Baume et Mercier
About the brand
Baume & Mercier has been developing its expertise for 190 years. This expertise is based on the principle of manufacture, meaning every stage in the creation of a timepiece is controlled in-house, as is the assembly of its various components. This choice reflects the Maison’s strong principles and is a guarantee of the highest quality. This tradition of excellence at Baume & Mercier is based on the design and development of its products at the Maison's headquarters in Geneva, and on the manufacture process carried out at its manufacture in the Swiss Jura, in Les Brenets. This means that watch production is centralized in Switzerland. Baume & Mercier attracts the best talents to ensure it achieves the ultimate quality and respect for tradition; this has been the Maison’s strength since it was founded.
Each of our watches is a result of the passion of our master watchmakers and a desire to innovate, which is reflected in thousands of sketches, hundreds of hours of modeling, and years of development. The skill of our design studio lies in finding the balance between artistic creativity and technical possibilities, which is the responsibility of our development engineers.
We are an official retailer of the Baume et Mercier brand, which has decisive advantages for you as a customer in terms of security, warranty and after-sales service when purchasing online.

Collections
Riviera
The watches in the Riviera collection have a distinctive style and are between the avant-garde design of the 1970s and the classic, sporty watch style of today. More than any other collection, the Riviera demonstrates Baume & Mercier's expertise in the field of shaped watches. The uncompromising creative approach and the confidently relaxed appearance, both essential stylistic elements of the Maison, are fondly remembered by all lovers of the Riviera.
Clifton
The Baume et Mercier Clifton watches symbolise the Swiss watchmaking tradition of Baume et Mercier. They express an elegant, urban spirit and are both modern and iconic. The Clifton collection impresses with manual or automatic winding models. They are equipped with mechanical movements and appeal to discerning men who are looking for a classic yet modern timepiece.
Baumatic
The Baumatic manufacture movement combines subtle elegance with technical reliability. It is the indispensable companion of aesthetic enthusiasts with original tastes, who are constantly looking for the best performance and innovation. The movement is used across all collections and impresses with a power reserve of up to 120 hours, extreme precision (-4/+6 seconds/day for the COSC-certified models) and absolute reliability. These remarkable characteristics will impress all lovers of high-end watchmaking.
Hampton
Inspired by the watches of the 1940s and clearly different from the usual conventions, the design of the Hampton models exudes a natural appeal. Often imitated but never equalled, the austere form of taut lines softened by soft curves reveals its timeless character day after day. This is also confirmed by the Hampton collection, an integral part of Baume & Mercier's legacy, which comes directly from a historic model in the company's museum and dates back to the Art Deco era.
Classima
Paradoxically, slim watches do not only encourage watchmakers to give shape to their expertise, they also give their owners the opportunity to prove themselves as a noble and cultural spirit. Throughout its history, the Baume & Mercier brand has produced numerous slim watches. The ultra-thin white gold watch with a micro-rotor automatic movement, first introduced in 1965, is still an excellent example of this preference. As an example of a classic watch of ultimate balance, this model, which is kept in the Baume & Mercier Museum, served as the inspiration for the Classima collection, whose success it established.
