NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic

Owners praise the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic for its exceptional blend of traditional Roman numerals and railroad tracks with modern design, highlighting fine details like the tiny logo on the crown and the exceptional dial printing. The long lugs are a significant consideration, with some finding the 35mm model wears larger and the 33mm a better fit for wrists around 6.5 inches. Overall, owners appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic for its unique aesthetic and attention to detail.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as liquid-like, and its simple, rugged 36mm steel case. The smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210 movement is also a frequently cited positive. Some reviewers note the 36mm case wears larger than expected, while others find it perfect for everyday wear and elegant. Criticisms include 5atm water resistance, glare from the sapphire crystal, and the lack of a running seconds hand. One owner expressed a strong desire to reacquire their Model 2 after selling it. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and wearability at the price point.
