Owners are glad to have the watch in their collection, believing it serves a solid purpose and noting Anders & Co. did a nice job with it. The 38mm case is noted as wearable.

Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Anders & Co. Timepieces AC1 Chronograph highly for its premium feel and vintage-inspired design at an accessible price.
The Lebois & Co Baton Chronograph 324.478 is widely praised for its excellent value and exceptional case finishing for its price point, with specific call-outs for its stepped bezel and lug design. Owners and reviewers highlight the pleasing proportions of the 39mm case and the vintage charm derived from its domed sapphire crystal and salmon dial with applied gold indices and blued hands. The manual-wind chronograph pushers are described as pleasurable to operate, and the movement is noted for its smooth operation and decoration, including a blued column wheel. Some owners find the 39mm case size slightly small for a chronograph, and one reviewer noted potential legibility issues with the telemeter scale on the dial, though this was slated for pre-production correction. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lebois & Co Baton Chronograph 324.478 highly for its vintage aesthetics and impressive finishing at its price point.
