anOrdain’s humble brand out of Glasgow, Scotland is one to be watched. They create bold but eminently tasteful handmade timepieces that look like no other. Now, they’ve added a gorgeous fumé dial to their original Model 1, making it utterly mesmerizing to behold. The gradient coloring isn’t easy to come by and requires a painstaking process that allows the metal to below the enamel coloring to peek through. The new fumé dial comes in four colors: grey, blue, plum, and green. Each one is stunning. The 38mm case is modest and classic, and the movement is a modified ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic. The cartographic font that the brand is known for remains, as well as the unique heat-treated and hand-polished hands. Grab one now because only 12 units per color are available for order now and will ship in February of 2021.
