Reviews

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

Isotope Flyway

Owners appreciate the Isotope Flyway's design, with one owner calling it a good introduction to microbrands. However, opinions are split on the bezel; one reviewer finds the Clous de Paris bezel breaks the design language, while one owner considers it too fancy. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Isotope Flyway appealing for its design, despite differing views on the bezel's aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The 36mm case size is cited as a strength for wearability. The Landeron automatic movement is mentioned as a notable feature. No shared weaknesses were identified.

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.
