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.

NOMOS Glashütte Zürich date

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich date for its immaculate case finishing and the unique depth and texture of its dial, which is difficult to capture in photos. The watch's dual-timezone complication is considered a satisfying feature with sharp clicking, and the in-house movement finishing is noted as exceptional for its price point. Some find the hour markers slightly difficult to read at a glance, and one owner suggests seeking a secondhand deal due to the full retail price. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich date highly for its refined finishing and distinctive dial at its price.
