The Baltic Prismic is the champagne bubble of watchmaking. Its metallic pink dial, with its sunny guilloché, captures the light like a dream. The pyramidal indexes add a touch of mystery, like stars in the night. The universal case in steel and titanium, with its polished and brushed horns, combines complexity and elegance. Inside, the finely decorated Peseux manual movement is a jewel of precision. The steel mesh bracelet, of rare elegance, completes this unique watch. The Baltic Prismic is originality and elegance at a very reasonable price. If not a revolution, we are really in the presence of a real evolution at Baltic.

A statement of originality and elegance

I am absolutely delighted with my purchase of the Baltic Tricompax "Tour Auto 2024 Limited Edition" chronograph! This watch is a real watchmaking gem, which combines both the retro aesthetics of the 1960s and a modern color code, personally, this color code immediately makes me think of BMW Motorsport.
The design is both classic and sporty, with a perfect balance between the chronograph elements and the time indices. The manufacturing quality is "high level", with careful finishing and a precise movement.
But what really blew me away was the luxurious packaging that accompanies this watch. The two dashboard instruments, intended for racing cars, are an added value for its owner, it's the kind of bonus that makes you smile. The dashboard clock and the 30 min Flyback chronograph, which take place in a steel plate, are designed to be hung on the dashboard of the car. This is a detail that shows the attention paid by Baltic to the automotive world and the quality of its products.
What also strikes me is the color code that Baltic is developing with this model, the brand is abandoning the "Tritium patina" side. We feel that the brand is taking a stylistic turn, by reinterpreting neo-vintage in its own way, without simply copying old models. The Tour Auto 2024 chronograph, as well as the future Prismic model, show that Baltic is creating its own language, with a unique and recognizable style.
I recommend the Baltic Tricompax "Tour Auto 2024 Limited Edition" chronograph to all fans of thermal cars, racing watches and collectors. Even if it is very recent, it is a purchase that I will not regret! Baltic is forging a place among the major players in watchmaking, and this model is proof of that.

A chronograph that asserts itself

You have this "BatGirl" thing, a certain something that sticks to your skin like a shadow. It may not seem like much, but it makes you shine and gives you that extra something: Elegance, insolence, functionality, resistance, all that is you and me, but in a watch version.
Your black dial is like a black hole that swallows the light, but with style. It creates a bloody contrast with your black and blue bezel, highlighting your white gold indexes and hands. Your sapphire crystal is like a shield that protects you from scratches, and allows me to read the time even when my world is falling apart.
Every detail of you is thought out, calculated, so that every time I look at you, I feel like I'm discovering a nugget.
Having you on your wrist: It's like an adrenaline rush, something that makes you feel alive, even in the routine and grayness of everyday life.

A horological phoenix in a furious world

I had the pleasure of discovering the Omnis brand through the Sphere model, I was impressed by the personalized customer experience offered by François the founder of the brand, who takes the time to contact his customers personally.
The watch itself is a real success, with its domed sapphire crystal that adds a touch of sophistication to the design. The rotor of the movement is carefully decorated, testifying to the attention paid to detail. But what really surprised me is the excellent value for money offered by this watch. It is truly a safe bet for lovers of beautiful watches.
I highly recommend the Omnis brand to anyone looking for a quality watch that combines originality, sportiness and refinement.

Japanese Fine Watchmaking
Imagine yourself in a secret workshop at the foot of Mount Fuji, where master watchmakers wield their tools with samurai precision. This is where the SLGH003 comes to life. It is the result of years of craftsmanship, tradition and innovation. Forget the clichés about Swiss and German watches. Japanese fine watchmaking is a force in its own right, and the SLGH003 is living proof.
An Affordable Masterpiece
Some people think that fine watchmaking is reserved for billionaires and eccentric collectors. Well, think again! The SLGH003 is an affordable gem. Its price, while more than a cheese pizza, is far from exorbitant. You don’t have to sell a kidney or take out a loan for three generations to afford it. It’s there, within reach, ready to make you forget your earthly worries.
The Perfect Balance
The SLGH003 juggles tradition and modernity like a tightrope walker above an erupting volcano. Its Hi-Beat 9SA5 movement beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour, as if each second were a katana strike. The finishes, worthy of the greatest masters, recall the Zen gardens of Kinkaku-ji. And yet, it remains humble, without boasting or pretension.
In fact:
The Grand Seiko SLGH003 is a delicious paradox. It is the watch you wear to a society dinner, but also the one you take hiking in the mountains. It is understated elegance, sophistication without ostentation. So, my friends, look no further. Japanese fine watchmaking has a name: SLGH003. And she's waiting for you, ready to seduce you, without you having to sell a single organ.
