Reviews

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

anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal

Owners widely praise the build quality and dressy aesthetic of the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal. Some owners desire more case definition, suggesting chamfers to complement the dials, while others prefer anOrdain's signature lacquer dials over the galvanized gold and rhodium options for a precious metal variant. One owner experienced a magnetized movement that caused fast running, but anOrdain replaced the watch and allowed an upgrade to a decorated movement. The 18mm lug width is noted as a drawback by one owner. On balance, owners appreciate the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal for its solid construction and dress watch appeal, despite some aesthetic preferences and a reported movement issue that was resolved.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium for its Bauhaus aesthetic and Glashütte watchmaking quality, viewing it as a dressier piece. One owner notes the Tangomat Ruthenium runs at +2 seconds/day and has a 43-hour power reserve. The watch is offered at $1,850 shipped. Some feel the case proportions are less suited to its sharp design compared to the Tangente. Overall, owners value the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium for its distinctive Bauhaus design and perceived quality craftsmanship.
