NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 33 noirvsanOrdain The Pink Dial Project

The NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 33 noir is widely praised for its elegant, ultra-dressy Bauhaus design featuring Roman numerals and gold hands, its slim profile, and its value as an entry into in-house German watchmaking at $1,700. Owners appreciate the smooth manual wind movement, with some noting the availability of display case backs on other Ludwig models. However, the 33mm diameter may be considered diminutive by some, and the long lug-to-lug distance is a point of discussion, with owners split on whether it appears disproportionate on smaller wrists or contributes positively to the design by creating a gap between the dial and strap. One pre-owned example was noted to have slight marks on the bezel and case, with wear and creasing on the strap.

The anOrdain The Pink Dial Project is praised for its in-house vitreous enamel dial featuring custom typography. It is powered by a Sellita SW200-1 movement and priced just over $1,300. The Model 2 MKII variant includes a minute track and seconds hand, enhancing its practicality as a daily wearer over the MKI's minimalist design. Overall, reviewers highlight the unique enamel dial as a key distinguishing feature of the anOrdain The Pink Dial Project.
