A refined expression of modern dress watchmaking - the Baltic MR01 pairs classical proportions with a beautifully engineered micro-rotor movement. Inspiration & Design The Baltic MR01 represents Baltic’s interpretation of the classic dress watch, distilled into its purest form. Elegant without feeling precious, the MR01 is defined by restraint, balance, and mechanical sophistication rather than ornamentation. Every design decision is intentional: compact dimensions, subtle textures, and traditional detailing are brought together with modern execution. The result is a watch that feels timeless on the wrist - refined, calm, and quietly confident. Dial & Case Details Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case, the MR01 strikes an ideal balance between vintage elegance and contemporary wearability. The bezel and lugs are polished for subtle refinement, while the caseband is horizontally brushed, creating contrast without visual noise. The dial is where the MR01’s character truly emerges. Finished in a glossy blue or salmon, it is complemented by applied Breguet-style numerals that add depth and classical charm. Polished leaf-shaped hour and minute hands glide across the dial with understated grace. At 7 o’clock, the off-centre small seconds sub-dial introduces quiet asymmetry. Finished with a guilloché texture, it adds visual interest while maintaining the watch’s overall balance and composure. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, enhancing legibility while reinforcing the watch’s elegant profile. Movement & Mechanics At the heart of the MR01 is an automatic micro-rotor movement, visible in full through the transparent caseback. Unlike conventional automatic calibres, the micro-rotor is integrated into the movement’s plane, allowing the entire mechanism to be viewed unobstructed. This architecture delivers two key advantages: A beautifully exposed movement with uninterrupted visual depth An exceptionally slim profile - just 9.9mm thick (approx. 8mm without crystal) The result is a dress watch that feels light, refined, and effortless on the wrist, while still offering the mechanical engagement collectors value. Bracelet & Wearability This version of the MR01 is paired with a stainless steel beads-of-rice (BOR) bracelet, enhancing both comfort and vintage character. Fluid, flexible, and visually elegant, the bracelet drapes naturally around the wrist and complements the watch’s classical proportions perfectly. At 36mm, the MR01 wears comfortably across a wide range of wrist sizes, making it an ideal daily companion for those who appreciate understated mechanical watchmaking. Why RAW Curated This The MR01 captures what Baltic does best — classical design, thoughtful proportions, and mechanical elegance without excess. A modern dress watch that rewards close inspection rather than attention. Final Impression The Baltic MR01 Blue BOR is a study in restraint and refinement. From its compact case and glossy dial to its beautifully engineered micro-rotor movement, every element is designed to feel deliberate and timeless. Whether in blue or salmon, the MR01 is a watch for those who appreciate quiet detail, mechanical integrity, and elegance that doesn’t rely on scale or spectacle.

Initially used in the 60s and 70s by airline pilots on long-haul flights, GMT watches have today become symbolic.

A Modern Interpretation of an Aviation Icon Few watches are as instantly recognisable as the German Flieger. Originally developed as precision navigation instruments for military pilots during the 1940s, these watches established a design language that continues to influence aviation timepieces today. Founded in Pforzheim in 1925, Laco was one of the original manufacturers entrusted with producing these historic pilot watches. The Augsburg 42 faithfully preserves that heritage while adapting it for contemporary everyday wear. Rather than serving as a museum piece, it offers collectors an accessible way to experience one of mechanical watchmaking's most enduring designs. Inspiration & Design The Augsburg features the classic Type A (Baumuster A) pilot dial, distinguished by its clean arrangement of large Arabic numerals, luminous sword hands and the unmistakable triangle with twin dots at 12 o'clock.

Every element exists for a purpose, giving the Augsburg a timeless character that feels equally at home with casual clothing or everyday office wear. Dial & Case The 42mm stainless steel case captures the commanding presence expected of a traditional Flieger while remaining comfortable enough for daily use. The oversized onion crown pays tribute to the original observation watches, allowing pilots to operate the watch while wearing gloves, while the brushed case finish reinforces its purposeful tool-watch character. Combined with its sapphire crystal and premium leather strap, the Augsburg balances historical authenticity with the durability expected of a modern mechanical watch. Movement Powering the Augsburg 42 is the Laco 2S automatic movement, based on the reliable Miyota 82S0. Selected for its proven dependability and ease of maintenance, it reflects Laco's philosophy of creating robust mechanical watches that are built to be worn every day. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the movement offers owners the opportunity to appreciate the mechanics that drive the watch while delivering dependable performance for years of regular use.
