Baltic is a watch brand known for its vintage-inspired designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The brand combines classic aesthetics with modern watchmaking techniques to create timepieces that appeal to both enthusiasts and collectors.


Baltic is a French independent watch brand founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec, based in Paris. The brand produces vintage-inspired watches at accessible price points, drawing design cues from mid-20th century Swiss sports and dress watches. Baltic has become one of the most respected new-generation independent brands, praised for excellent value — delivering attractive design, quality finishing, and reliable Swiss movements at prices typically well under €1,000.
The HMS 001 is Baltic's foundational piece — a panda-dial chronograph inspired by vintage racing chronographs. The Aquascaphe is a vintage-styled dive watch with exceptional finishing for its price point. The Bicompax is a dual-zone chronograph with a distinctive rectangular register layout. The MR01 is a slimmer, more dressy option. All share Baltic's signature approach: thoughtful vintage references executed with contemporary quality and consistency.
Baltic uses established Swiss and Japanese movements — primarily ETA, Miyota, and Sellita calibres — for their watches. This is standard practice for independent brands at their price tier. The distinction Baltic has made is in how they case those movements: with quality cases, thoughtful dial printing, applied indices where appropriate, and careful finishing at price points where many competitors cut corners. Their supply chain is centred on Swiss and French suppliers wherever possible.
