A PARISIAN INCIDENT 

People are tied together, not brands. There is seemingly no reason for entities like the Baltic and SpaceOne to collaborate.

Two philosophies are at odds. Baltic makes vintage-inspired watches, playing with traditional watchmaking’s codes and modern construction.

On the opposite side, SpaceOne offers spaceshi-looking watches with a deconstructed approach to time reading. One blends heritage with precision. The other redesigns tomorrow for fun. Yet, the two are tied together by friendship.

Foundation was laid in 2021 in Baltic’s headquarters. French Watchmakers were invited to discover the brand’s new office and share a moment together.

 Théo Auffret and Guillaume Laidet met on that occasion, making it the start of their friendship and what would become SpaceOne. Five years later, that bond gave life to a watch, the Seconde Majeure. 

DESTRUCTURED DISPLAY 

The Seconde Majeure takes a kinematic approach to time reading. Time is decentralized, traditional hands make way for sapphire discs, all in favor of an exclusive complication module.

Hours are read at 12 o’clock and minutes at 6 o’clock, guided by an arrow ending crosshair. The forward-looking typography stamped on the discs brings contrast to the otherwise classic assembly.

A large seconds hand glides above, bringing motion to the seemingly still composition and giving its name to the watch: Seconde Majeure. 

VERTICALITY: TYING FORM TO FUNCTION

 

Offering an ingenious architecture, the Seconde Majeure is designed around its complication. The jumping-hour module - developed by Théo Auffret - relies on three visible components.

A Central Control Wheel lies beneath the minute disc. It makes a full rotation in 60 minutes. When it completes a full rotation, it engages with the Star Wheel. The later has 12 teeth, corresponding to the 12 hours displayed on the disc attached above.

The Jumper Spring, visible to the left, keeps pressure on the Star Wheel, maintaining it centered. It is also responsible for the “jump” of the hour disc. Pressure builds when the Star Wheel begins its rotation.

The hour jumps when the spring settles back between the next teeth. The dial ties the face together. Cut from a single piece of maillechort, it is both decorative and essential. The plate supports the module and allows the watch to function.

EXCLUSIVE FINISHING

The watch is available with two different dial finishes: Vertical brushed or “Charbonné”.

This signature technique is performed by expert watchmakers in Théo Auffret’s atelier. Done exclusively by hand, it requires up to three hours of work, giving each watch a truly unique character.

A TIMELESS CASE

Housing a SpaceOne module in a Baltic case would have been too easy. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

We aimed at something new, something none of us would have made without the other. The result is an entirely new design. Inspired by independent watchmaking, the Seconde Majeure is fitted with a 38.5mm case.

The Mid-case, lugs, and case back are brushed with contrast provided by a polished concave bezel. This shape and finish are mirrored on the lugs. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Arched and low-hanging, the lugs help the watch to sit naturally on the wrist. The feeling is complemented by a strap crafted by Delugs.

Made from beige Alcantara® and featuring curved spring bars, it hugs both the wrist and the case.

LIMITED IN TIME

The Seconde Majeure will be available for pre-order for from May 12th to May 17th. Each watch is individually numbered on the case back.

Production will be limited by the number of orders placed during these six days.

BALTIC – EXPERIMENTS Premier Quantieme Perpetuel Only Watch 2023

BALTIC – EXPERIMENTS Premier Quantième Perpétuel Steel / Titanium Only Watch 2023

 A 2ND PARTICIPATION

We are delighted and honored to be participating for the second time in the Only Watch charity auction to be held on November 5th, 2023 in Geneva. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

An event that unites the watch industry around a common goal: to raise awareness and funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy

UNDER ANOTHER NAME

On this occasion, we are pleased to present our new fine watchmaking studio, Baltic Experiments, with this unique Premier Quantième Perpétuel. Over the past two years, we've been pushing our own boundaries by doing what previously seemed impossible: developing our own Perpetual Calendar module. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This project finally became a reality thanks to the collaboration with the talented watchmakers of Maclef, founded by Emmanuel Bouchet.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR

We aimed to establish a timeless, easily legible method of presenting all the essential elements of a Perpetual Calendar. The meticulously balanced dial features three sub-registers to indicate the day of the week, month, leap year and moon phase, accompanied by a continuous seconds hand. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The day of the month is indicated by the third main hand and is positioned towards the outer edge of the watch, harmoniously completing the overall aesthetic.

 ANIMATED BY A UNIQUE MOVEMENT

The heart of the Premier Quantième Perpétuel is the result of over two years of research and development in collaboration with the experienced watchmakers of the Maclef company. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The in-house module, enabling the perpetual calendar to function, is implemented in a Vaucher 5401 micro-rotor movement whose bridges have been reworked.

AN ULTRA-SLIM 9.8 mm CASE

For two years, we pushed our own boundaries by achieving something we never thought possible: developing our own Perpetual Calendar.

This project became possible thanks to the collaboration with the talented watchmakers of Maclef, founded by Emmanuel Bouchet. We aimed to establish a timeless and easily readable way of presenting all the essential elements of a Perpetual Calendar.

The case of the Premier Quantième Perpétuel is made of stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium. It is 37mm in diameter, 44mm lug to lug and has a slim, elegant 9.8mm profile. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The meticulously balanced dial incorporates three distinct sub-registers to indicate the days, month, leap year, and a moon-phase in silicium material, with a continuous second hand at 6 o’clock. The prominent pointer date harmoniously complements the overall aesthetic, positioned towards the outer edge of the watch.

Starting from a blank page, this modular perpetual calendar was 100% reinterpreted and run by the ultra-thin Vaucher 5401 micro-rotor movement. The idea was to make the passage of days to the end of the month as quick as possible. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Therefore, moving the date functions like a sonnerie system. The date will change from the 28th, 29th, 30th to the 1st of the following month in around 1 to 4 seconds.

BALTIC – Pulsometer Chronograph Monopusher for Only Watch 2021

 

BALTIC – CLASSIC Pulsometer Chronograph Monopusher - Unique Piece for ONLY WATCH 2021

 ONLY WATCH UNIQUE MODEL

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

BALTIC is happy to join the ONLY WATCH auction to help fighting against Duchenne Muscular dystrophy. As an analogy we have created a unique Monopusher Pulsometer chronograph using an old 1940’s Venus 150 monopusher movement. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This scale is used in conjunction with the watch’s chronograph complication to provide medical information. This pulsometer scale is calibrated for 30 heartbeats (or pulsations). Start the chronograph timer and count the beats until you get to 30 pulsations. Stop the chrono and you will read the heart rate in beats per minute.

VENUS 150  
Monopusher Pulsometer

Pulsations are at the heart of any living entities: inside this chronograph beats an old Venus from 1940’s which has been doing its job for more than 80 years. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This monopusher caliber has been entirely renewed in Switzerland to run smoothly these thin gold leafs hands around a beautiful glossy black dial. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

As an evocation to the 40’s, we have designed a profound black dial on which we’ve applied a set of Breguet indexes that gives superb reflections and reliefs.Only one marking is appearing on the dial : « 1/1 ». A simple and powerful mention that explains everything ONLY WATCH is about.

SOUL OF THE  PAST

Prototype unique case and applied Breguet indexes dial, 40’s Venus 150 monopusher renewed in Switerland.

The soul of the paster mixed into a unique new timepice for only watch.

TEAM WORK

We would like to warmly thank all the people who helped us on this amazing project. We are very pleased to participate and involve a young passionate horology generation. Mickael, Charles, Jas, Rémy, Julien and Nicolas have done a wonderful job and brought their expertise.
