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 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.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
