What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Massena LAB Archetype 1.0

Owners find the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1's dial visually appealing with blue and gold accents, but also too cluttered with multiple dial rings. The Sellita SW510 BH M Elaboré movement is considered solid, though not top-tier. The $5,000 price point for a microbrand using a serial movement is questioned by some owners. On balance, owners are split on the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1, with some appreciating its aesthetic and movement while others find the dial too busy and the price point high for a microbrand.

Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton

The Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is noted for its 40mm steel case, sapphire crystal, and 150m water resistance. One owner reports strong performance from the TMI NH70 movement at -3 seconds per day, with very nice lume. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton to be a pretty nice option, particularly for its movement performance and lume.
