The new anOrdain Model 1 Porcelain brings a genuine white porcelain dial to the brand’s popular Model 1 case, offering the same 38 mm stainless‑steel construction, sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance without the infamous five‑year enamel queue. The dial is hand‑crafted using traditional pottery techniques in Glasgow, featuring custom blue numerals by typographer Kia Tasbihgou and meticulously finished steel hands. Production remains limited to 70 pieces at launch, with a monthly batch strategy that keeps the total run to just 70 watches, ensuring exclusivity while providing a more accessible path to ownership. Buyers can choose between the La Joux‑Perret calibre G101 or the decorated A1 movement, priced at £2,200 + VAT (≈ $2,950) for the G101 and £2,520 + VAT (≈ $3,400) for the A1. The watch ships with an in‑house 18 mm leather strap, the first to be produced by anOrdain’s own textile department. Orders open on 27 August 2026 through anordain.com, with existing customers receiving priority access and delivery expected within two weeks.
