What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Horage Autark Tourbillon

The Horage Autark Tourbillon is noted for its technical achievement as an accessible Swiss-made micro-rotor tourbillon, featuring an in-house calibre with a ceramic ball bearing design and silicon components. It offers a 72-hour power reserve and 100m water resistance within a lightweight Grade 5 titanium 39.5mm case. Reviewers mention that some cosmetic aspects, like the power reserve indicator and dial color, were still being finalized on prototypes. Overall, reviewers highlight the Horage Autark Tourbillon as an audacious and accessible technical accomplishment for its price point.

Formex Essence ThirtyNine

The Formex Essence ThirtyNine is praised for its impressive build quality and value, featuring a patented case suspension system for comfort and protection. It houses a COSC-certified Sellita SW200-1 movement with a 38-hour power reserve and a tool-free strap quick-release system. A minor inconvenience noted is the specific closing order of the clasp. On balance, reviewers rate the Formex Essence ThirtyNine highly for its comfortable wearability and excellent value at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case suspension system enhances comfort and the COSC-certified movement is a strong feature. The bracelet exhibits noticeable rattle. Reviewers disagreed on the ideal case size, with some preferring the 39mm and others the 41mm.
