Kikuchi Nakagawa MurakumovsTuseno Supervintage

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Kikuchi Nakagawa MURAKUMO for its exceptional hand-finishing, especially the black polishing applied to its 36.8mm case and spade hands, creating a mirror-smooth, flawless surface. The dial is noted for balancing classical minimalism with meticulously executed details like recessed small seconds and perfectly rendered Breguet numerals. However, the extreme lead times, ranging from 60-144 months, and the USD 21,000 price are significant hurdles for many, with some finding the design reminiscent of more affordable alternatives. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Kikuchi Nakagawa MURAKUMO highly for its exquisite finishing and elegant, time-only design, despite the considerable wait times and cost.

The Tuseno SUPERVINTAGE is widely praised for its fun, colorful, and funky design, featuring a Cartier Baignoire-inspired oblong case and expressive gradient dials. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight its vintage aesthetic, with specific mentions of a chocolate-brown dial with a creamy center and a sunburst green dial. The manual-winding ETA/Peseux 7001 movement is noted as a well-finished, ultra-thin caliber suitable for dress watches. Its compact, thin, lug-free case design, measuring 34.5mm and 8.7mm thick, provides superb comfort and wearability, though one reviewer found the fully polished case to be a fingerprint magnet and legibility suffered on the Mojito dial. Some owners appreciate the sandwich dial and full lume, with one wishing the date window was also lumed. Overall, owners rate the Tuseno SUPERVINTAGE highly for its unique design and excellent value at the price.
