Model 1 Porcelain: Anordain Adds Porcelain Dial and New Breguet-Style Typeface

Model 1 Porcelain swaps Anordain’s signature fired enamel for a traditional porcelain dial.
The other obvious change is typographic: the watch introduces a brand-new custom font that riffs on the classic Breguet numerals. That choice shifts the watch’s personality away from Anordain’s usual enamel look and toward a dressier, more typographic detail.
As SJX Watches first reported, this is a deliberate step by a brand best known for affordable watches with fired enamel dials. The porcelain dial and the bespoke numerals underline a broader intent to refine visual detail rather than to alter core case or movement architecture.
What we can confirm
- Model name: Model 1 Porcelain
- Dial: traditional porcelain (not fired enamel)
- Numerals: new custom font inspired by Breguet-style numerals
- Context: Anordain is shifting design focus toward finer typographic and dial details
The move is small but meaningful. Porcelain dials and a custom typeface are visible, brand-defining choices. They change how the watch reads on the wrist without requiring new mechanics.
Watch for two follow-ups: whether Anordain applies the typeface across other models, and whether porcelain becomes a recurring option alongside enamel. Those answers will tell us whether this is an experiment or the start of a new design direction.
