What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hemel HFT20

The Hemel HFT20 Chronograph is praised for its legible matte black dial, sapphire crystal, and the satisfying sweep of its chronograph hand, powered by the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement. Reviewers note its convenient wearability, with a 42mm case that wears well due to its 49mm lug-to-lug measurement, and a comfortable, well-made leather strap. However, its 16mm thickness is considered slightly more than ideal for the movement, and the chronograph minutes sub-dial does not precisely jump. Overall, reviewers find the Hemel HFT20 to be an accessible and modern interpretation of vintage designs, offering good value at $449.

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, sublime design, and exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. Reviewers note the deep, glossy black porcelain dial with pad-printed gold numerals and hand-painted lume, though dimples from the traditional production process are visible in certain lighting. The watch features a 39.5mm brushed steel case, a sapphire caseback revealing the La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its unique dial material 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.
