What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ferro PISTA

The Ferro PISTA is widely praised for its exciting and thrilling driving experience, with owners highlighting its faultless handling and a powerful engine that makes other cars feel primitive. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate its beautiful and effective design, noting features like the air pass-through on the hood as particularly attractive. Some owners find the Ferro PISTA's performance and aerodynamics desirable, while others note its tighter suspension and hard-shifting experience as a special, raw characteristic. On balance, owners rate the Ferro PISTA highly for its thrilling performance and striking design.

Pagani Design PD-1796

The Pagani Design PD-1796 features an open-heart design, not a tourbillon as initially marketed, and includes a noticeable blue anti-reflective coating. Owners are divided on its aesthetic, with some appreciating its unique dial layout and manual/automatic movement, while others find the design unappealing and criticize the lack of AR coating for legibility issues. On balance, the consensus is that owners find the Pagani Design PD-1796 polarizing due to its misrepresented complication and mixed reception on its dial design and AR coating.
