Reviews

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

anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its exceptional vitreous enamel dials, custom typography, and elegant design. The dials are noted for their unique beauty, reflecting light and showcasing depth of color, with one owner describing it as worth the year-long wait. Case finishing is described as basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish and definition on the lugs. The anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) is also noted for keeping good time. However, the significant wait time for delivery, with some owners experiencing nearly two to two and a half years, is a notable drawback and considered an inefficient business practice by one. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) highly for its unique enamel dials and elegant design at an appealing price.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 for its exquisite vitreous enamel dial, noting its depth, unique light play, and custom typography. The watch is also commended for its elegant design, comfortable wearability, and scratch-resistant hardened case. Some owners appreciate the 38mm size and its excellent fit on average wrists. However, significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a notable drawback. A few reviewers mention minor quirks of its handmade nature, such as dial taper or dial feet visibility in certain lighting, and one owner found the strap buckle uncomfortable. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its stunning, handmade enamel dial and excellent value for its artisanal craftsmanship.

From video reviewers

Thoughtful finishing and beautiful color options are notable strengths of the anOrdain Model 1. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not suit everyone's wrist size, and the relatively low 5ATM water-resistance may limit its suitability for swimming or diving. Reviewers disagree on the movement used in the watch, with some mentioning the Sellita SW210 or La Joux Perret G101, while others mention the Sellita SW200.
