Well, the ones with the older hand-wound Alpha caliber still start around £1300. But anything with the Neomatik is now double that at least, and they're competing with Tudor in the £2500-£3000 range.
It's a bit like Oris where you get used to them being in the £1000-1500 range, and then they introduce a new caliber and they want three grand, and there's some cognitive dissonance there to say the least.
Nomos should get credit for their in-house movements tbh. And I think if you really want the Nomos thing, Nomos are almost the only option. The problem I have with them is you look at them IRL, and they look nice, but maybe not like three grand watches. But then again, what even is value in watches anymore.
