Personal Note
I have been fortunate to have sold a fair few AnOrdain's at this point and I have to say that this Model 1 38mm Plum Fumé has been my favourite yet! Thanks to the deep and rich colour of the dial it really shows what AnOrdain are capable of. If this is one that interests you I wouldn't hesitate, with the brand still having a waitlist on virtually all models and this priced to fly, you won't regret it.
The Brand
AnOrdain was created by Glaswegian Architecture graduate Lewis Heath. Heath’s idea was to set up a workshop and start up a watch brand to master the art of Enamel dial making in the Vitreous “Grand Feu” tradition. The brand is named after a Highland Loch.
