Farer LissomvsNOMOS Glashütte Lambda 39

Owners widely praise the Farer LISSOM for its beautiful and bold designs, with multiple sources highlighting its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate the vibrant dial colors, intricate detailing like the subsidiary seconds display, and the horizontally brushed case side. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is noted, with one owner reporting a breakage after overwinding but receiving excellent customer service. Some owners find the 38mm size a bit small for their wrist, and the numeral orientation on the dial is a minor point of discussion, with one owner observing blue numerals appearing nearly black in certain light. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer LISSOM highly for its attractive, slim design and value proposition.

The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda 39 is celebrated for its spare clarity, minimalist purity, and Bauhaus dial design with excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers praise its well-integrated power reserve complication, which boasts 84 hours of power reserve, and the gorgeous, in-house hand-wound caliber DUW 1001 featuring Glashütte finishing like a three-quarter plate, hand beveling, and an engraved balance cock. Some find the full gold case and giant power reserve display well worth its price for the fine horology and minimalist elegance, though others note a clash between the oversized power reserve display and dial design, and dislike the lettering on the indicator. The high price point for gold models, $18,000-$20,000, is considered steep by some, representing a significant departure from NOMOS's typical offerings.
