At anOrdain, we believe that the best results are achieved when designing and making are done under the same roof. Some of our best ideas come from trying one thing and discovering another: the loop between designing and making is at the heart of who we are. 

We’ve become known for our enamel dials, a signature touch that requires years of expertise to master and imbues each watch with warmth and character. Typically the preserve of only a few ultra-high end brands, we are committed to producing the finest traditionally-made enamels as well as innovating within the field. In 2019 we introduced what we believe to be the world’s first and only fumé enamel dials.

Since anOrdain was founded in 2016, the team has grown from three to around 30. Our nine enamellers range in specialisms such as hand-engraving and champlevé, while Cara Louise now focuses solely on our porcelain dials. Our craftspeople’s skills extend to thermal bluing, dial printing and product development.

In 2025 we moved into our purpose-designed factory in the southside of Glasgow; a property built to allow us to develop new areas of production, and train more craftspeople in existing fields, from type design to cold forging, and assembly to leatherwork.
