What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer 36MM THREE HAND

The Farer 36MM THREE HAND is praised for its vibrant dials, compact 1960s-inspired design with fluid lines and slim bezel, and a 68-hour power reserve from its La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement. Reviewers note the 39mm stainless steel case features polished finishes and brushed lugs, a screwed-down crown, and 100m water resistance. Some models include Super-LumiNova Arabic numerals and applied markers with syringe hands. One reviewer found the included red strap too thick and stiff, and the minute hashes difficult to read. On balance, reviewers highlight the unique dial colors and textures, along with the accessible price point, as key strengths of the Farer 36MM THREE HAND collection.

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.
