One of the hottest trends in the highfalutin world of luxury watches is the use of stone dials. As their name suggests, these are dials made from slabs of alluring real stones like malachite or tiger eye that add a touch of natural beauty to a watch.
Typically, such dials are reserved for expensive high-end watches from brands like Rolex and Audemars Piguet, but once in a while, a more affordable brand will get in on the action.
That’s exactly what’s happened with French microbrand Baltic, which has just launched three new limited-edition versions of its Prismic dress watch with exotic natural stone dials.

Baltic’s fancy new watches were created to celebrate the opening of the eight-year-old brand’s third showroom in New York earlier this summer. The small boutique is the French company’s first in the U.S. and joins its Paris and London showrooms in Baltic’s trio of global locations where fans of the online brand can get hands-on with its watches.
The three new Prismic Stone watches each feature a real stone dial that’s meant to represent the cities that play host to Baltic.
