What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.

Sternglas Kanton

The Sternglas Kanton is praised for its refined Bauhaus-inspired design, featuring a silver-plated dial and luminous hands and dots for excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable 39mm case size, measuring 10mm thick, and the visible STP 1-11 automatic movement through a sapphire crystal case back. Accuracy figures vary, with one source noting +15 seconds per day, while another suggests improved accuracy over previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Kanton highly for its blend of Bauhaus design and Swiss precision at an affordable price point.
