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 2 Porcelain

Owners and reviewers praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, highlighting the sublime design and exceptional craftsmanship, particularly the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. The handmade vitreous enamel dial is consistently described as stunning and liquid-like, with subtle details and a harmonious design contributing to its elegant wearability. Some owners note visible dimples from the traditional porcelain production process in certain lighting, and glare from the crystal can obscure the dial's depth. The 36mm case size is considered a perfect fit, feeling like a 38mm to some, though other sources state a 39.5mm case. The watch is powered by the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, offering a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its exquisite enamel dial 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.
