I suppose its not uncommon around that period for companies to share movements. It must have been quite an undertaking for some brands to engineer and produce a movement
In the 6062?! That is my all time favourite watch!
Both have aperture wheel day/months and a radial date. Plus the moonphase counter. I need to investigate this….!
The Microbrand sector is geared towards the 'enthusiasts'. Those that do well seem to find those little niches in the market which have been ignored/neglected/unidentified by the bigger watch companies. And even those that produce "a 40mm dive/field watch in steel" have found a way to compete (normally in price). Baltic have that 'perfect combination' of model collection, quality, design, price and marketing/press coverage at a time when the watch market was booming imo
The results certainly point towards Baltic winning but maybe they’ve had ‘favourable’ matchups. That being said, I think it can be considered a suprise that they’ve not won the tournament thus far. I do regard them among the ‘poster childs’ of the microbrand movement
@DavidKos Thank You for being kind and I appreciate the sentiment but I think you may have over-indulged on the praise! My ego is inflated enough!
