Balmer watches are about timelessness, if there can be such a thing. The first time you hold the Balmer Stellar, you’ll notice the stars and the crescent moon and forget about the time of day. With practice, reality will set back in more quickly when you notice the time as well as a little piece of heaven. The date is ever-present, gazing through a window at the 3 o’clock position. A subtle concave sphere signifies noon and midnight like the North Star, so
central and easy to find.
Though infinitely refined, the Balmer Stellar comes to us very well grounded with a sapphire crystal front. The same can be said for the back, allowing exhibition of the Mechanical, Automatic, 25 Jewel ETA Movement. Subtle flourishes like delicate etchings on the side casing shouldn’t be lost on the discerning eye. One should also standup and congratulate all creatures great and small for the implementation of stainless steel lug screws, rather than spring-pins, to attach the bracelet to the case.
As the universe will soon learn, all Balmer watches are Swiss-made, and also thank them for such a thing as time as these devices make us aware of this illusive linear habitation that remains otherwise immeasurable.
