I've just received the email from AnOrdain announcing Fumé dials for the Model 1. I am smitten.
Very impressive
Lovely indeed!
Remove all the markings (a la Moser), a better hand set, remove the seconds hand and we get close to something I'd consider buying (not a fan of the case tbh). The fume looks great but wish I could get onboard with the rest...
I like the green dialled one.
Yeah me too actually. On brown cordovan looks ace.Originally Posted by jmarchitect

Dear God those dials look amazing! I need to subscribe to their newsletter I was planning on picking up one of their watches in the new year.
I know! Just wish i could get onboard with them....
I like that they are doing something different and they have a clear identity. The enamel looks great on these and the mark 1 case is the nicest they do. I'd therefore be seriously tempted, but sadly I don't really like the hands (the minute hand could at least be a bit longer), the font or the even only numbers on the dial. I'd prefer all numbers or stick indices.
They do absolutely nothing for me whatsoever, but I am glad they do for some people.
The dials are absolutely lovely, beautiful effects and (I’m sure) fabulous depth when on the wrist.
Like others, I struggle with the dial markers and hand design; definitely distinctive, I’m just not quite sure I like them...
Dial reminds me of the glashütte original sixties.

I like what they're doing but, to me, a 2-4-8-10 dial shouldn't have a 6 on it.
Die Zeit verwandelt uns nicht, sie entfaltet uns nur.
Agree on this and also the 12 should be removed and have some sort of other marking. Having minutes on the dial is entirely unnecessary as well. Less is more!
I love the dials and the people behind anOrdain seem wonderful. If they would offer a classic, thin-cased watch with dauphine or stick hands, I would be all over it.
I can't make up my mind on the dials - In some photos they look matt and ordinary (the OP for example) and in others much more interesting.
I guess this is something you'd need to see in person to really appreciate.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Massive variability in how a dial looks in pics can suggest a quality that is very dynamic and bewitching when seen in a hand. GS etc....
The green dial is screaming for a bronze case.
Very nice design and good to support a UK company that's genuinely doing something unique
The new dials look superb. I’ve got a red dialled Model one and I only have great things to say about both the watch and AnOrdain.
