What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Kanton

The Sternglas Kanton is praised for its refined Bauhaus-inspired design, featuring a silver-plated dial and luminous hands and dots for excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable 39mm case size, measuring 10mm thick, and the visible STP 1-11 automatic movement through a sapphire crystal case back. Accuracy figures vary, with one source noting +15 seconds per day, while another suggests improved accuracy over previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Kanton highly for its blend of Bauhaus design and Swiss precision at an affordable price point.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 date

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its thinness, comfortable 38mm size, and simple Bauhaus-inspired design, noting its versatility and the quality of its German in-house manual-wind Alpha movement. However, some owners report significant accuracy issues, with one experiencing a gain of 60 seconds per day, and the hard-edged case is noted to be prone to scratches. The watch is also said to wear larger than its case size. On balance, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its elegant design and slim wearability, despite some concerns about accuracy and case durability.
