What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto is praised for its redesigned dial that balances complexity and legibility, forming an "H" logo and highlighting the H-10-S movement. Owners appreciate the 80-hour power reserve and the seamless blend of the bracelet with the lugs. The watch is available in 40mm and 36mm sizes, with prices ranging from A$1,925 to A$2,200, and features 50m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto highly for its distinctive dial design and impressive power reserve at its price point.

From video reviewers

The 80-hour power reserve from the H-10 automatic movement is a notable strength. Water resistance to 5 ATM is considered on the lower side for the price point.

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.
