What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

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.

From video reviewers

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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik 38 Update

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its beautifully simple, minimalist design, thin and light wearability, and value. The 38mm case size is frequently cited as perfect and wearable, with one owner noting its under-the-radar versatility. The German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement is a specific point of appreciation. However, one owner reported significant accuracy issues, with the watch losing up to 60 seconds a day, and another noted the hard-edged case is prone to scratches. Some owners also find the lugs wear larger than the case size. On balance, the consensus is that owners highly value the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its minimalist design and wearability at its price point.
