The anOrdain Model 1 is available in three case sizes (35mm, 38mm, and 41 mm), giving it broad appeal across wrist sizes. Its signature element is the hand-made vitreous enamel dial, crafted in anOrdain’s Glasgow workshop using traditional enameling techniques.These striking dials are paired with finely printed numerals and elegant heat-treated hands under a sapphire crystal. The Model 1 is a powered by either a Sellita SW210 or La Joux Parret G101. Thoughtful finishing details, clean proportions, and artisanal dial artistry make the Model 1 a standout that bridges watchmaking craft with everyday wearability.

The Naoya Hida & Co. Type 1D is a 37 mm 904L stainless steel case with a thin 9.8 mm profile. Its German silver dial features hand-engraved Breguet numerals filled with lacquer and flame-blued feuille hands, alongside a distinctive small seconds at 9 o’clock. Inside ticks the manual-wind Cal. 3019SS.

In this episode, we are going to discuss about the annual Lunar New Year releases from several watch brands and give our thoughts on it!!

The TRASKA Chronograph Ref. 10251 is a 39 mm automatic chronograph with a svelte, hardened 316L stainless steel case and a tungsten tachymeter bezel insert for enhanced scratch resistance. Instead of traditional hands, it uses transparent rotating discs for the elapsed minutes and running seconds, paired with static red reference lines for a fresh bicompax display.

Powering the watch is a Seiko NE86 automatic movement. The watch has a box-style sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, 75 m water resistance, and bold square pushers, while a hardened steel bracelet with quick-release and micro-adjust clasp rounds out the package.

The Christopher Ward × Bark & Jack “Green Fifteen” is a purposeful, enthusiast-led take on the C60 Trident Lumière dive watch, built in a 41 mm Grade 2 titanium case with a slim 10.85 mm profile and 300 m water resistance. Its matte-black dial and bi-colour Super-LumiNova bezel feature green lume for the first 15 minutes and blue for the rest, with the green minute hand tying the concept together, the namesake “Green Fifteen” glow. Inside beats a COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement.

The watch ships on Christopher Ward’s adjustable titanium Bader bracelet with a quickly changeable exclusive Bark & Jack strap, and even includes a UV torch to reveal the hidden Bark & Jack logo on the dial.
