So I was looking for a worldtimer (not GMT, but worldtimer) with alarms. Not digital quartz, but a mechanical. And I was surprised to find . . . hardly anything. I found a Merkur Worldtimer alarm, but that was on reddit and Merkur doesn't even have it on their website, so I wonder if it's vaporware.

The only one I found was by Edouard Koehn, which 1) I don't like the amount of empty space on the dial 2) I don't like the look regardless 3) I don't care to spend that much on a watch that…

So yeah, it finally came after DHL asking me the same question over and over and over again and asking me to call them to give them more info only to tell me they don't need any info from me for almost 2 weeks. So here we go.

Granted, I never held the other MAD editions, so I can't speak to how thick they are. But this one doesn't quite wear as thick as the specs suggest; the domed sapphire adds girth without making you feel it. But it's obvious from looking at the display that this...

So got another anOrdain. I wasn't completely sure about the Model 3 Method until I saw them in person last year. Both Aqua and Lichen are gorgeous and don't really show how pretty they are without holding them and seeing the ridges and light reflections in person. If the Lichen was the only option, I would've jumped on it. It's pretty enough to warrant the purchase. But with the Aqua an option as well, it's hard to turn it down.
