Essence
The Baume & Mercier Baume collection has quite a distinct flavour to it. The Baume collection reminds one of the pocket watch eras with wire lugs and unusually placed crowns. The sleek silhouette of the Baume collection reflects the futuristic approach the brand took with this set of timepieces.
Features
A perfect collection of dress watches, the Baume collection features various case sizes with unique materials. Available in both quartz and automatic movement, the collection features a date window at 6 o’clock. The date window is absent from some limited editions and the timepieces that are equipped with a moon phase. In addition to the date window, these timepieces also feature a small seconds sub-dial. With the moon phase iteration, there is a moon phase sub-dial at the centre featuring two moons.
Limited Editions

The BAUME OCEAN series is made with upcycled PET plastic, a positive step towards conserving the planet.

Another special mention inside the collection is the Baume Skate - Aurélien Giraud Special Edition.
