Marloe Watch Company Glenbeg WhitevsVario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

Owners widely praise the Marloe Watch Company Glenbeg White for its simplicity and the appeal of its distillery collaboration, with one owner calling it their first "real watch." The 41mm case is considered perfect due to a thin bezel that makes it appear larger, and some owners enjoy its look on the steel bracelet. However, availability is limited in the US, and it does not ship to Canada due to import regulations. One owner found the side case etching unappealing, though noted it is unnoticeable when worn. Overall, owners rate the Marloe Watch Company Glenbeg White highly for its simple design and unique collaborative story.

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.
