What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Orient Classic Watch

Owners widely praise the Orient Classic Watch for its excellent fit and finish, polished look suitable for suits, and classy signed crown. The modern 40mm case size and retro styling are appreciated, allowing it to blend well with any outfit without being ostentatious. The crown is not screw-down but operates smoothly. Overall, owners consider the Orient Classic Watch a well-built, ideal suit watch that they would buy again.

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.
