What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Garrick S3 Timepiece

Owners widely praise the Garrick S3 Timepiece for its bespoke experience and spectacular finished product, with one owner finding it beautiful. Reviewers note the hand-frosted brass dial and open-worked dial options, as well as the high level of manual finishing. The manually wound UT-G04 and in-house DB-G07 calibres are regulated to less than 3 seconds per day and offer a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer flags that the central hands lack sufficient contrast for quick time reading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Garrick S3 Timepiece highly for its impressive finishing and bespoke nature.

Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.
