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 Prismic

The Baltic Prismic is widely praised for its refined, retro-chic design, intricate dial textures, and impressive build quality for its price, featuring a complex bi-metal case with crisp finishing and unique natural stone dials. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight its slim profile, with case thickness noted around 9.2mm, and the appeal of its vintage aesthetic inspired by 1960s cocktail watches. The manual-wind ETA/Peseux 7001 movement is a common point of discussion, with some sources noting a 42-hour power reserve, while others mention a 50-hour power reserve. The 30m water resistance is considered delicate by some. Owners are split on the mesh bracelet, with some finding it comfortable and others noting it may flare on smaller wrists due to articulation limits. The price is generally considered accessible, ranging from €990 to €1,310 depending on the bracelet and dial.

From video reviewers

The Baltic Prismic's unique natural stone dials, each using a slice of thousand-year-old stone, are a standout feature. A notable drawback is the price, with several reviewers mentioning it as a potential issue, particularly considering the finishing and uniqueness offered. Reviewers disagree on the watch's ruggedness, with some viewing it as a dress watch and others not mentioning this aspect.
