What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue is praised for its haute horology aesthetics, gorgeous movement, and striking handset, with one owner finding its 13,800 € price well worth it for the full gold case, large power reserve display, and hand-engraved movement. However, reviewers note its high-gloss enamel dial can be reflective, and some owners find its 42mm size wears large due to the thin bezel and dial proportion, while its price is considered steep by some. Opinions are split on the large power reserve display, with some finding it "weird" and others appreciating its "steampunk vibes." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue for its impressive movement and unique aesthetic, though its size and price are points of consideration.

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.
