What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Linde Werdelin 3 Timer

The Linde Werdelin 3 Timer is widely appreciated for its versatile GMT function, allowing for tracking three time zones, and its unique Biformeter case design with attractive finishing. Reviewers highlight the dial's concentric circle pattern and the ease of adjusting the GMT hand in one-hour increments via the bi-directional bezel, noting the ETA 2893-A2 movement's smooth winding. Owners and reviewers acknowledge the watch's aggressive design and utility, including 300m water resistance and easy strap changes, though some find the 44mm case chunky. The price, ranging from $5,700-$6,300, is considered high by some, particularly given the non-COSC certified ETA movement, and concerns about resale value and dated aesthetics are raised by one owner.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 for its exquisite vitreous enamel dial, noting its depth, unique light play, and custom typography. The watch is also commended for its comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.

From video reviewers

Thoughtful finishing and beautiful color options are notable strengths of the anOrdain Model 1. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not suit everyone's wrist size, and the relatively low 5ATM water-resistance may limit its suitability for swimming or diving. Reviewers disagree on the movement used in the watch, with some mentioning the Sellita SW210 or La Joux Perret G101, while others mention the Sellita SW200.
