What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oak & Oscar The Jackson Big Eye

Oak & Oscar The Jackson Big Eye is praised for its balanced design and fine details, featuring a prominent "Big Eye" 30-minute sub-register for improved readability, reminiscent of vintage chronographs. It is powered by the Eterna EMC 3907M manual wind movement with a 60-hour power reserve, column wheel, and flyback function, housed in a 40mm stainless steel case. This limited edition of 50 pieces was priced at $3,150 and included two Horween leather straps and a wallet. On balance, reviewers highlight the Jackson Big Eye's enthusiast-spec chronograph function and readable subdial as key strengths.

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.
