What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer CUSHION CASE

The Farer CUSHION CASE is widely praised for its reinterpreted case with dramatic angles and steeper bezel slope, vibrant gradient dials crafted with a unique spinning and layering process, and the visual refinement of the Elaboré-grade Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom engraving. Owners appreciate the case's "bat-ear" lugs, sloping bezel, polished finish, and scalloping between the lugs for strap integration, with specific colorways like pistachio and tea green dials being favorites. Some commenters note the grey numeral track on the salmon dial or eastern Arabic markings on the green dial as detractors, and one user questions the choice of a manual-wind movement over an automatic. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive case design and vibrant, textured dials.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 for its exquisite vitreous enamel dial, noting its depth, unique light play, and custom typography. The watch is also commended for its comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.

From video reviewers

Thoughtful finishing and beautiful color options are notable strengths of the anOrdain Model 1. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not suit everyone's wrist size, and the relatively low 5ATM water-resistance may limit its suitability for swimming or diving. Reviewers disagree on the movement used in the watch, with some mentioning the Sellita SW210 or La Joux Perret G101, while others mention the Sellita SW200.
