What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE

Owners widely praise the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE for its compact wearability, with a 10mm thickness and 38mm lug-to-lug measurement, and its attractive, art deco-inspired dials featuring vibrant color gradients. Reviewers highlight the reinterpreted case angles, steeper bezel slope, and the visually appealing hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom finishing. Some owners find the 35mm size wears smaller than expected, while others note cushion cases can wear larger than their stated diameter, and there is a split opinion on whether the 35mm size is ideal for all wrists. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW210-1 movement with a 45-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 50 meters, priced around $1165/€1,195/£1,045. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive design and perceived value.

anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its exceptional vitreous enamel dial, custom typography, and elegant, handmade aesthetic. The dial's deep colors and light-reflecting properties are frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with crisp printing and legible layouts. One owner notes the case finishing is basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish and defined lugs. The watch is considered worth the wait and looks better in person, becoming a daily wearer for some. However, long wait times from deposit to delivery, sometimes nearly two years, are a significant drawback. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is standard with a 38-hour power reserve, and one reviewer wished the 12.3mm case was slimmer. Another owner found the case plain and the buckle thin, while also noting white hands could crowd dial numbers on a GMT variant. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting good timekeeping and another noting the watch is keeping good time.

From video reviewers

The enamel dial is a standout feature. Legibility issues were addressed by reluming the hands.
