80 Years. 80 Watches. One Legacy.

80 Years. 80 Watches. One Legacy.

At Nomadic, every timepiece is a story -  crafted to celebrate life’s defining moments. A legendary singer-songwriter, often hailed as one of the most distinctive voices in modern music, his milestone deserved to be marked in timeless style. To honour it, we created 80 limited-edition watches, each one a tribute to his enduring legacy.

The design drew from his 2025 album Remembering Now, with numerals on the dial styled in the same font. This subtle detail connected the watch to his artistry while nodding to the timeless traditions of watchmaking. It was also a milestone for us - the first dress watch Nomadic has ever built, created to reflect Van Morrison’s timeless influence with elegance and restraint.

Each piece was carefully customised: a dial layout built around the album-inspired numerals, engraved casebacks marking the limited run of 80, and subtle detailing across the hands and crown. Every choice made the watch unmistakably his, while still carrying Nomadic’s signature character.

Meticulously crafted in small numbers, these watches became more than commemorative pieces. They were wearable tributes - a way to carry forward the legacy of one of music’s most enduring voices.

telling more than time

We're inspired by the people who wear our watches and their stories.

We believe that life is made up of moments.

Those moments, measured by time and swept across the face of our watches, are captured as memories forever.

It's, looking back often... moving forwards always.

Making progress.
