NODUS LOG
On the inner workings of Nodus
Pillar #3: Intersect
In order for enthusiasts to stay enthusiastic, they need something to look forward to – something more than just the next watch release from their favorite brand. Intersect is meant to be the coolest corner of the industry, where the coolest brands hang out with the coolest enthusiasts.
Pillar #2: Design Lab
Design Lab is a collaborative platform that is a good fit for those who want to create a watch without building an entire company and business around it. In short, our collaborators have the fun part of creating a watch – designing it – while Nodus does the heavy lifting.
Pillar #1: NodeX™ Watch Research
To date, we have collectively created solutions for crown tubes, bezel click mechanisms, crystal shapes, and of course, extension mechanisms. All solutions that we develop are designed with our ethos of "efficient design” in mind.
Master-Master-Plan
This is our master-master-plan, centered around three core pillars: NodeX™ Watch Research, Design Lab, and Intersect™.
Intersect Los Angeles 2024
Intersect builds upon our core philosophy at Nodus, which is that a rising tide raises all ships. Our work on Design Lab, NodeX™, and now Intersect has been the three pillars of the current version of Nodus and it all points towards our vision of what this industry should become: collaborative. This is why we have poured our heart and soul into these ventures.
Intersect Los Angeles 2023
For the first time since starting Nodus, I see our corner of the industry starting to come closer to what I’ve always wanted it to be: collaborative. I am happy and proud to play a small role in pushing us towards a more collaborative future where we can tell our stories on our own terms.
Intersect 2022 - Origins & Future
Intersect is our invitation to brands to put their accomplishments on display - and it is also an invitation to the community to hang out, make friends, and appreciate the work that small watch companies do, in an intimate and meaningful setting.
Design Brief: Retrospect III - A(nother) “Vintage-Inspired” Watch
The Retrospect III is inspired by three lesser-known but highly impactful vintage watches from the likes of Gruen, Rado, and Breitling.
