What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Brew 8-Bit V2

The Brew 8-Bit V2 is praised for its casually elegant, versatile rectangular design that subtly balances 8-bit gaming and coffee themes, with solid build quality and finishing. Owners note the left subdial tracks 60 minutes and the right indicates day/night, with the chronograph's second hand only moving when activated. Criticisms include the lack of a seconds subdial, no lume, minor movement quirks like the chronograph minute hand jumping upon reset, and a slightly off-center yellow part on the hour hand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Brew 8-Bit V2 highly for its unique design and solid build quality at its price point.

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, sublime design, and exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. Reviewers note the deep, glossy black porcelain dial with pad-printed gold numerals and hand-painted lume, though dimples from the traditional production process are visible in certain lighting. The watch features a 39.5mm brushed steel case, a sapphire caseback revealing the La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its unique dial material and detailed case finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain's handmade enamel dial is a notable strength, praised by multiple reviewers for its unique, subtle color shift. A potential drawback is the relatively modest water resistance of 50 meters, which may be a trade-off for the watch's focus on aesthetics. Reviewers disagree on the lug-to-lug fit, with some finding it comfortable and others noting it's somewhat large.
