A pilot’s chronograph commemorating the Martin M-130 China Clipper — the flying boat built by the Glenn L. Martin Company in Baltimore that opened transpacific commercial flight in 1935. Designed by Hartwig Balke with Patrick Ayoub (Detroit Watch Co.), 100 numbered pieces, assembled and regulated in Maryland. The dial uses three colors to separate functions — yellow for time, turquoise for chronograph, red for activation — a legibility principle drawn from period cockpit instruments.

The manufacture of this timepiece is a complex and sophisticated process. The design combines new, modern elements, latest manufacturing technologies and old traditional craftsmanship. It gives the Martin M-130 its rugged appearance.
An authentic representation of vintage aviation instruments, ensuring optimal legibility with bold Arabic numerals, exaggerated cathedral-style hands, and luminous components. It revives a forgotten design principle of the pilot watch genre by employing distinct colors to delineate the various functions of the watch. Yellow indicates time functions, while turquoise distinguishes the chronograph features. Additionally, red markings facilitate easy identification and activation of the chronograph, improving usability and overall functionality of the instrument. The date window swiftly blends in with the black background at 3:00, and Towson’s shield logo is turquoise-colored to complement the nostalgic palette of the rest of the dial.
