Another cheap alternative to this watch is the Lobinni interlaken 1888. It also features the same hangzhou CAL 5000A movement + a date window for a mere $200. I think affordable mechanical watches are gaining traction and I’d love to see it being reviewed on this amazing channel.

I have the Lobinni and it is a nice watch IMO - it shows the possibilities of this movement. It is much bigger though. Don’t forget that Baltic can charge their price because the market agrees with it (otherwise it wouldn’t sell). IMO paying the price Baltic asks for, is fair for the design and execution of the MR-01 (as is the Lobinni!)

Needless to say, I paused this video half way through, moved some funds around and purchased a blue dial version from the pre-order in July. I know it's going to be even sweeter when it finally ships out in September. Thanks Watchfinder for helping me make what will surely be my favourite purchase of the year!

Like some other people here I've just ordered one of these, but then I read some of the negative comments on the movement accuracy and a 'cheap' feeling when handling one. Started to feel a little deflated at first but, you know what? I still think I'm gonna love this watch. The dial design is aesthetic perfection, case size is exactly what suits me, and I'll enjoy looking at some of the decorative elements of the movement through the case back. Pearlage AND cote de geneve stripes? Decent effort for a watch that price. I can deal with losing/gaining a minute or so a day as I'm a vintage lover and I'm used to that. Alright, it's no Lange or Patek but this is still one of the best-looking affordable indie brand watches right now and it's so good to see Watchfinder doff its hat to Baltic.

Maybe I have lots of prejudices, but with significantly less than 700€ that you get a Tissot with an ETA movement, zapphire front and rear windows and water proof (100m). This Baltic is certainly beautiful but with a Chinese movement, plastic window and just splash-proof (3 ATM). Maybe this is just the confirmation that nothing beats a Tissot when it comes to the quality/price ratio.

Ordered! IMO Baltic have made a desirable watch (and brand) through great design choices. This is a 36mm watch, which retail-wise, just would not sell well if it were made by the bigger watch companies - they just would not make it. But there is a niche Baltic have found it seems to be doing well. There was a point you made about ‘made in Hong Kong but assembled in France’ - why is ‘French watch assembly and regulation’ better (respected?) than it’s Hong Kong/Chinese equivalent? If ‘Made in Japan” can become something of a laughing stock to one of the elite manufacturers in the span of 30-40 years - then surely an even larger nation can reach that standard even quicker. South Korean cars, for example, had to be sold at half the price and double the warranty periods of their european counterparts a few years ago but today the price difference is a lot closer. The bigger amount of watchmakers in the world, the larger amount of competition there will be - for consumers this only be a good thing

Usually your reviews are of watches beyond my means. This time however, you’ve picked a brand which I already own. I have a Bicompax 002 Chronograph with the Sea Gull column wheel movement. To my eye, the movement is the best part of this watch, It’s very nicely decorated particularly for a watch at this price. Unfortunately I can’t say that for the rest of the watch. The dial is nice, but nothing special, and the gilt hands look, well, cheap. The case is not impressive either. I never really bonded with this watch and it’s been up for sale for sometime. And that’s the other problem, they are rather high priced for the overall quality and it looks like I may have to take a beating on it to sell it. In all honesty this is probably true of most micro brands. Thanks for your review. I haven’t seen this watch you’re reviewing and maybe it’s a nicer piece in the flesh than mine. Regardless I do enjoy your reviews and your commentary. Keep up the good work.

I've been eyeing this watch for a while now and this video just forced me to pre-order a blue dial version. It will be a few months till it gets here but I couldn't be happier. Thank you WF!

Hamilton 940 i was carrying was superb at timekeeping. For weeks it would only differ maybe 10 seconds. Its an 18s size pocket watch made in 1908.

The vintage look of this watch is beautiful and the dial is kinda different of the other watches cause it has texture that is so amazing that give its more beautiful look of it.❣ The movement is fascinating too 👏👌

It has very beautiful engraving patterns on bridges. I wonder do they literally have artisan sitting behind rose engine and making guilloche or it is more automatized process, like CNC engraving that today can look really authentic in imitating guilloche pattern. It would surprise me if there is a lot of handmaking involved knowing labor cost in Hong Kong and price of this watch. You know anything about their production process?

Absolutely no chance it was hand done. Not necessarily a bad thing, as you note, automated engraving has come on leaps and bounds. But if you had an artisan decorated movement and this side by side, I think you'd tell immediately.

That's an amazing little watch. If it said Patek on the dial instead of Baltic, you could move the decimal point in the asking price a couple of zeros to the right.

Yeah..... No. Anyone who knows anything about luxury watches would take one look at this watch and laugh at a $65000 price tag on this watch. In the macro shots you can see dirt and oil all over the movement, as well as a fiber under the glass. There would be riots outside the Patek factory if they released such a shitty watch. You can buy watches with the exact same movement on aliexpress for like $120.

@@dandc2011 I'm talking about the overall design aesthetic - the way it looks, its proportions, the use of a micro rotor, the colour choices, the textured dial, choice of applicate Arabic numerals. Yes, if it was a genuine Patek, it'd be far cleaner with infinitely better finishing, probably in precious metals - but as it is, the overall design looks like it "could" have come from Patek.

"...keep this one as far away from water as you would a Gremlin." Classic! Once again, another great video. Love the looks of this watch, wish it was bigger as 36mm is too small for me. Again, great job!

Baltic has been coming out with some really great watches in the last couple years. I remember the first time I heard about them...there offerings weren't all that compelling, but I have to say they have a solid catalog at this point.

Is this a paid review? The timing with the preorder seems too perfect. If it is, more power to you and get that dough. And if it isn’t, that’s cool too. But it would be nice to know for transparency and integrity of this review.

Seriously Mr Talikng Hands, now look at the Lobini 1888. Same movement, 39mm, 8.5mm thickness (thinnest point), domed sapphire crystal, same numerals, same hands but with a centre cut out, and IMHO a truly beautiful watch, plus you get the date complication…£150 from Ali Express. Go on, tell me it’s not a better deal, I dare you 😉

Such an amazing piece let down by the unsigned crown & lack of sapphire crystal. Surely that's such a tiny cost compared to a microrotor movement?
