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 MB Meteor

The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor features a 42mm Grade 2 titanium case with black DLC finishing and a refined Trip-Tick construction. Reviewers note its slimmer profile and reduced lug-to-lug distance make it more wearable than previous MB models. The watch has a bi-directional Roto-Click inner bezel, a black dial with Felix the Cat imagery and bright yellow accents, and is powered by the automatic calibre BB14-AH with a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highlight the Bremont Altitude MB Meteor's improved wearability and distinctive design elements.

Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

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.
