Just ask the boys at Nomos Glashütte – they can't seem to stop it. In fact, since its inception in 1990, the German watch manufacturer has won more than 120 awards for innovation in its designs and mechanics. And it's not planning on stopping anytime soon, with the latest – the esteemed German Design Award for its Metro watch – received last month.

Ever the innovator (Nomos is one of the only brands in the world to produce its own escapements), it's easy to see why the brand received such an honor. According to the 15-strong panel of experts, the Metro's design is "youthful and cosmopolitan; elegant and straightforward". And in true German style, not a millimetre's space is wasted anywhere on the watch. It's a perfect blend of modern simplicity, classic German efficiency and timeless design – no wonder it can't stop winning.
