Reviews

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

Lilienthal Berlin Multimatica All Black Leather Black

Owners widely report poor customer service and shipping delays, with some experiencing watches that arrived non-functional and others noting sharp case edges. Conversely, some owners praise the watch's quality and appearance for the price, highlighting its clean, Bauhaus-inspired design and comfortable fit. Some in the community consider it a fashion watch, while others enjoy its daily wearability and modern aesthetic. On balance, owners and reviewers find Lilienthal Berlin watches to be stylish with a clean design, but significant concerns exist regarding customer service and build quality consistency.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-007

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-007 for its vintage aesthetic, with particular admiration for its blue hands that shine in sunlight and its grainy textured dial with satisfying chunky numerals. The 35mm case size is noted as a potential issue for smaller wrists, and one owner found the crown difficult to operate, while another experienced an initial defect. The Super-LumiNova is described as weak, and the $635 price is considered high for the Miyota 82S5 movement and standard specifications, though some feel the premium is justified by Kuoe's distinctive design and microbrand status. On balance, owners cherish the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-007 for its unique design language and discreet dress/office appeal.
