Beda'a Angles Mecaline - London EditionvsLilienthal Berlin Neolux Skeleton – Dark Grey

The Beda'a Angles Mecaline is lauded for its exceptionally slim 6mm profile and attractive mixed-finish 37mm case, complemented by minimalist dials. Owners note the manual-wind ETA 7001 movement and Epsom leather straps. One reviewer flags the buckle as potentially "a bit much." On balance, reviewers rate the Beda'a Angles highly for its elegant, slim design and refined finishing at its price point.

Owners widely praise Lilienthal Berlin for its award-winning minimalist design and value, particularly when purchased at a discount, with one owner noting the Meteorite IV model looks as good as a much more expensive watch. Some owners appreciate the blue and orange sunburst dial and good finishing, while others find the dial and hands machine-stamped without polished edges and the leather quality basic. Owners report sharp case edges causing skin irritation and difficult-to-remove strap pins, with one finding it unwearable due to discomfort, though another enjoyed the clean design and good lume. The brand's minimalist aesthetic is praised, but some models lack lume, and some owners have experienced significant shipping delays and unresponsive customer support, with some describing the company as potentially fraudulent. Overall, owners rate Lilienthal Berlin highly for its Bauhaus-inspired design and perceived value, though concerns about quality and customer service are noted.
