FOR THE PRACTICAL ONE
For a long time, the watch industry was dominated by large conglomerates, leaving space for independent watchmakers to only create timepieces that were exclusive and super expensive. Things have changed in the past few years, thanks to an influx of intrepid watch lovers who are on a mission to democratise mechanical watches and make them more accessible, without sacrificing quality. Baltic is one such brand.
Founded by Frenchman Etienne Malec, who inherited his love for watches from his father, Baltic is known for its three-pronged approach: quality mechanics, a neo-vintage design aesthetic, and affordability. The Hermetique, featured here, is a 37mm timepiece built to endure our daily vagaries with its 150m water resistance, double domed sapphire glass, Super-Luminova hands and numerals, and vulcanised rubber straps.
