What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart Auto

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart Auto is noted for its dressy yet versatile design, featuring striking gradient dials and intricately shaped cutouts that reveal the H-10 movement. It boasts an 80-hour power reserve and Nivachron hairspring. The watch is available in 36mm, 40mm, or 42mm stainless steel cases. On balance, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart Auto is appreciated for its visually engaging dial and movement display at its price point.

From video reviewers

The smoked dial's precision cutouts offer a captivating view of the automatic movement. Legibility is compromised by the open-heart design.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
