Baume & Mercier
Baume & Mercier is a Swiss luxury watch brand renowned for its long history dating back to 1830. Founded by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in the small village of Les Bois in the Swiss Jura Mountains, the brand was built on a vision of creating beautifully crafted timepieces with exceptional workmanship and timeless elegance.
Baume & Mercier became known for producing high-quality watches, and by the late 19th century, the brand began expanding its operations internationally. It participated in numerous international exhibitions and earned prestigious awards for its precise and innovative watch designs, establishing Baume & Mercier as a symbol of excellence in watchmaking.
Over the years, Baume & Mercier has celebrated many milestones. In 1965, the brand introduced the iconic Riviera watch, featuring a distinctive design with a stainless-steel bracelet inspired by yacht chains. The model quickly became a classic and holds a special place in the brand’s heritage.
In the 1980s, Baume & Mercier expanded its offerings by launching watches for both men and women, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The brand continues to innovate by incorporating new technologies and materials into its watch collections, while remaining true to its tradition of refined Swiss craftsmanship.
