What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Spinnaker Dumas GMT

Owners praise the Spinnaker Dumas GMT's satisfying lume, including on the crown, and good finishing, with one owner finding it wears well on a 17cm wrist. The watch features a Seiko NH34A GMT movement and a blue gradient dial. Reviewers note its 44mm diameter and 209g weight on the bracelet make it unsuitable for smaller wrists.

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.
