What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold

The NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold is a limited edition of 100 pieces, measuring 40.5mm by 36mm with a slim 8.95mm thickness and wire lugs. It is powered by the in-house, manually-wound DUW 2002 movement, which provides an 84-hour power reserve. The watch is available with a silvery white dial or a two-tone dial featuring silvery white registers on a light blue ground. Owners question its value proposition at $20,500, noting it approaches the price of other high-end timepieces, though some appreciate the gold chatons in the movement. On balance, the NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold is a niche offering with a high price point that leads some to question its value despite its in-house movement and slim profile.
