Baltic Prismic Stone Dial

In the realm of watchmaking, where precision and artistry intertwine, Baltic has carved a niche for itself by blending vintage-inspired designs with contemporary flair. The brand's latest offering, the Prismic Stone limited edition, is a testament to their commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. With three unique models, each featuring a natural stone dial inspired by the vibrant cities of New York, London, and Paris, the Prismic Stone collection is a celebration of the beauty found in both the natural world and the world of horology.

Before we delve into the intricacies of the Prismic Stone watches, let's take a brief look at Baltic's journey. Founded in 2017, Baltic quickly gained recognition for its meticulously crafted timepieces that pay homage to the golden age of watchmaking. Their designs often draw inspiration from vintage watches, capturing the essence of classic elegance while incorporating modern sensibilities. Baltic's commitment to quality and affordability has resonated with watch enthusiasts worldwide, solidifying their position as a rising star in the industry.



The Prismic collection, to which the Stone edition belongs, is a prime example of Baltic's design philosophy. With its 36mm case and graceful lines, the Prismic exudes a timeless charm reminiscent of vintage "cocktail" watches. The case itself is a marvel of engineering, composed of five distinct parts, each showcasing specific finishes and materials. The bezel, lugs, and caseback are crafted from stainless steel, while the main case body is made of Grade 5 titanium, a lightweight and durable material known for its hypoallergenic properties.

The bezel, with its polished upper part and circular-brushed lower part, adds a subtle yet sophisticated touch to the watch's overall aesthetic. The lugs, polished on top and horizontally brushed on the sides, further enhance the Prismic's refined appearance. The double-dome sapphire crystal, with its internal anti-reflective coating, ensures optimal clarity and scratch resistance.

At the heart of the Prismic beats the ETA Peseux 7001 caliber, a hand-wound mechanical movement renowned for its reliability and robustness. This Swiss-made movement, with its 42-hour power reserve, is a testament to Baltic's dedication to quality. The sapphire caseback offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of this meticulously decorated caliber, featuring diamond-polished bevels, Côtes de Genève on the bridges, and blued screws.



Thanks to its ultra-thin movement, the Prismic boasts a remarkably slender profile of just 9.2mm (7.4mm without the crystal). This svelte design not only enhances the watch's aesthetic appeal but also ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist.

The Prismic Stone edition is available with two strap options: a classic Italian calf leather strap or a brushed, braided stainless steel mesh bracelet. The mesh bracelet, with its fine and supple construction, drapes effortlessly around the wrist, offering both comfort and style. Its sliding clasp allows for easy adjustment, while the quick-release system makes swapping straps a breeze.

Now, let's turn our attention to the stars of the show: the natural stone dials. Baltic has chosen three unique stones, each representing the spirit of a different city: Green Jade for New York, Red Agate for London, and Lapis Lazuli for Paris.

Green Jade: The Vibrant Spirit of New York - The Green Jade dial, with its rich, verdant hue, evokes the energy and dynamism of the Big Apple. Jade has been revered for centuries for its beauty and is often associated with prosperity and good fortune. Its intricate patterns, formed over thousands of years, make each dial a unique work of art.



Red Agate: The Dynamism of London - The Red Agate dial, with its fiery tones, captures the pulse of London, a city that seamlessly blends history and modernity. Agate is known for its grounding and protective properties, and its vibrant colors add a touch of boldness to the Prismic's design.

Lapis Lazuli: The Timeless Elegance of Paris - The Lapis Lazuli dial, with its Deep Blue color and shimmering gold flecks, embodies the sophistication and refinement of the City of Lights. Lapis Lazuli has been prized since antiquity for its beauty and is often associated with wisdom and truth. Its celestial appearance adds a touch of mystique to the Prismic.

The Prismic Stone edition is limited to 200 pieces per model, ensuring its exclusivity and collectability. Each watch is individually numbered, making it a truly unique timepiece.

The natural stone dials are undoubtedly the showstoppers of the Prismic Stone collection. Each dial is a unique canvas, shaped by thousands of years of geological processes. The intricate patterns and variations in color and texture create a sense of depth and visual intrigue that is simply mesmerizing.



The dials are complemented by brushed dauphine hands with polished chamfers, a classic design element that adds a touch of refinement. The polished and applied hour markers further enhance the watch's legibility and contribute to its overall sense of luxury.

A small seconds sub-counter, positioned at 6 o'clock, adds a touch of functionality without disrupting the dial's clean aesthetic. The sub-counter is delicately affixed to the stone dial and features a polished dauphine hand, creating a subtle yet sophisticated detail.

The Prismic's 36mm case is a testament to Baltic's commitment to quality and precision. The combination of stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium not only creates a visually striking contrast but also ensures durability and longevity.

The case's multi-part construction allows for a variety of finishes, further highlighting the attention to detail. The polished bezel and lugs contrast beautifully with the satin-finished titanium case, while the circular brushing on the lower part of the bezel adds a subtle texture that catches the light in a unique way.

The caseback, secured with six screws, features a sapphire crystal that provides a clear view of the Peseux 7001 movement. The movement itself is a work of art, with its meticulously decorated bridges, blued screws, and Côtes de Genève finishing.



Whether you choose the Italian calf leather strap or the stainless steel mesh bracelet, the Prismic Stone is designed to be a comfortable and versatile companion for any occasion. The leather strap, with its supple texture and hand-stitched detailing, adds a touch of classic elegance. The mesh bracelet, on the other hand, offers a more contemporary feel and is perfect for those who prefer a sportier look.

The Baltic Prismic Stone limited edition is priced at €1250 (excluding VAT) for the leather strap version and €1310 (excluding VAT) for the mesh bracelet version. The watches will be available exclusively from Baltic's showrooms in New York, London, and Paris, as well as through their website.
