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.

Zenith G F J

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Zenith G F J for its stunning appearance, specifically highlighting the visually stunning and resurrected Caliber 135 movement with its unique "Brick" guilloché finishing. The lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl dial is described as a masterpiece and a sophisticated eye-catcher, housed within a well-executed 39mm platinum case. The watch features COSC-certified accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day and a 72-hour power reserve. Some owners find the 39mm case size too large for their preference, and the $49,000 retail price is noted as a drawback, alongside its limited production and platinum-only availability. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zenith G F J highly for its exceptional movement and striking dial design at its price point.
