Baume & Mercier – Tradition and Innovation

… is what defines Baume & Mercier. Classics are launched in reinvented new designs and women’s models frequently gain dominance in the focus of the collections. In 2015, the American racing legend Carroll Shelby joined as a partner in the brand and her contribution culminates in a limited edition of the Capeland watches, the Shelby Cobra, which is named after the famous sports car. Founded by two brothers, Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in the Swiss canton of Jurain 1921 the company expanded internationally and acquired numerous precision records under the name “Frères Baume” (brothers Baume). In the roaring 20’s the company came forth in support of the emancipation of women. The launch of a dedicated women’s collection in the 1940’s created a significant stir in the industry about the brand and to this day Baume & Mercier puts great emphasis on femininity. The current collections carry coordinated models for women and men and many offer that special extra detail, like color split dials for men or interchangeable wrap bracelets for women. No matter how versatile and innovative they become, all models proudly represent their heritage, exceptional quality in the traditional watchmaking craft and mechanics.

Baume & Mercier Collections

Classima

The best word to describe the Classima collection is timeless. Two-tone models, stainless steel or 18 k gold, the streamlined shape and Roman numerals are their main features, as well as the date display at the 3 o’clock mark. The line is a showpiece for the brand defining balance and finesse. In 2015 the company launched a revised collection of their classic 39 and 42 mm diameters and added 40 mm models for men. Elegance meets understatement in this line which appeals to both sexes. The Classima collection is available for ladies in 31 and 36.5 mm cases depending on the model of choice. The finish is polished stainless steel, adorned with a diamond-set Bezel or they are bicolored with 18 Carat rose gold.

Baume & Mercier: a Chronology

1830: The foundation for the family venture is laid in Les Bois, a small village in the Swiss Jura region, when the brothers Louis Victor and Célestin Baume opened their comptoir horloger (watch business).

1851: The watchmakers expanded under the name “Baume Brothers” and opened a branch in London. This was followed by an expansion throughout the entire British Empire, including India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Burma. In the late 19th century, Baume & Mercier became a major player in the American watchmaking industry.

1918: Just before the 1920s, William Baume and Paul Mercier merged their businesses and created the brand Baume & Mercier, Genève.
Paul Mercier knew that a company does best, if it lives by its time and has a willingness for change. Hence, during the roaring 20s’, the women’s emancipation movement became the main source of inspiration for the brand.

1940’s: Baume & Mercier launched one of its most successful models: the ladies watch Marquise.

1950’s and 1960’s: The Company launched timeless chronographs with a design concept that focuses on balance. This emphasis is still expressed today by the Greek letter PHI in the Baume & Mercier logo.

1988: When acquired by the Richemont Group in 1988 the brand collection expanded with models such as Hampton and Linea. They prevail today as the successful flagship lines for the company.
