What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Horage Tourbillon 2

Owners and reviewers highlight the Horage Tourbillon 2's COSC-certified K-TOU movement, featuring a 120-hour power reserve and silicon components, with the tourbillon itself celebrated as a display of engineering as art. The watch is available in various materials and dial options, including Grand Feu enamel and a unique blue pattern. Pre-order prices begin at CHF 8,990 for steel and CHF 20,470 for white gold. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Horage Tourbillon 2 highly for its impressive movement engineering and artistic presentation of the tourbillon at its price point.
