Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our TimevsVario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

The Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time is an art-focused collaboration with a bold street-art design. Its 46mm UFO-inspired case wears smaller due to its lugless, rounded shape. The watch features a Miyota Caliber 9039 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an integrated silicon strap. Reviewers note the black seconds hand is nearly invisible against the matte black dial, making precise time-telling difficult. Overall, reviewers highlight the Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time for its unique art-focused design and wearable case shape, despite a readability challenge.

Owners widely praise the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound for its detailed, multi-layered dial featuring applied numerals and guilloche patterns, its elegant Art Deco-inspired design, and the enjoyable winding feel of the Miyota 6T33 handwound movement, often visible through an exhibition case back. The 38mm case size is considered a positive by many, and the included leather strap is noted for its comfort and quality. Some owners find the differing fonts on the sub-dials and perimeter less appealing, and the absence of a constant seconds sub-dial is flagged as a drawback. On balance, owners rate the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound highly for its distinctive Art Deco styling and detailed dial at its price point.
