This here watch, they call it the Baltic Hermetique Tourer. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just a watch, you know. A good one, though, I reckon. Big and round, kinda like my old kitchen clock. The band, they got different ones. Some brown, some other colors. Like a belt, but for your wrist.
Baltic Hermetique Tourer, What’s the Big Deal?
Well, it tells time. That’s what watches do. This Baltic one, it’s got them hands that go around, show you the hour and the minutes. And the little hand, that’s for the seconds, tickin’ away. This Baltic Hermetique Tourer, it’s like them old-timey watches, but new. Shiny new. Some folks like that. They like things that look old but ain’t got the creaks and groans of old things.
It ain’t got no numbers on it, just them little lines. You gotta know where 12 is, and where 6 is, and then you can figure out the rest. Kinda like my old sundial, but way easier to read in the house.
Where They Make These Baltic Watches?
They say they make these Baltic Hermetique Tourer watches in different places. Some parts in Hong Kong, which is far away, across the big water. The straps, they make in France. Fancy, huh? Like them French pastries, but for your watch. Then the other stuff they got they call accessories, made in Italy. Now this watch, they make it bigger than the others. 41 mm, they say. Sounds big, but you can see it. More for your money. These Baltic Hermetique Tourer, are good for the price.
- Hong Kong – parts for the watch
- France – watch straps
- Italy – other stuff, fancy things
Now, I heard some folks say this Baltic watch, it’s like them vintage watches. Whatever that means. Old-fashioned, I guess. But they make ’em new. So they ain’t got no rust or nothin’. Just shiny and new, but lookin’ old. Like when I put on my Sunday best, tryin’ to look all spiffed up, but everyone knows I’m just old Martha underneath.
Is This Baltic Watch Worth It?
Well, if you need a watch, and you like this kind, then sure. It tells time. It looks nice. Ain’t too heavy. Don’t cost an arm and a leg. This Baltic Hermetique Tourer, it’s a good watch. Better than some of them fancy ones that cost more than my whole house. They got different colors for the face, too. They got a brown one. Looks like the color of dirt after a good rain.
Now, I ain’t no expert on watches. I just know what I like. And this Baltic Hermetique Tourer, it’s alright. It is pretty, though. Shiny. And it’s got that big face, easy to see. Even with my old eyes. Some folks, they like that. They like things that are easy to see, easy to use.
I heard some folks complainin’ that it ain’t got no date on it. You know, like them calendars. But who needs that on a watch? I got a calendar on my wall. And I got my chickens to tell me when it’s a new day. They start crowin’ before the sun’s even up.
This Baltic watch, it’s simple. And sometimes, simple is good. Like a good bowl of soup on a cold day. Or a warm quilt on a winter night. This Baltic Hermetique Tourer is a good watch. They made them other watches before, but smaller.
This Baltic Hermetique Tourer, It’s a Big One
This new one, it’s bigger. For folks who like big watches, I guess. Or maybe for folks with bad eyes, like me. Easier to see them little hands movin’ around.
They say it’s got somethin’ called a “crown.” Sounds fancy. It’s just that little knob you use to wind it up and set the time. Like them old wind-up toys, but for grown-ups. This is just one of the many features this Baltic Hermetique Tourer got. They make good watches, these Baltic people.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a watch, and you like this kind, then go ahead. Get yourself a Baltic Hermetique Tourer. It ain’t gonna break the bank. And it’ll tell you the time, just like it’s supposed to.
Just don’t go expectin’ it to do your chores for you. It ain’t magic. It’s just a watch. A good one, but still just a watch. They say it is vintage inspired, but made new. The Baltic Hermetique Tourer is good for people who want a new watch, that looks old, but is not old.
