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 Twelve X (Ti)

The Christopher Ward Twelve X (Ti) is praised for its exceptionally finished, lightweight titanium case and COSC-certified, skeletonized SH21 movement offering a 120-hour power reserve. Reviewers note its comfortable wearability due to the rounded case shape, despite a 12.3mm thickness, and highlight the micro-adjust clasp. Legibility is considered good for a skeletonized watch, though reduced compared to standard dials. One reviewer points out that the case chamfers may be prone to dings and the movement finishing does not reach higher-end standards. Overall, reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X (Ti) highly for its impressive case finishing and the value of its COSC-certified, in-house skeletonized movement.

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.
