In my mind, if I’m paying >$500 for a microbrand watch it really needs to have its own character to justify the lack of a brand name, because at this price point just having sapphire, a nice movement, and super luminova is no longer an advantage. The Baltic certainly does, the off center small seconds, the miniaturized rotor, great stuff. The Kuoe is… fine, I guess?
