What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its heritage reissue design, small and thin case, and good looks for the price, with some noting exceptional build quality, tactile pushers, and a substantial feel. However, the quartz movement's ticking smoothness and the 24-hour subdial, which functions as an AM/PM indicator rather than a totalizer, are points of criticism for some, leading to perceptions of it being overpriced. Owners report mixed experiences with quality control, with some noting alignment issues, crooked indices, and dial rotation when pushers are depressed, while others report no such issues. On balance, owners appreciate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its distinctive vintage styling and wearability, despite some concerns regarding quality control and the functionality of its subdial.
