Retter Watches MistralvsGarrick S7

Retter Watches Mistral is lauded for its elegant, ultra-thin 6.8mm case and refined, retro 38mm profile with soldered lugs, featuring a unique multi-level dial with textural depth and a well-decorated manual-wind ETA 7001 movement. Some reviewers note that the minute hand could be longer to reach the minute track and that legibility may be an issue due to hand similarity. On balance, reviewers praise the Retter Watches Mistral for its sophisticated design and value at its preorder price, highlighting the attractive manual-wind movement.

The Garrick S7 Timepiece is widely praised for its exceptional finishing, extensive customization, and the unique aesthetic of its minimalist dials featuring raised minute tracks and metal badge logos. Owners find the bespoke buying experience and the final product, including hand-made guilloché dials created with rose and straight-line engines, well worth the approximately one-year lead time. The watch is noted for its design language, which draws inspiration from Breguet and is indicative of low-volume, independent watchmaking. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Garrick S7 Timepiece highly for its hand-made guilloché dials and the value of its bespoke customization.
