What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE

Owners widely praise the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE for its compact wearability, with a 10mm thickness and 38mm lug-to-lug measurement, and its attractive, art deco-inspired dials featuring vibrant color gradients. Reviewers highlight the reinterpreted case angles, steeper bezel slope, and the visually appealing hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom finishing. Some owners find the 35mm size wears smaller than expected, while others note cushion cases can wear larger than their stated diameter, and there is a split opinion on whether the 35mm size is ideal for all wrists. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW210-1 movement with a 45-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 50 meters, priced around $1165/€1,195/£1,045. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive design and perceived value.

Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

Owners widely praise the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound for its detailed, multi-layered dial featuring applied numerals and guilloche patterns, its elegant Art Deco-inspired design, and the enjoyable winding feel of the Miyota 6T33 handwound movement, often visible through an exhibition case back. The 38mm case size is considered a positive by many, and the included leather strap is noted for its comfort and quality. Some owners find the differing fonts on the sub-dials and perimeter less appealing, and the absence of a constant seconds sub-dial is flagged as a drawback. On balance, owners rate the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound highly for its distinctive Art Deco styling and detailed dial at its price point.
