NOMOS Glashütte Tangente neomatik blue goldvsVario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its beauty and exceptionally thin case, with some finding the dial too busy. The in-house DUW 3001 movement is noted as a positive, though some variants lack lume and the clasp on the 39mm model can chafe. One owner found the Gold Neomatik Dore 18ct overpriced for its functionality. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its aesthetic appeal and slim profile at its price point.

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.
