Owners widely praise the Autran & Viala PLANOBAUHAUS for its high-end look and feel at its price point, with specific mentions of the stepped dial, slim lugs, and comfortable 7mm thin case. The Swiss quartz movement is recommended for reliability and aligns with the Bauhaus aesthetic, and the sapphire crystal and Ickler case are also noted. However, one owner flags a crooked black dial alignment and describes the mesh bracelet as looking cheap. Overall, owners rate the Autran & Viala PLANOBAUHAUS highly for its Bauhaus aesthetic and comfortable, slim case at an accessible price.
The Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M is widely praised for its attractive vintage design and timeless appeal, with owners calling it a stunning and underrated dress watch. Some owners find its gold tone less convincing than solid-gold alternatives, and one owner expressed a preference for the watch to lack a seconds hand or have a central one that does not obscure the VI numeral. The quartz movement is noted for its durability against shocks, smooth winding, hacking seconds, and easy syncing. Overall, owners rate the Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M highly for its classic Art Deco design and value.
