What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente neomatik blue gold

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its beauty and exceptionally thin case, with some finding the dial too busy. The in-house DUW 3001 movement is noted as a positive, though some variants lack lume and the clasp on the 39mm model can chafe. One owner found the Gold Neomatik Dore 18ct overpriced for its functionality. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its aesthetic appeal and slim profile at its price 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.
