Reviews

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

Farer Three Hand Series III

Owners widely report the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III features attractive textured dials, a La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 100m water resistance with a screw-down crown. Some owners find the designs too generic compared to previous releases, though salmon and red dials are noted as appealing. One reviewer found the minute hashes difficult to read in certain lights. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III well for its textured dials and robust movement at the price.

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 elegant design, comfortable wearability, and scratch-resistant hardened case. Some owners appreciate the 38mm size and its excellent fit on average wrists. However, significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a notable drawback. A few reviewers mention minor quirks of its handmade nature, such as dial taper or dial feet visibility in certain lighting, and one owner found the strap buckle uncomfortable. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its stunning, handmade enamel dial and excellent value for its artisanal craftsmanship.

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.
