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 Lux white gold

The NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold is a limited edition of 100 pieces, measuring 40.5mm by 36mm with a slim 8.95mm thickness and wire lugs. It is powered by the in-house, manually-wound DUW 2002 movement, which provides an 84-hour power reserve. The watch is available with a silvery white dial or a two-tone dial featuring silvery white registers on a light blue ground. Owners question its value proposition at $20,500, noting it approaches the price of other high-end timepieces, though some appreciate the gold chatons in the movement. On balance, the NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold is a niche offering with a high price point that leads some to question its value despite its in-house movement and slim profile.

Makydo Contour

Owners widely praise the Makydo Contour Carrara for its asymmetrical case shape and elegant, classy design, deeming it suitable for dressier and formal occasions. Some owners find the included leather strap more fitting for such events. Several commenters, however, question its value, stating it is too expensive at €587.39. On balance, owners appreciate the Makydo Contour's distinctive design, though a segment of the community finds the price point prohibitive.

From video reviewers

The Makydo Contour is praised for its comfortable fit due to its slim case and compact lug-to-lug. The Miyota 9015/9039 automatic movement is considered reliable for the price point. The 30-meter water resistance is a noted limitation.
