What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette is praised for its vintage-inspired roulette dial with multi-sector, multi-layer, and asymmetrical design, and faceted dauphine hands. Reviewers highlight the dial's depth created by contrasting textures like circular brushing and glossy or grained sectors, and the 36mm case's vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs. The watch uses a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement. However, reviewers note the micro-rotor movement can feel rattly and loose, producing a jangly sound when tapped. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Roulette's distinctive dial design and vintage aesthetic, despite the noted movement characteristics.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific 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.
