The Ludwig is an elevated and minimal approach to a dress watch executed with quintessential NOMOS design styling. The handsome dial combines Arab and Roman numerals on the dial with a Roman numeral date window. Its blue-tempered hands set against a silver-white dial riff off a classic horological color scheme in a decidedly modern execution. The result is absolute clarity in legibility and supreme wearability that’s perfect for the modern man who appreciates tradition.
