Just want to clarify *this video is not sponsored by Baltic* . I said it a little too late in this video but Baltic has not contacted us, paid us, etc. We just noticed that Baltic is occupying a weird space in the watch world where very high level collectors are showing off Baltics regularly (or it feels like it), and people are constantly recommending a Baltic over $20k something watches. Huckberry sponsored this video and they don't sell Baltic in their shop. *Michael also noted later in the video that the watches do feel rather cheap*

I’m sure you have heard of the following micros, but not sure if you have handled them. I find that both Wise and Traska offer great value with equally good quality. Just in case you wanted to check out something new. Traska Freediver and Wise Adamascus diver specifically are pieces I really enjoy. I also took a flyer on the Arken Alterum several months back and am awaiting its arrival. I will follow up with you and let you know my thoughts if you are interested? Again, thanks for taking the time to create and share great content.

I think the joy of microbrand watches is that for someone who only has 1 high-end luxury watch purchase in their life, they can find out what they do and don't like, what suits and what doesn't at a fraction of the price than making all those mistakes with real money. Plus, some of them are great watches. Tried on a few (grail) luxury watches at the airport, and they're just so shiny it seems tacky compared to watches at a fraction of the price.

Like a good haircut, the shine fades in a few weeks. The cuff of your sweater will micro scratch all that high polish into a dull shine. It’s the reason I have no interest in Grand Seiko when the fancy polish is good for a day or two then it’s the same as Rolex, omega, any other good watch.

For reference, I have many higher end pieces but I also have the HMS and MR01 silver (among other inexpensive micro brands). They are great inexpensive pieces that look great however, in my opinion the quality comparison to higher end pieces that I see across the internet is inappropriate. That’s not to say they are not a great value as they are but it’s important to manage expectations. The above said, I genuinely enjoy finding and collecting micro brands alongside more established manufactures.

You guys need to talk about the Longines tuxedo chronograph. It's an absolutely gorgeous dial that you can get from a dealer for under $3k brand new. I own this one myself and I love wearing it. There aren't many KZbin clips about it and Longines doesn't really promote it but I think it might be their best looking watch.

The analogy here is what makes a great cover song? 1/ It emulates the feeling and essence that make the original great but 2/ reinterprets it, bringing something new and original. For a watch, if the “cover” is also more affordable, obtainable and - importantly - less of a liability to wear anywhere…then that’s interesting!

Great video guys, as usual. I do think you missed the mark on comparator microbrands. There is no discussion of Baltic that doesn’t include Lorier. You want a Quintessential dive watch, Lorier has one. You love classic GMTs, Lorier has one. You want a globally recognized dress watch, Lorier has one. You should really take a look at Lorier if you like Baltic and the price point. AND they are in your backyard! I might be mistaken, but I think “Lorier did it first”.

Important! It's a modern watch, in the style of a retro. In everyway, style, feel, quality. So their competition is something old. When you understand this, then you can evaluate your Baltic. I have two Aquascaphes. My bronze took some getting used to, but after changing straps, is now a firm favourite. The titanium is great to use like a G Shock, when you go to a dodgy part of town in the evening. BTW, great content today. Everyone is working well together. I think the three hander is a good way forward.

I owned that watch (MR01) and it was the cheapest feeling watch I’ve ever owned. It looked good from like 3+ feet away, but close up it’s so trash. Even people who know nothing about watches can tell it’s shit quality. My mom’s first impression was that it feels cheap, and she thinks my dad’s citizen watches are the nicest watches on earth lol. Owned this watch for a week and sold it, it was the most disappointing purchase ever. It took me actual time to determine if the case was plastic or not… that’s how bad it was. I was literally afraid to wind it because the hands were so flimsy feeling. It would like rock backwards to the previous second if you stopped in the middle of a wind and would often get stuck. I actually can’t believe they’re presenting it in this light. How anyone could hold this watch and still praise it is beyond me. I felt ripped off

Part of the thing with a potential shift to dress watches is that they come with outfits that a lot of people seem to be opposed to on a deepset and (I have always argued) unintentionally self-destructive level. I love dress watches, and I love the outfits they come with. But the resistance to these - especially among Americans - is often brutal. Food for thought, no more, no less.

I respectfully disagree with Christian on “ everyone must one 1 sports watch or 1 dress watch”. Not everyone cares about watches like we watch enthusiasts do. Also, this hobby is expensive so someone who doesn’t care about it isn’t going to buy multiple watches. If anything, everyone should own one dress/ casual watch whether that’s an Omega Aquaterra38/41, Rolex OP or Datejust , or even some options from Longines like the Spirit 37/40 or new Conquest. You can put any of these watches on straps and dress them up or keep them on their bracelets and wear them more casually.

Not sure if collectors are actually obsessed with Baltic but I have to disagree that they are a good purchase. Nowadays, their cheapest watch is around 650- 680 euro. For that amount of money you can get a swiss made watch with swiss movement. Yes, Baltic watches are nicely designed but so is Hamilton, Certina, Tissot, etc. If you think about it, for around 700 euro you can get a truly nice Hamilton Khaki. That being said, everyone should buy whatever they like and will make them happy about their choice.

In regard to Chris’ Ward’s 2023 Moonphase… There is an obscure micro-brand (with a Swiss designer and maybe some backing - I don’t remember) producing in China - Agelocer - with a very similar moon-phase watch, with shiny big moon and a blue aventurine dial. They launched the watch in 2021!They even made a second or even a third variation since then. And many other watches. Very interesting dials and some quirky movements, some heavily modified if not made up from scratch. Worth a look, at least for gossip factor :))

No one needs a dress watch. A steel bracelet diver will work in any situation. You could be in a tuxedo and they work.

I was expecting this to be a G Shock video. I daily a Baltic Aquascahphe GMT blue/green. The Aquascaphe GMT uses a Soprod C125 Swiss movement. I abuse the crap out of it and the only visible scratches are on the bracelet clasp.

The Baltic scratched my itch for a GMT. My next watch will probably be an 18k yellow dress watch. Either a new JLC Master Calendar or second hand Saxonia.

We should also appreciate the name of the brand and logo of Baltic IMO. It's not a name like Furry Mary, I bet that puts some collectors off. Just like how I refuse to buy a BALL watch even though tritium is cool.

To answer the microbrand with a POV that matters question: Farer Universal.

Absolutely it is! Or it's just a coincidence that another Chanel "just one more watch " published yesterday a sponsored video by...let's all say this together...Baltic! Yeah just a sheer coincidence...no one is promoted anything. It's not like Baltic came out with a new campaign...no no no 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a F*king joke this channel is so fake and it's disgusting that they try to deny it. Shame on those pathetic simps

I’ve had an MR01 and played with the watches in their London showroom a couple of times. I find them a little meh. Just another microbrand. A CW Bel canto is the only watch from this space which really blows my mind.

I want an MR01, but I refuse to get one until they put sapphire on it. At that price point, there's no excuse for it not to have one. Hell, Chinese copy, the Militado ML01 (an exact copy) costs $99… The only difference is the movement, and the MR01 doesn't have a great one to begin with. I think Baltic and Yema are great watches, but they should be cheaper. Especially the Yema. I'd rather have a MAEN or CW.
