What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exceptional, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as stunning and liquid-like, with a custom typeface and syringe hands. The simple, rugged 36mm steel case is noted for its organic lines and comfortable wearability, and the hand-winding Sellita SW-210 movement offers a smooth winding action. The watch is considered to offer impressive value for its dial work. Some reviewers note the lack of a running seconds hand, a minute track on certain versions, and limited lume on the hands. Water resistance is rated at 5atm, and one reviewer found the AR coating prone to glare. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its exquisite enamel dial and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente power reserve

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente power reserve for its classic Bauhaus-inspired, minimalistic design and thin, comfortable wearability. The German in-house Alpha movement is noted for its 43-hour power reserve. Some owners express concern about potential lug overhang on smaller wrists, though the 35mm diameter is generally considered compact. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente power reserve highly for its elegant design and comfortable, slim profile.
