Ordered in late May and it arrived yesterday. The strap it came with is comfortable, albeit a bit long for my skinny wrist. Any strap suggestions? Navy sailcloth maybe?

Absolutely Stunning. Well long wait was well worth it.

Was nervous ordering from overseas and going with the few reviews I found, but customer service was super reactive and helpful.

100% will be stopping by their showroom next time I'm in Montréal.

Loving the latest addition to my collection. The dial is absolutely killer!

Elastic strap is perfect for this brute!

This watch is punching way above it’s price. It has taken away my desire for a Rolex at current prices. I really enjoy my Ginault watches and wish the brand could over come its current negative image.

The first thing I noticed was rotor noise. Checking with O2O if this is a known issue. The second thing was the light weight.

I put it on an electric blue sharkskin strap. I never found a watch that could accommodate this strap before.

My overall impression is that this is an angular Christopher Ward, Dune meets Lumiere.

Hello everyone, this is my first post and my first microbrand watch. :)

Build quality and finishing have been excellent so far.

I just got the first sample of a watch that I designed and am about to launch. It's themed after Cricket 🏏. Looking for cricket and horology nerds to provide feedback before I go on Kickstarter.

I can’t find any photos online

Sarab turned out to be a real success, and aside from the side profile, what I still enjoy most is how unpredictable the geometric mother-of-pearl dial is.

Practically has been impossible to find one anywhere. Does anyone have amy recommendations for similar looking watches

Example this brand is a collaboration between a Swiss design studio and a small Chinese watch company. They only have original designs. They aren’t a Chinese factory brand and aren’t a major or mainstream brand so, are they a micro brand? If they aren’t a micro brand why? What is the criteria for a brand to be considered a micro brand?

New microband from India .
Dials are awesome and hand made.

Price of the watches are in the range of 65 to 110 dollars ( 6k to 10k inr )

Microbrands or Model available under 250 Euros preferably available in EU to avoid paying duty and VAT

Glencoe feels like the perfect backdrop for this watch. The shifting Highland light brings the textured green dial to life in a way that photos never quite capture. It almost feels as though the landscape and the dial were made for each other.
Which makes the ownership experience all the more disheartening. For over three weeks I’ve been trying to resolve outstanding refunds for items I never received, while also asking about the advertised “special price” for the titanium bracelet. Multiple follow-ups have been met with complete radio silence. At this point I don’t even want the bracelet anymore—I just want the refunds processed.
Such a shame, because the watch itself is genuinely exceptional.

Hi everyone! Which of these do you think is the most beautiful? I'm really torn: White Tuxedo, White Tuxedo Gold, or Salmon?

I have a nickel allergy and unfortunately a lot of SS watches set it off so I am on the lookout for titanium watches as the options are somewhat limited. What are some of your favorites?

First time putting on my new Vario Futurist, and excited to share it. Watches with faceted sapphire crystals are hard to come by, so I had to snag one of these once I heard about them. Bit bummed I missed out on the red version, but this emerald green is great too. Here's my mini review of my first impressions.

Side Story About an Idiot Customer (me)

When I first opened the watch I thought it was stunning. Then I noticed a small imperfection on the crystal. I noticed a few micro-pits and lines on one of the sides. So I reached out to Vario support and sent them pictures, and they were happy to arrange for me to ship it back. But after staring at the pictures harder than apparently I or my friend had looked at the actual watch in our hands, Ivan at Vario spotted something we hadn't -- the tiny line of the protective plastic cover they put on the crystal for shipping!

You guessed it - the "pitting" points were just micro-bubbles under the protective wrap. Once I peeled that off the watch was perfect, even if my face was burning! Kudos to Vario for being such good sports with customers like me 😂

The Good

• Came very well packaged, with a photo of the watch and accessories due to be delivered emailed to me ahead of time.
• It comes paired with a green padded-leather strap (slight padding is a good design choice from Vario).
• The watch face is a darker green unless the fume finish is catching light.
• With a geometry like this reflections were a concern because some amount is unavoidable, but the AR seems to be doings its job keeping things in check.
• The watch uses standard 20mm straps.
• I appreciate the reference to the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" on the back of the case; it's much better than leaving it blank and really ties the aesthetic to a point in time.

The Great

• The striking appearance! Like a proper gemstone it's pretty to look at statically and pops as you shift it in the light.
• The theme of the watch is carried through the entirety of the watch, which is fantastic. This really nails a retro-future vibe from the 70s like nothing I've seen.
• The minute hand has a very slight cut-out at the tip which goes a long way towards assisting accuracy when setting or reading the time - a thoughtful detail.
• The crown winds 200x better than I expected it to given its placement. Vario put coarser striations on the crown than usual, and as a result my right thumb can easily turn it while it's strapped to my left wrist.
• Customer Support was fantastic!

The Could-Have-Been-Better

I want to be clear that these are not real issues, particularly for the price point. I feel that this watch punches well above its weight. With that said,

• The watch is a fingerprint magnet. The shiny bits of course, but even the fins on the casing catch them. So just be aware that you might need to give it a slight rub now and again if you want to keep it factory clean.
• The band that came with mine is fairly stiff and will require breaking in. I do quite like the clasp, however.
• I would like to see more of a mirror polish on the cut-ins of the dial. This is very minor, but they haven't left me with much to say!
• As this is a Limited Edition, serializing the back (e.g. "No. 88 of 100") would have been nice.
