Reviews

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

Farer LISSOM

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.

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette features a 36mm case with vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs, and a vintage roulette-styled dial with multi-sector design. Reviewers note the dial textures create a perception of depth, with contrasting brushed and grained surfaces. The Hangzhou 5000A micro-rotor movement is visually appealing but described by reviewers as feeling rattly and producing a jangly sound when tapped. Overall, reviewers highlight the MR Roulette's unique dial design and finishing, despite some reservations about the micro-rotor movement's sound and feel.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific point.
