Baume et Mercier bracelet

Baume et Mercier was founded in 1830 by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in Les Bois, Switzerland. The company gained a strong reputation for precision timepieces and expanded internationally under the motto “Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality.” In 1918, Paul Mercier joined forces with William Baume, forming Baume & Mercier in Geneva. The brand became known for elegant dress watches and was one of the first to embrace wristwatches for women. Now part of the Richemont Group, Baume & Mercier continues to offer refined, accessible Swiss luxury with collections like the Clifton, Hampton, and Riviera.
