The word “Empire” itself consciously makes reference to New York’s Empire State Building and the watch design follows suit, drawing upon a retro urban aesthetic." ~Jacob Osborn

It helps to protect your watch from shock and also prevent it from getting scratched when travelling. On top of that, it also offer reasonable crush and water resistance." ~Yeoman

https://www.wahsoshiok.com/vario-empire-watch-review/ "Overall, I love the art deco design of the Vario Empire. I adore the typography, the stunning guilloche texture, the stepped case, the horn lugs, and the pronounced onion crown. Together, the Empire is an extremely compelling package, and a dress watch that conjures to mind the splendor of the Roaring Twenties." ~Wah Qi Le

http://www.thetimebum.com/2019/03/vario-empire.html " Whether by design or not, the bluing of the hands and the circular finish of the hour track provide a sort of gambler’s reward: a wonderful outcome, but not every time you look at the watch. The light must hit it just right for both to be highlighted and brought out in full effect. In the end, this makes for a dial that never gets tired, and even without the right light, remains beautiful. " ~ Mike Razak
