What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont Altitude Chronograph

Owners note faint marks on the case sides and back, with minor wear and creasing on the strap. Reviewers flag the "DANGER EJECTION SEAT" wordmark on the dial as a divisive design choice that disrupts the MB series' usual stark tone, though they praise the improved smoothness and click precision of the Roto Click rotating bezel. On balance, the Bremont Altitude Chronograph elicits mixed reactions, with design elements like the dial text being a point of contention for reviewers.

A Blog to Watch

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 midnight blue

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its simple Bauhaus design, thin and light wearability, and German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement. Owners note the galvanized white silver-plated dial and tempered blue steel hands contribute to its appeal. The 37.5mm case is reported to wear larger than its dimensions, while some find the 35mm size perfect, others feel it lacks immediate appeal and appears "puny" compared to larger watches, though its details are appreciated up close. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its understated Bauhaus design and comfortable wearability.
