What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1972

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1972 Maverick for its cool retro style, 12-hour chronograph, sapphire crystal, and comfortable 40mm-equivalent wearability. The distinct chrono pusher clicks and the unique ability to turn off the running seconds are also noted strengths. However, the lume is not bright or evenly applied, and the alarm feature is considered poorly executed, with a quiet, short-lived alarm and a difficult-to-use pusher. One owner reported a negative customer service experience involving a dead quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1972 highly for its retro styling and value despite noted shortcomings in its lume and alarm functionality.

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, sublime design, and exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. Reviewers note the deep, glossy black porcelain dial with pad-printed gold numerals and hand-painted lume, though dimples from the traditional production process are visible in certain lighting. The watch features a 39.5mm brushed steel case, a sapphire caseback revealing the La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its unique dial material 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.
