Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Awake Watches Son Mài is praised for its step up in finishing and attention to detail, featuring impressive handcrafted dials with silver leaf gilding and lacquered colors, combined with excellent Super-LumiNova application. Its 39mm recycled steel case is comfortable and works well as a daily watch, though the dial design makes it wear larger. The dial features meticulous lacquer work and a hidden, hand-chiselled silhouette. The La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement offers a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highly regard the Awake Watches Son Mài for its impressive handcrafted dials and comfortable 39mm case.
The Son Mài's lacquer dial is consistently praised for its depth and intricate detail. Sharp lugs are cited as a drawback affecting comfort. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition compared to luxury brands.
Trenyo Tiger and Dragon Unique Piece owners highlight the intricate hand-engraving on the case back, a testament to the creator's seven years of experience as a jeweler and engraver. The background of the engraving is detailed with Luminova BGW9, applied and painted under a microscope in a process likened to enameling. On balance, owners rate the Trenyo Tiger and Dragon Unique Piece highly for its unique artisanal craftsmanship and detailed execution of the hand-engraved dial.
