Teddy Baldassarre’s Guide: Santurce Featured Among the Best Microbrands

We are thrilled to announce that Santurce has been officially included in the ultimate "Microbrand Watches: The Complete Guide" by world-renowned watch expert Teddy Baldassarre.

Being recognized in a comprehensive industry guide of this scale is a massive milestone for us. It places our Puerto Rico-based brand side-by-side with some of the most respected independent watchmakers in the world, validating our dedication to design, heritage, and high-grade specifications.

"Founded by husband and wife duo José and Anita Salas, the Puerto Rico-based Santurce has quickly become a brand to watch in the microbrand space. Another story of watch lovers who turned their passion into their own brand, the Picua and Tiburon divers have proven to be fan-favorites among Santurce's current catalog."

What makes our inclusion in this global guide so significant:

• A Brand to Watch: Baldassarre highlights our rapid growth and distinct identity in the competitive independent watchmaking landscape.
• Fan-Favorite Divers: The guide specifically commends the Picúa and Tiburón, celebrating how they perfectly balance mid-century nostalgia with contemporary dial finishes.
• Uncompromised Value: The feature reinforces our commitment to offering premium mechanics—like the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-B automatic movement and 300m water resistance—at an unbeatable value under $1,000.

This feature is a testament to the incredible journey we've shared with our community. From a local passion to an internationally recognized microbrand, we remain committed to crafting timepieces that tell a genuine story of authenticity and design.
