What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward The Twelve 660

Christopher Ward The Twelve 660 owners and reviewers highlight its exceptionally thin 6.6mm case, achieved through a two-hand design, manual-wind movement, and 30m water resistance. The bracelet clasp, however, lacks micro-adjustments. Opinions are divided on the manual-wind nature and absence of a seconds hand, with some finding them unnecessary while others value the resulting slimness and winding experience. One user noted the logo as a drawback. Overall, the Christopher Ward The Twelve 660 is considered good value and well-made by the community, with its thinness being a primary draw.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
