What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CIGA Design FALCON

The CIGA Design FALCON is noted for its distinctive skeletonized dial and slim 11mm steel case. Owners highlight the unique back-to-front skeleton design, allowing the Caliber CD-02 movement to be viewed from all angles, and the comfortable H-linked bracelet. Reviewers praise its well-executed honeycomb dial and 36mm case size, though some find the 3-6-9 numeral layout too derivative. It is powered by the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design FALCON for its innovative skeletonization and vintage-inspired design at its price point.

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 comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.

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.
