What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company Concourse Champagne

The Cincinnati Watch Company Concourse Champagne is widely praised for its Art Deco dial, described as "pure art deco with chevron-type design" and evoking a "Mad Men-style vibe," alongside its impressive build quality and craftsmanship for the price. Owners and reviewers highlight the smooth winding action of the Sellita SW300-1a movement, which is noted as being tuned to COSC specifications. However, the 38mm case size and the transition from case to bracelet are considered potentially divisive design choices by some. The dial itself elicits strong reactions, with one owner calling it "amazing" and "unique," while another found it visually unappealing. The watch measures 38mm wide, 44mm lug to lug, and 10.5mm thick, with a non-screw down crown and 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Concourse Champagne highly for its distinctive Art Deco aesthetic and excellent value.

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.
