Reviews

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

anOrdain Fabrik

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Fabrik's hand-made vitreous enamel dials, noting their depth, character, and excellent typography. The 38mm case is generally considered comfortable and well-balanced, though some find it slightly small. The La Joux-Perret G101 movement is standard for the price point, contributing to an appealing value. A significant drawback for some is the over two-year waitlist for the popular enamel models, and a criticism exists regarding the stubby, counterpoise-less seconds hand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Fabrik highly for its exceptional enamel dials at an accessible price.

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

Owners and reviewers praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, highlighting the sublime design and exceptional craftsmanship, particularly the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. The handmade vitreous enamel dial is consistently described as stunning and liquid-like, with subtle details and a harmonious design contributing to its elegant wearability. Some owners note visible dimples from the traditional porcelain production process in certain lighting, and glare from the crystal can obscure the dial's depth. The 36mm case size is considered a perfect fit, feeling like a 38mm to some, though other sources state a 39.5mm case. The watch is powered by the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, offering a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its exquisite enamel dial 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.
