anOrdain Model 1 Precious MetalvsMr Jones Watches Nuage

The anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal is described as dressy with a solid build, though some owners desire more pronounced case chamfers to better define its shape. The galvanized gold and rhodium dials are noted as great, but one owner prefers anOrdain's signature lacquer dials for a precious metal version. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case with 50 meters of water resistance and an in-house regulated ETA 2824-2 movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The 18mm lug width is also flagged as a drawback by one owner. Overall, owners find the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal to be a dressy watch with a solid build, though opinions are split on the dial and case finishing for a precious metal offering.

Owners widely praise the Mr Jones Watches Nuage for its unique dial, hand-gilded with 22-carat gold and palladium silver leaf, and its beautiful case with great lugs. Some owners find it a good value at $305 after tax and a stunning piece in sunlight. However, legibility, particularly at night, is questioned by some. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting consistent inaccuracy of 8-12 minutes behind, while others do not mention this. One owner expressed disappointment that a limited run became a continued production model, and some regret swapping the original strap. Overall, owners rate the Mr Jones Watches Nuage highly for its artistic dial and case finishing.
