anOrdain Porcelain
コレクションプロフィール · 2025
A separate material direction developed entirely in-house: translucent porcelain dials made by specialist Cara Louise, offering a completely different quality of light and surface.
その意義
Porcelain marks a separate material direction for anOrdain: not just a new colourway but a new craft discipline. It extends the brand’s reputation beyond vitreous enamel into another kiln-fired, hand-finished dial medium while aiming for greater accessibility and batch production than enamel allows.
