Love the blue from Berlin The dye “Bello Indigo” was discovered in Berlin, Germany in the early 18th century. It is the color blue that was loved by Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, two of the most famous Ukiyo-e artists. It was named “Berlin indigo” after the name of the place where it was discovered, and is abbreviated to “Bello indigo.” This blue pigment, which came from as far away as Europe, encountered the techniques of ukiyo-e and became a beautiful, innovative color that gave breadth and depth to the skies and waves depicted in ukiyo-e.

The color blue expressed in ukiyo-e prints, which had a great influence on later famous European painters, has become a color that represents the spirituality of the Japanese people, with words such as samurai blue becoming established.

manufacturing and assembly have been carried out in Glashütte, while design is carried out at a design studio in Berlin. The design, which strongly reflects the ideals of the German Work Federation and the Bauhaus, has been recognized worldwide and has received more than 150 design awards. Its origins lie in the spirit of the German Work Federation and the Bauhaus, which was established to inherit its ideas. *Currently, in order for a watch to be labeled as “Glashütte,” there is a strict rule that “50% or more of the movement’s price must be produced within Glashütte.” At NOMOS, more than 95% of the price is produced within Glashütte and falls under the above rules, so the brand name is NOMOS GLASHUTTE, guaranteeing the quality of German products.
