For maritime historians and collectors, the Pride II wristwatch commemorates the topsail schooner Pride of Baltimore II—the state's star spangled ambassador that sails the world to promote Maryland’s shipbuilding heritage. Our co‑founder Hartwig Balke, an avid sailor, designed the case architecture to echo the precise five‑radius profile of the schooner’s bow and the Towson shield emblem. The watch is assembled and regulated in Towson from Swiss and German components and features a guilloché dial reminiscent of a ship’s deck, heat‑blued hands, and an automatic movement engineered for robust seafaring reliability. Limited production ensures each piece remains a testament to the region’s seafaring culture and the spirit of the Baltimore Clippers.
