This Nomos Ludwig belongs to Thomas from Nuremberg in Germany.
Great classic design, and a very thin watch. It’s manual wind, and has the ETA 7001 movement.
Unfortunately, it stopped working, even when fully wound. Time for some servicing….
The watch has a glass back so you can see the movement.
Nomos takes the original ETA 7001 and does a bit of embellishing on it – blued screws, and the nice pattern on the bridges.
I’m afraid I forgot to take photos when taking the movement apart, but at least I have a photo of the plate afterwards. Check out the dirt around the centre wheel jewel!
Plenty of dirt on the case as well.
After thoroughly cleaning everything, I put the movement together again. I’ve put a new mainspring in the barrel.
Lovely finish on the barrel wheel.
Final adjustments on the timegrapher.
A very elegant watch – great timeless design.
How does the is the Ludwig case back secured? Does it screw or snap?
It snaps into position.
Best regards,
Christian
Thanks for the reply. It’s very interesting to see the details of your work. I have a Ludwig coming in the post soon & very much looking forward to its arrival!
Nice watch! Just when I was worrying that you had embraced the dark side (Casio!)…
Not to worry, back on the Omegas today!
What a nice watch. Another job well done. I was browsing through your site, but now I fell compelled to read all your posts. Not a big task, because you have a nice way of writing and the pictures you take are very good. Thanks.
