Tsao
Baltimore Legacy
Adding yet another intriguing value proposition to the microbrand melting pot stateside, the latest from Maryland-based Tsao Baltimore is, in their own words, an accessible heirloom piece. It certainly has the style credentials down with a dual crown, compressor adjacent look finished with some absolutely stunning sandwich dials, including this royal blue fume number. Each colour is available in steel or bronze, with a GMT or without. That might sound like an overly broad selection except that each is limited to just 75 pieces. Yeah, this is one you’ll want to preorder. tsaobaltimore.com
