BAIKAL — the Russian spirit, told in Swiss time
POLJOT INTERNATIONAL BAIKAL is a collection dedicated to one of Russia's most striking natural treasures — Lake Baikal. The chronographs in the series carry a classic, legible design paired with a hand-wound movement — a choice that underscores respect for traditional watchmaking over automatic solutions. The result is a watch with character, suited to collectors who value authenticity over mass production.
Which BAIKAL for whom
