Ferro & Company Time Master 70 Bubble GUM

The Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BUBBLE GUM is praised for its 1970s-inspired design, featuring a unique case shape and dial layout, with reviewers and owners highlighting its comfortable 39mm wearability as a Goldilocks size. The watch is powered by a Miyota 9039 automatic movement and offers 100 meters of water resistance. One owner noted that a scratch-resistant coating offered during Kickstarter was not included in the final release. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BUBBLE GUM highly for its retro design and comfortable 39mm sizing at its US$650 price point.

Hamilton Ventura S Auto

The Hamilton Ventura S Auto is widely recognized as a unique, conversation-starting timepiece with a sci-fi-inspired aesthetic. Owners appreciate its good finishing and the novelty of its design, with some finding it more versatile for everyday wear than initially expected. However, opinions are divided on its styling versatility and legibility, with some finding the dial layout difficult to read quickly. Concerns are also raised about its thickness and price point, with some feeling the build quality does not fully justify the cost. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Hamilton Ventura S Auto to be a polarizing but distinctive watch, with its iconic design being its biggest draw.
