History

Baltic was founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec in France, born from a Kickstarter campaign that raised over €500,000. Inspired by his father's vintage watch collection, Malec created timepieces with retro-French aesthetics at accessible prices — sector dials, domed crystals, warm color palettes. The brand graduated from crowdfunding darling to respected independent, and the Worldtimer represents an ambitious step into complication territory while maintaining the vintage charm that built their loyal following.
