AnOrdain Model 1 Porcelain With Numerals By Kia Tasbihgou
AnOrdain has introduced the Model 1 Porcelain, a new watch featuring a traditional, hand-made porcelain dial designed in collaboration with typographer Kia Tasbihgou. This release offers an alternative to the brand's highly sought-after enamel dials, utilizing a more scalable production method while maintaining artisanal quality. The watch retains the familiar Model 1 case and is powered by a La Joux-Perret automatic movement.
- Limited to 70 pieces initially, with more to follow monthly
- Price: £2,200 / US$2,950 (standard movement)
- Price: £2,520 / US$3,400 (decorated movement)
- Available for sale starting August 27, 2026
The typography for the dial was created by graphic and type designer Kia Tasbihgou, drawing inspiration from classic Breguet pocket watches.
The dial is made using traditional porcelain-making techniques from clay, with a high rejection rate, making it a challenging but rewarding process.
The watch features heat-blued steel hands, with the hour hand's open circle echoing the '0' numerals on the dial.
AnOrdain's enamel dials have a five-year waiting list, and the porcelain dial offers a solution for customers seeking quicker access to the brand's craftsmanship.
The Model 1 case features a mix of brushed and polished surfaces, with short lugs and broad outer polished faceting.
The watch is powered by either the standard La Joux-Perret G101 or a decorated version, the A1, which features spiral anthracite striping and a partially skeletonized rotor.
The absence of numerals for the odd hours on the dial is a deliberate design choice that showcases a modern interpretation of classic watchmaking.
The watch is available with an optional decorated movement (A1 caliber) featuring a unique spiral motif designed specifically for AnOrdain.
