What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1

Owners widely praise the Lilienthal Berlin L1 for its clean Bauhaus-inspired design, good value especially when on sale, and quality feel, with some noting its scratch-resistant case and crystal. The Sellita SW200 movement and sapphire crystals are also highlighted. However, a significant number of owners report abysmal customer service, long shipping delays, and questionable quality control, including issues with alignment, accuracy, and detached crowns. Some find the recessed crown difficult to use for hand-winding, and one owner noted lume was only on the hands. Overall, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin L1 highly for its aesthetics and value, tempered by consistent complaints about customer service and reliability.

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
