What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/

The Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ is a collaboration watch featuring a hand-painted graffiti-style dial with wet paint drips and spray can pushers, powered by a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement. One owner noted slight marks on the lugs, bezel, and case of a pre-owned example, rating its condition at 88%. On balance, reviewers highlight the artistic and humorous blend of design elements as the watch's primary appeal.
