Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, sublime design, and exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. Reviewers note the deep, glossy black porcelain dial with pad-printed gold numerals and hand-painted lume, though dimples from the traditional production process are visible in certain lighting. The watch features a 39.5mm brushed steel case, a sapphire caseback revealing the La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its unique dial material and detailed case finishing at its price point.
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.
The Praesidus DD-45 Hangar Midnight is lauded for its unique, two-year-developed "Patina" dial, designed to authentically mimic aging on indices and hands, with reviewers highlighting its 38mm stainless steel case as ideal for wearability and its vintage aesthetic. Reviewers note solid finishing and a well-made leather strap, alongside a robust 100-meter water resistance. However, the "A-11" caseback engraving is seen by some as a departure from strict authenticity, and the lume is less bright than anticipated due to the aging treatment. The Swiss Landeron L24 movement's hand-winding action is described as jerky. On balance, reviewers find the Praesidus DD-45 Hangar Midnight a compelling vintage-inspired watch, primarily due to its unique dial development and wearable case size.
