just stop by! You can also text us at 206.623.2528. 

June is Pride Month! We are celebrating by donating a portion of every Sethi Couture rainbow sapphire band to the Trevor Project. The mission of the Trevor Project is to end suicide among LGBTQ youth. Sethi Couture's playful bands feature pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple sapphires set in 18k rose gold or 18k yellow gold.

All of the one-of-a-kind Alex Sepkus pieces from our Vegas order just arrived! We always schedule Sepkus for our first appointment of the show for the best selection. This year we went color crazy with tourmalines in every color of the rainbow, rubellite, turquoise, opals, citrines, druzy quartz, and Mahenge garnet. These pieces are not online yet, call or text for more details!

Are you celebrating a dad or grad this month? Watches by Nomos Glashutte are a great gift for dads and grads! Every year, the Club Campus is introduced in new colors just in time for graduation season. This year's electric green color so perfect for summer! We just received a 36mm with exhibition back today. This size is perfect on any wrist.

June is pearl month! We love these natural baroque pearl earrings from Ray Griffiths. Pearls are a timeless classic, perfect for celebrating a graduation, wedding, or professional accomplishment. They are also the traditional birthstone for June! Pearls have been treasured since ancient times, and never go out of style. As Jackie Kennedy once said, "Pearls are always appropriate.'"

Lucky June babies actually have three birthstones: pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone. Alexandrite is an extremely rare variety of chrysoberyl that changes color in different lighting conditions. Moonstone is a mystical gem that glows like its namesake. We love the moonstone gem tab by Lauren Newton. It pairs perfectly with our other charms!

Happy April! This month is all about diamonds. If you are an April baby, it's a great time to treat yourself! We love the price and versatility of Rene Escobar bracelets. We are open Tuesday - Thursday from 10am - 4pm, Friday and Saturday until 5pm for appointments and walk-ins. You can also text us at our main number (206.623.2528). 

New releases from Nomos Glashutte are coming! The Club Campus is on the way in two new colors for spring: Electric Green and Cream Coral. Call, text, or email to be called when these beauties arrive in store. We've also restocked February's new release, the Tangente Blue Gold Neomatik in 36mm and 39mm. 

New Alex Sepkus is on the way too! We love his whimsical, wonderful jewelry and could not resist this cute little bug pendant for spring. We also just received some gorgeous one-of-a-kind gemstone necklaces in green tourmaline, emerald, grey Tahitian pearls, and multicolored beryl beads. Many of them can be mix and match if you have a vario clasp!

April's birthstone is diamond, the best-known and most sought-after of all gemstones. Diamonds were first discovered in India and have been traded since the 4th century BC. Diamond lore over the centuries has said that these gems are an antidote to poison, ward off the evil eye, and protect against the plague (it's worth a try). Rustic diamonds from Todd Reed are a unique take on a classic.

One of our favorite cases in the store is our selection of antique and vintage diamonds from Single Stone. These diamonds were cut by hand in the late 1800's and early 1900's and passed down through generations. Single Stone specializes in creating timeless new jewelry with these rare beauties. They are also the most sustainable diamond option!

We love Sethi Couture because not only do they have white diamonds, they have yellow, champagne, pink, green, orange, and black diamonds too! Sethi specializes in stacking rings and other everyday jewelry like bracelets, earrings, and pendants. Save the date for our annual Mother's Day Sethi Couture Trunk Show, May 12-13. Designer Pratima Sethi will be here in person!

Happy February! This month we get to indulge our love for all things pink and heart-shaped, like these romantic tourmaline rings from Arman Sarkisyan. We are open Tuesday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm and Friday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm for your Valentine gift giving. Stop by anytime or make an appointment. You can also text us at our main number (206.623.2528).

February's birthstone is regal purple amethyst. Amethyst is believed to relieve stress, soothe irritability, balance mood swings, and dispel fear, anxiety, and negativity. This amethyst and diamond cobblestone heart from Single Stone would be the perfect gift for your February baby. Emerald, opal, turquoise, ruby, and sapphire are available as well!

Instead of a box of chocolates, how about a Candy ring from Alex Sepkus? Every color mix is hand-selected with multicolored sapphires and diamonds. We've been carrying this incredible designer for 30 years now, and we love the glow of his intricately hammered 18k gold. All of the detail work on these heirloom-quality pieces is done by hand under a microscope!

Give her the moon and stars with celestial jewelry from Single Stone and John Apel. Jewelry with celestial motifs evokes a sense of joy and magic, and is associated with luck, love, and protection. Throughout the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian periods, a moon and star together were a sweet statement of love, and where we can derive the phrase, “love you to the moon and back."

February is tulip season at Pike Place Market, and our giant tulip windows are back! Nothing goes better with a bunch of flowers than our favorite Alex Sepkus heart pendant. We love how subtle the heart shape is, which makes this necklace a great choice even if you don't think of yourself as a heart jewelry person. 

This month marks the 15-year anniversaries of Keiko and Justine! They started a week apart in 2008. Keiko is our inventory manager, and keeps the store running with her impeccable organizational skills. She loves to garden and keep bees in her spare time. Justine is our buyer, and also runs our social media. When she's not thinking about jewelry, she loves to read and quilt.
