The short answer
The closest alternative to the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) is the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 38 enamel white ($2,530) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Open Heart at $315 (vs $1,556 for the Model 1 (Group Buy)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Purple Grand Feu Enamel Dial is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW210-1). Stepping up, the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig neomatik champagne ($4,190) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
