Why customers love Baume & Mercier?

Here is my latest arrival in the collection. A pretty black Baume et Mercier Clifton, with its alligator strap. Of respectable dimensions (45mm), I find it very elegant and very classy. Inside it is classic: a SW200 I like to wear it, it is discreet enough to only attract the attention of amateurs. I can't wait for its strap to be made to my wrist (the joys of a new alligator strap)... For me it is a success.

Here is a vintage automatic watch from the BAUME & MERCIER brand from 1965, reference model Skin diver MLB, the caliber of the watch seems to be the following: AS 1902/03 which was often used by several diving brands of the same size in the 60s/70s. The numbers on the dial stand out with a nice patina as does the background of the anthracite black dial. It has a diameter of 35 mm excluding the crown, the glass is made of plexiglass, the steel bracelet is not original. It would deserve a nice suede or classic diving bracelet.

I don't like Roman numerals, I'm not very sporty chic, I'm more of a dateless type. But I often walked past the shop windows in front of this watch with a blah, but I still had to look at it. then one day for my birthday, at the insistence of a saleswoman I put it on my wrist. And there! I go from a blah in the shop window to a Whouaaa on my wrist. a beautiful finesse for this sporty chic, my gaze drowned in this dial of a deep sunny blue, on these small wavelets. Applied indexes with these two Roman numerals which finally bring a very beautiful balance to this dial. that day, I tried after, all the watches which caught my eye and I had only one thing in my head, this Riviera.

Hello everyone, Here is my very first automatic watch! It is with this magnificent timepiece that my passion for watches began. Indeed with this Baume&Mercier we cannot do otherwise so much it is fine, elegant, timeless, chic with its own visual identity without mentioning the pleasure we feel when wearing it. I let you discover in pictures this nugget of Swiss quality.

The watch has been in the family for 23 years. Bought in 2000, worn for about 7 years, it slept for almost 15 years, before I took it back in January 2023. This watch, whose movement has not been serviced since 2004, still runs with precision close to the original. I wear it every day, the power reserve is between 24 and 48 hours. The original crocodile leather remains magnificent, although shiny with time. Its white dial combined with its steel case and brown leather, make this watch a model that is both timeless and elegant. It can be worn on any occasion and in any style. I highly recommend it, because it can be found second-hand in automatic at rather affordable prices (500-1500 €).

I absolutely love this watch! Of all my watches (I'm lucky enough to have several) this is the one I wear almost every day. It has a beautiful shiny brown back. The case is complemented by a leather strap in a similar shade (I need to replace this strap, which is damaged, as I've been wearing it for over 25 years). I love the rounded shape of the top of the rectangle. Both masculine and very aesthetic. My wife gifted it to me at the start of our wedding. I never wear it at night. Most of the time I don't wear it on time. And I set the date even less. Because I don't set it every morning. My pleasure is just to look at it (for its beauty, not to read the time or date) :-) Next step: find a new bracelet that looks like the original one.

Very happy with this classima that never leaves me and spends its decade. Combining classic Roman numerals and a balance wheel visible on the dial, dressed with blued steel leaf-shaped hands, it remains modern and attractive. On a leather or nylon strap, it adapts to everything and will continue to accompany me for many years. I wear it in all ways except for sport of course.

Despite the years I find that this watch keeps its elegance. I wore it to my wedding, it is full of memories. It knows how to be discreet under a shirt and complements a jacket very well. For me it is the timeless and sober watch. Comfortable on the wrist it is the type of watch that is easily forgotten.

This first automatic watch was given to me by my partner. I already liked watches quite a bit but I didn't know the world of watchmaking with watches with movements. It was a real discovery and I gradually became interested in it to become a passion. I still wear this watch with the same pleasure and never tire of appreciating its magnificent dial.

Gift from my fiancée, I wore this watch at our wedding. Beyond the emotion and memories, I still find it elegant, sober, contemporary. I often had compliments and its size is perfect to wear with a suit without having discomfort with the shirt cuffs.
