What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver

The Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver is a 40mm hand-wind watch with a black dial, acrylic crystal, and FKM rubber strap, powered by a Sellita SW210 manual wind movement. Owners report the watch gained one second per day, and it comes with a QC and timing report. Some find the Desk Diver a unique novelty, though many consider its $1500 price too high. The watch has 0 meters of water resistance, and its vintage case may show small marks. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver as a unique novelty, with the primary reservation being its high price for its perceived playful nature.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, custom typeface, and syringe hands, calling it a standout feature. The 36mm steel case is noted as a thoughtful, comfortable complement to the dial, and the smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210-1 hand-wound movement is appreciated. Some find the 5atm water resistance limiting, and the anti-reflective coating can be prone to glare. The 18mm strap width is also mentioned as potentially limiting for strap enthusiasts. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and elegant, versatile design.
