What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Lux Hermelin

The NOMOS Glashütte Lux Hermelin is a time-only watch in a tonneau-shaped white gold case, measuring 40.5mm by 36mm by 8.95mm, featuring a manually-wound DUW 2002 movement with an 84-hour power reserve and gold chatons. Owners question its value proposition and movement finishing compared to established high-end brands, despite its readable power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers find the NOMOS Glashütte Lux Hermelin to be a beautiful debut model, though some question its high price point.

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.
