Reviews

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

Farer 36mm Three Hand

The Farer 36MM THREE HAND is praised for its vibrant cherry red dial with dual finishes and a 68-hour power reserve from its La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement. Reviewers note its compact, 1960s-inspired design with fluid lines and a slim bezel, and some models feature Super-LumiNova Arabic numerals with syringe hands. However, one reviewer found the included red strap too thick and stiff, and the minute hashes difficult to read. On balance, reviewers highlight the Farer 36MM THREE HAND's attractive design and strong power reserve as key strengths.

From video reviewers

The dial color coordination is a standout strength. The 36mm size is noted as fitting well under cuffs.

anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal

Owners widely praise the build quality and dressy aesthetic of the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal. Some owners desire more case definition, suggesting chamfers to complement the dials, while others prefer anOrdain's signature lacquer dials over the galvanized gold and rhodium options for a precious metal variant. One owner experienced a magnetized movement that caused fast running, but anOrdain replaced the watch and allowed an upgrade to a decorated movement. The 18mm lug width is noted as a drawback by one owner. On balance, owners appreciate the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal for its solid construction and dress watch appeal, despite some aesthetic preferences and a reported movement issue that was resolved.
