What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Beaufort Aerotimer

Owners widely praise the Beaufort Aerotimer for its handsome, high-contrast salmon dial and museum-quality finishing, creating a sharp dress field watch with excellent legibility and a crisp California dial. One owner notes the power reserve is closer to 30-34 hours than advertised and finds the 11.45mm thickness slightly noticeable, while another would change the strap. Lume on the 3 and 9 o'clock markers is reportedly poor. Overall, owners rate the Beaufort Aerotimer highly for its vintage style and beautiful craftsmanship at its price point.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exceptional, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as stunning and liquid-like, with a custom typeface and syringe hands. The simple, rugged 36mm steel case is noted for its organic lines and comfortable wearability, and the hand-winding Sellita SW-210 movement offers a smooth winding action. The watch is considered to offer impressive value for its dial work. Some reviewers note the lack of a running seconds hand, a minute track on certain versions, and limited lume on the hands. Water resistance is rated at 5atm, and one reviewer found the AR coating prone to glare. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its exquisite enamel dial and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.
