What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Kanton

The Sternglas Kanton is praised for its refined Bauhaus-inspired design, featuring a silver-plated dial and luminous hands and dots for excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable 39mm case size, measuring 10mm thick, and the visible STP 1-11 automatic movement through a sapphire crystal case back. Accuracy figures vary, with one source noting +15 seconds per day, while another suggests improved accuracy over previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Kanton highly for its blend of Bauhaus design and Swiss precision at an affordable price point.

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 comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.

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.
