A hidden gem!

Aug 03, 2021,15:20 PM
 

Last week, in a collaboration with the Scottish watch company, anordain,  the Windup Watch Company released three limited editions of 50 watches each. Of the three, one was with a silver dial, one with a black dial but the one that caught my eye was the salmon dial version. Needless to say, that sold out within a few hours and I kept adding my name to the wait list.  Due to the time difference (me being based in Malaysia) the watch became available between 2am and 5am and every time I did try placing an order after waking up, the watch was unavailable.


Finally the watch became available once again at 10.45pm tonight (half an hour ago!) and I quickly placed my order.  The watch costs only USD1,250 but what a watch it is. 38mm in diameter, 11mm in height with a ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. I love the dial, the hands, the lugs and the absence of a date makes it more attractive to me.  I look forward to receiving this hidden gem later this year.  

Thank you for reading!

AnOrdain make great pieces. That one looks brilliant! Here are some distant cousins πŸ˜€ ...  

Ah the distant cousins look great too!

I have been eyeing this brand for a while now and I am glad I have finally acquired one. Amazing value for money!

Totally agree.

Amazing value and great people behind the brand. If it’s not an imposition and in case you are interested, here is a podcast I did with Lewis Heath (AnOrdain founder) for the FifthWrist Radio podcast. Great guy and a great brand!

Thank you sharing!

I am actually partial to all things Scottish and hope to buy a home there one day so a watch made in Glasgow was a no brainer!

I love that one too

My only qualm would be the case height could have been reduced to under 9mm instead of the current 11mm, the latter being a feature throughout the anOrdain range. I look forward ton trying this watch on and will post more photos then.

Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder :-)

You know me Mahesh - never have watch collectors been spoiled with such a wide array of brands to choose from so we in turn can afford to discriminate and choose the very best for ourselves!
