Tsao Baltimore

Tsao Baltimore is an American microbrand founded in 2017 by Alan Tsao, designing and assembling watches in Baltimore, Maryland. Every model draws on local history — the Torsk-Diver is named after the WWII submarine USS Torsk, moored as a museum ship in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, and a Francis Scott Key edition used salvaged steel from the collapsed Key Bridge. The brand serves as the official watch partner of the Baltimore Orioles and Maryland Athletics, and has developed its own MD-1 automatic movement assembled locally.
