If you fancy a deco style dressy piece, you really don't have many options. It is just as well this is a good one then eh?! $320USD buys a lot of nice detail on the dial and hands and a very sweet wearing little watch. Perhaps just be aware that the hands do rather vanish on this variant though. Cheers, Jody

This is probably the only microbrand watch of recent times that has really tempted me. I usually hate numerals on a dial but it just works on this. Big fan of art deco and this (especially the white and silver) is spot on. So refreshing to see a different style too.

Fantastic! This gave me real jolt - it is the spitting image of my dad's Ingersoll Triumph. He was a navigator in Bomber Command and this was the go-to watch for air crew in the fifties. I still have his, it continued to work years after he died. I am seriously tempted to get this gorgeous 'Stars in Their Eyes' version - "Tonight Matthew I'm going to be an Ingersoll Triumph!"

I cant believe that men are feeling that sub 40mm diameter watches are too small to wear. I used to have one day to day watch with a 42mm diameter. When I started getting into inexpensive vintage watches, I was picking up time pieces with 34-38mm diameter. When I wear my old watch now it feels like wearing a dinner plate. 36mm is my sweet spot. I would love to see more reviews of watches of that size.

Jodie, I started collecting watches about 2 years ago and I love your channel. Many watches I've purchased are chinese specials on aliexpress. I've also purchased some on ebay, Long Island Watch and Jomashop. My general cost is $50 up to $300, with an average of $150. Now I'm at the point of wanting to unloard a few watches (to make room for just one more watch). I'm struggling to find a forum to sell watches of this value. Could you give some suggestions (or even a video) advising us new collectors how to thin out a watch collection to make room for others? Love the channel. Keep it up!

I’d probably swap out the handset to a set of Grand Seikos to maintain the aesthetic and increase legibility. I don’t think the handset they’ve chosen really speaks to the era all that well.

Thanks for another great review. Beautiful watch, even better in person. The white face looks a bit more cream white on the wrist. The video here makes it look pure white. Also note: the band is high quality but is to scale for its mid size case. I have a 7 1/4" wrist which fits but is close to the limit. A larger wrist would be better fit by a slightly longer band (which I did). Shame too as the one that comes with it looks perfect on it.

Nice watch, only complaint is the price tag, about 100 bucks north of where it should be.

The REAL art deco treasure is the Chrysler building. In the foreground in the image.

Personally I like Chrysler building more but feel there's too much association with automobile.

The naming came after we did a survey with fans and Andrea's suggestion Empire struck a cord with me and I designed the caseback with a representation of the building :)

Nh35 is fine. Wish they used the Miyota 9015. But it's all ok.thry were into straps before watches.

Nh35 cost less than NH38 but I felt no ghost position makes more sense. I had considered 9015 but I'll have to sell it for another $100+ more but I kinda prefer to stay within the $300+ range. I might try 9015 in future. Thanks for the suggestion.

That is tempting. Have you ever seen the KAREBO celebrity? On AliExpress. I think it looks really nice. Especially in Gray. It's also a bit much for a Chinese Special. So I don't dare take the risk without any reviews.

Kind of like it, but the hands look odd as if not the same set. Overall nice.

No I have no more room I only have two wristsAnd I can only wear a watch on one of them at a time without looking weird I have too many already but I like it if aliens were to come and steal all my watches I would get this one for sure FYI I think the color combination is the only color combination if you truly want An art deco look it Immediately takes my mind to that era
