Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette features a 36mm case with vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs, and a vintage roulette-styled dial with multi-sector design. Reviewers note the dial textures create a perception of depth, with contrasting brushed and grained surfaces. The Hangzhou 5000A micro-rotor movement is visually appealing but described by reviewers as feeling rattly and producing a jangly sound when tapped. Overall, reviewers highlight the MR Roulette's unique dial design and finishing, despite some reservations about the micro-rotor movement's sound and feel.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific point.

Baltic Prismic Stone

The Baltic Prismic Stone is widely praised for its unique and striking natural stone dials, with owners and reviewers highlighting the captivating variations found in materials like bloodstone, pietersite, lapis lazuli, and red agate. The watch's 36mm case, often described as thin and well-finished with a combination of stainless steel and titanium, contributes to its refined retro dress watch appeal. Some owners find the small, recessed crown uncomfortable for winding, and the 30-meter water resistance is noted as delicate. Opinions are split on the Milanese bracelet, with some finding it may not articulate well on smaller wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Baltic Prismic Stone a value-packed offering, primarily due to its exceptional and unique stone dials at its price point.

From video reviewers

The unique natural stone dials are a standout feature of the Baltic Prismic Stone. The slim 9mm case, constructed from stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium, is also a notable aspect. However, some buyers may find the price of €1,300 to be a trade-off, considering the watch's Swiss movement and slim profile may not justify the cost compared to competitors.
