Baltany’s S4128, a micro-rotor dress watch, has moved from Kickstarter to the brand’s own official site, now available direct in all four of its launch colorways. The 38mm case runs a customized micro-rotor caliber, 38 jewels at 28,800 vph with at least 42 hours of power reserve, factory-regulated in five positions with the date function removed entirely.
The mother-of-pearl dial’s radial guilloché engraving starts from the small-seconds register at 9 o’clock rather than from the dial’s center, and the small-seconds hand is heat-blued rather than painted. The movement also carries blued steel screws, a detail Baltany’s Kickstarter backers unlocked as a funding stretch goal that carried over into the retail version. The campaign ran this past June; Baltany hasn’t published a separate retail price on the current listing.
