The Sternglas Sedius is widely praised for its harmonious blend of Bauhaus minimalism and Art Deco elegance, featuring a well-balanced sector dial and a smooth-sweeping seconds hand from its Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement. Owners and reviewers note its pleasing wearability due to the case shape and slender lugs, and it is considered an affordable option with a good price-performance ratio. One reviewer flags legibility issues on the black dial variant, while the blue-on-white offers crispness. The Sternglas Sedius lacks a date complication and features a double-domed sapphire crystal. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Sedius highly for its classy Art Deco aesthetic and value.

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.
