Baltic x Peter Auto Tricompax Special Edition - Hands-On, Price
From what used to be a young microbrand launched on Kickstarter, Baltic has now become a far more established brand, creating more mature models with serious design… and often a well-controlled vintage twist. For long, watches by Baltic have been powered by Asian movements (to the exception of the GMT) but now comes something that clearly plays in a different league; a hand-wound chronograph with Swiss movement, made together with a world-renowned?historic motor racing promoter, with a cool, vintage-inspired design and paired with equally cool racing stopwatches… This is the new Baltic x Peter Auto Tricompax Special Edition and we tell you all about it.?Behind Baltic is a young entrepreneur named Etienne Malec, the son of a watch collector who inherited his father’s collection.

We may love for its serious and highly qualitative creations, Tudor ( ’s sister company) created some interesting, affordable, very well finished and mainly, really cool watches recently – such as the Heritage Black Bay Blue, the Heritage Ranger or the Heritage Chrono. Thus, there was no reason for us not to try to predict what could be the Tudor 2015 new models, the watches that Tudor could introduce at Baselworld 2015. We did it for this year, we did it for Tudor last year, and we are doing?it again now.Last year, just like we did for and Omega, we tried to guess the watches that Tudor could introduce at the Basel watch fair. We imagined a Black Bay with a black bezel and dial and we also imagined a Pelagos with blue dial and bezel. Tudor came at Baselworld with the?Heritage Black Bay equipped with a superb midnight blue bezel insert and a cleaner dial. We had?the right colour, we had the right watc

Here’s the last give-away for the year, the last 10th anniversary give-away and we’re super happy that Montblanc generously volunteered to customize 10 watch pouches for this rather unique give-away. These beautiful leather watch pouches are not for sale in Montblanc boutiques, and cannot be bought anywhere. And now there are ten embossed with the Monochrome logo, and they are for you.?These watch pouches, or travel watch rolls, for two watches are made of so-called sartorial' leather. You can strap two of your watches each around one of two cushions inside, and close the flap with a press stug with Montblanc logo. Earlier this year, in June, we already gave away one of these, and the number of responses was A) very high and B) so enthusiastic, that we decided to ask Montblanc once again… and they proposed to make ten pieces embossed with the Monochrome logo. In terms of quality and make, these pouches are absolutely great. Personally I c
