Reviews

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

Awake Watches Son Mài

The Awake Watches Son Mài is praised for its step up in finishing and attention to detail, featuring impressive handcrafted dials with silver leaf gilding and lacquered colors, combined with excellent Super-LumiNova application. Its 39mm recycled steel case is comfortable and works well as a daily watch, though the dial design makes it wear larger. The dial features meticulous lacquer work and a hidden, hand-chiselled silhouette. The La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement offers a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highly regard the Awake Watches Son Mài for its impressive handcrafted dials and comfortable 39mm case.

From video reviewers

The Son Mài's lacquer dial is consistently praised for its depth and intricate detail. Sharp lugs are cited as a drawback affecting comfort. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition compared to luxury brands.

anOrdain Model 3 Method

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 3 Method's unique, deep, and colorful dial, with one reviewer noting its carved-wood pattern achieved through a complex enameling process. The 39mm case is also considered an improvement over older models, though some prefer the dial typography and hour marker font of earlier versions. While no longer seen as a value proposition by some due to price increases, the overall craftsmanship is deemed worth the cost. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 3 Method highly for its distinctive dial artistry and refined case design.
