What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin

Owners and reviewers widely praise the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin for its exceptional finishing, particularly on the in-house L093.1 manual-wind movement, which features traditional Lange embellishments like a hand-engraved balance cock and Glashütte stripes. Its slim profile, with a 5.9mm case height, is frequently cited as a key strength, contributing to comfortable wearability. Some owners find the watch too formal with its OEM alligator strap, preferring alternatives for everyday use. The L093.1 movement is Lange's thinnest at 2.9mm and fills the case back well. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin highly for its exquisite finishing and slim, comfortable wearability.

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.
