Since 1830, Baume & Mercier has been designing watches of the highest quality that are endowed with lasting appeal


Since 1830, Baume & Mercier has been designing watches of the highest quality that are endowed with lasting appeal thanks to their classic, timeless esthetic. For 180 years, men's and ladies' timepieces have followed one another in succession – sometimes iconic, sometimes inspired, but always dedicated to excellence and always with the same calling: the creations by the Swiss Maison d'Horlogerie have the ability to fix our milestone moments in life to our memory.

The Hampton collection fully captures the spirit of this magical place – as well as the heritage of Baume & Mercier. In fact, it was a museum piece from the 1940s that served as the basis for the interpretation that gives the 2011 Hampton watches their very distinctive character.


2011 Linea collection

Originally launched in the 1980s, Linea rapidly became an international bestseller. The watch's soft lines, sensual curves and confident luxury epitomizes femininity at the highest level. Its characteristic details, including the renowned bezel with its prominent numerals, make it one of the most easily identifiable of all women's watches.


2011 Capeland collectionBaume & Mercier_334723_2
The inspiration behind the contemporary reinterpretation of this collection is a historic timepiece – a single-push chronograph from 1948. With its “chevé” crystal and domed case back, this watch is a direct reference to the “galet” pocket watches of the early 19th century. Its ergonomic shape, accentuated by the aesthetically symmetric geometry of the top and bottom, is the primary source of inspiration for the design of the Capeland watch.


2011 Classima collection

New York, 7pm. A man is driving across the Brooklyn Bridge. Direction: Long Island, and waiting for him at the end of the road is the tranquility of The Hamptons. He has exchanged his business suit for linen trousers and a cashmere sweater, but he keeps his timeless Classima on his wrist, an indispensable ally in any circumstance. The skyscrapers are already disappearing in the rearview mirror, another world is on the horizon…
