Baltic Rally Timer Tour Auto 2026
The Tour de France Automobile first ran in 1899, and the mechanical instruments used to time it now look much the same as they did over a hundred years ago. As the Tour Auto's official timekeeper, Baltic has released a two-piece dash-mounted set: a flyback stopwatch and a dash clock, both housed in 60mm brushed and polished stainless steel cases with matte light blue dials and domed Hesalite crystals. The stopwatch runs a hand-wound Hanhart Calibre 122 with a flyback function, 6 hours of power reserve, a large lumed central hand, and a sub-dial for timing events up to 30 minutes. The clock runs a hand-wound Enloong 6497 with 42 hours of power reserve, luminous hour and minute hands, and a small seconds counter at 6 o'clock. Both mount to the dash via an included brushed steel plaque, sitting as naturally on the wood-and-chrome interior of a Jaguar E-Type as they do in a modern car. Limited to 300 sets, never to be reproduced.
