Why We Made the Turquoise Oceanking

Over the last five years, we’ve been playing with beachy, summer-inspired colors in our designs. So naturally, one of the most common questions we get in emails and DMs is: Why use bright colors like turquoise and mint? The answer goes back to my childhood in Italy. Italy is a place of beauty and inspiration—the food, the art, the people. There’s a saying there: La Dolce Vita—“the sweet life.” Th

The material is pressed and shaped to exact tolerances, with t

The anOrdain A1: Decorating La Joux-Perret’s G101 Movement

In early 2020, anOrdain approached Glasgow-based artist Rachel Duckhouse to take up a residency. The subject of movement finishing and decoration had been discussed for some time, and the prevailing view was to approach it with as few preconceived ideas as possible. The techniques in use today often rely on machinery from the 1950s, with hand-finishing filling in the rest. The team posed a questio

Introducing the Model 2 Porcelain: Delving Further into the Vitreous Arts

In the summer of 2021, our enamellers stayed in a rambling chateau outside the French city of Limoges, a place synonymous with the ‘fired arts’. It was a memorable week spent visiting the museum dedicated to the medium, the local enamel manufacturer and some great artisans working in the region. However, the city is best known for the other fired art: porcelain. Inspired by what we’d seen, and int

Why Sellita's Watch Movements Are So Popular

When it comes to movement manufacturers, Sellita is undoubtedly one of the most well-known. The company was founded in 1950, but it is in the last decade or so that it has risen to prominence. This is chiefly because of ETA’s decision to stop supplying movements to third parties outside of the Swatch Group, which created a void in the market that Sellita was only too happy to step up and fill.
