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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium for its Bauhaus aesthetic and Glashütte watchmaking quality, viewing it as a dressier piece. One owner notes the Tangomat Ruthenium runs at +2 seconds/day and has a 43-hour power reserve. The watch is offered at $1,850 shipped. Some feel the case proportions are less suited to its sharp design compared to the Tangente. Overall, owners value the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium for its distinctive Bauhaus design and perceived quality craftsmanship.
