What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue is praised for its haute horology aesthetics, gorgeous movement, and striking handset, with one owner finding its 13,800 € price well worth it for the full gold case, large power reserve display, and hand-engraved movement. However, reviewers note its high-gloss enamel dial can be reflective, and some owners find its 42mm size wears large due to the thin bezel and dial proportion, while its price is considered steep by some. Opinions are split on the large power reserve display, with some finding it "weird" and others appreciating its "steampunk vibes." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue for its impressive movement and unique aesthetic, though its size and price are points of consideration.

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.
