I believe it's a combination of a few variables including Baltic pushing their brand out there by sending many watch releases out for review for the sake of marketing. Therefore, more recent brand recognition than NG.
On top of that Baltic watches are much cheaper and more accessible than NG. Cheaper watches are more associated with the micro brand nomenclature. And it's also hard to just call NG a micro brand since they originated nearly 100 years! Tough to call a 100 year brand a micro brand.
I believe Baltic are also part of the force driving watch sizes down to more classic sizes while giving their designs a quasi nostalgic/original appeal.
Great movie analogy nonetheless.
That's a good question. I believe they don't consider CW to be a micro brand anymore, and haven't for some time. And to be fair, they probably would've wiped the floor with this competition. But what do I know, I thought for sure Zelos would wipe the floor with Baltic.
I don't get SU. I guess they just aren't for me. I'm all for fun dial watches but they're too extreme, in a fruity way.
No judgement here tho, it is 2024 after all.
It's a genera accuracy l but they should be fairly accurate for the price. I too was worried. Lot of variables involved. So far mine is 👌
I didn't even notice the sunray description but the concave diffraction of light through the crystal to matte dial is more significant than most I own (hard to capture). The watches I adore most have a similar understated affect. This takes the proverbial cake
Those were also on my list till the random day I scrolled onto CW and saw this 🤤. It's a white ivory dial (so matte)?
Also I think it's too early to tell performance but it's with a second or so so I can't complain. I wouldn't go off just my example, they state +-20
