Reviews

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

Beaufort Bicompax

Owners widely praise the Beaufort Bicompax for its attractive bicompax chronograph design, clean aesthetic, and excellent legibility with effective lume. The Sellita SW510 BH b movement is noted for performing well, with winding and setting actions comparable to ETA movements and accuracy within COSC parameters at +5 seconds/day. Fit and finish are considered spot on, with a well-executed gradient dial and subdials, and the h-link bracelet is described as comfortable and easy to size. Some owners find the price a bit high for the specifications on paper, and one commenter felt the blue dial could have more depth. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Beaufort Bicompax highly for its vintage aesthetic and reliable manual-wind chronograph movement at 40.5mm.

Manufaktur Waldhoff Multimatic Skeleton

Owners widely praise Manufaktur Waldhoff watches for their quality, with one owner stating their Multimatic is top-notch and comparable to Swiss-made watches. The watch's dial is described as having a "pinball effect on the eyes," and some owners feel the Multimatic is of better quality than other models. One owner notes the lack of a German website for the manufacture and expresses concern about Chinese manufacturing at its price point, suggesting the price may be high compared to watches with similar movements found elsewhere. Overall, owners rate the Manufaktur Waldhoff Multimatic Skeleton highly for its perceived quality and striking dial design, despite some concerns about its price and manufacturing origin.
