What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Falcon SIII

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Lorier Falcon SIII for its impressive finishing at its price point, a svelte 36mm case that evokes vintage aesthetics and fits well on smaller wrists, and a clear, domed hesalite crystal. The legible BGW9 lume and high-quality tapering bracelet are also frequently highlighted. Some owners note that the dial's diamond pattern can make minute markers difficult to read in certain light, and one owner found the lume intensity could be more consistent. The Falcon SIII utilizes the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Falcon SIII highly for its vintage-inspired design and excellent finishing for the price.

Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

Owners widely praise the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound for its detailed, multi-layered dial featuring applied numerals and guilloche patterns, its elegant Art Deco-inspired design, and the enjoyable winding feel of the Miyota 6T33 handwound movement, often visible through an exhibition case back. The 38mm case size is considered a positive by many, and the included leather strap is noted for its comfort and quality. Some owners find the differing fonts on the sub-dials and perimeter less appealing, and the absence of a constant seconds sub-dial is flagged as a drawback. On balance, owners rate the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound highly for its distinctive Art Deco styling and detailed dial at its price point.
