Nomos-Uhr-Gesellschaft Guido Müller & Co Glashütte i/S, under this name, began the biggest advertising campaign against the Glashütte industry at the time. The 92-page catalogue came out around 1909 and caused a court case initiated by A. Lange & Söhne which led to legal proceedings against Nomos, which were settled in 1910. Later Nomos was also forced to refrain from selling its products from Dresden because the company did not abide by the rules of competition stipulated by the court of law. Nomos was selling very good Swiss basic movements matching Omega quality. Its cases were also comparable to Glashütte standards.
