Founded in 1830 by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in the Swiss Jura, Baume & Mercier has consistently upheld a legacy of excellence and innovation in watchmaking. The company initially gained recognition for its high-precision timepieces, winning numerous awards at international exhibitions. In 1918, the company partnered with Paul Mercier, giving birth to the Baume & Mercier brand as we know it today. This collaboration further propelled the brand into the luxury watch market, where it has remained a symbol of sophistication and quality.

The Baume & Mercier Riviera collection epitomizes sporty elegance with its distinctive twelve-sided bezel and versatile design. The Riviera watch was launched in 1973 when dress watches were typically made with gold. The avant-garde design using stainless steel was attractive to those looking for a dress watch they could also wear around town. Today, the Riviera has been reimagined for modern watch enthusiasts. Its robust construction, combined with a stylish aesthetic, makes it perfect for both casual and formal occasions. Available in various sizes and materials, including stainless steel and titanium, the Riviera is designed to withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle while maintaining its refined appearance.

Baume & Mercier’s Clifton collection is a tribute to classic watchmaking, featuring refined and elegant timepieces that exude sophistication. The collection includes your choice of a moon phase complication or a date window. The Baume & Mercier Clifton date watches include a COSC-certified movement ensuring a guaranteed level of accuracy in precision between -4 and +6 seconds a day. The Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic sports an impressive 5-day power reserve (120 hours) via the Baumatic movement which can be admired from the exhibition caseback.

Baume & Mercier is dedicated to being genuine and accessible, a philosophy clearly reflected in the Classima collection. This line offers a wide range of styles and complications to suit nearly any budget. For those seeking affordability, Classima quartz watches are available with or without a date window. For those looking for something more sophisticated, the collection includes higher-end models featuring chronograph complications, automatic movements, and premium materials such as pink gold and titanium. Available in various sizes and materials, including leather straps and stainless steel bracelets, the Classima collection provides a versatile and timeless option for both men and women.

The Hampton collection is inspired by the Art Deco movement, characterized by its rectangular case and distinctive design elements. These watches capture the glamour and elegance of the 1920s and 1930s, offering a unique and stylish option for watch enthusiasts. The Hampton collection features a range of models, from elegant two-hand watches to a more intricate design such as the Hampton Dual Time. Each piece in the Hampton collection is a testament to Baume & Mercier’s commitment to creating exceptional timepieces that combine artistic flair with technical precision.
