Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M

The Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M is widely praised for its attractive vintage design and timeless appeal, with owners calling it a stunning and underrated dress watch. Some owners find its gold tone less convincing than solid-gold alternatives, and one owner expressed a preference for the watch to lack a seconds hand or have a central one that does not obscure the VI numeral. The quartz movement is noted for its durability against shocks, smooth winding, hacking seconds, and easy syncing. Overall, owners rate the Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M highly for its classic Art Deco design and value.

March LA.B Dandy Mansart

The March LA.B Dandy Mansart is noted for its distinctive, '70s-inspired octagonal design and impressive finishing. Owners appreciate the brand's creative and unique designs, with one finding the "Golden Hour" design incredible. Some reviewers suggest the dial could benefit from a sunburst texture and that the watch lacks a minute track, making precise time setting challenging. The bracelet clasp is described as fiddly. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the March LA.B Dandy Mansart highly for its bold, distinctive styling and solid finishing.
