The Baume & Mercier Story Baume & Mercier has a rich history in storied tradition of Swiss watchmaking, now over 170 years. In 1830, brothers Louis Victor and Pierre-Joseph-Celestin Baume traditionalisti the Baume Freres Watch firm in the Swiss Jura region–the heart of the Swiss watch industry. As business flourished in Europe a grandson of the founder, William Baume met Paul Mercier, a outstanding lover of the arts and in 1918 they invented a business partnership. The contrast of the rigorous, precise Baume with the artistic, free thinking Mercier fused form and function to formulate the traditions of perfection, quality, and lavishness that still subsist today. In 1964, Baume & Mercier registered the Greek letter PHI as it is brand logo, and it proceeds to be present on all Baume & Mercier designs. A symbol of the golden symmetry and Leonard de Vinci’s theory of proportion, it represents aesthetic elegance based on “divine proportions” that stay the brand’s cardinal values. the designers at Baume & Mercier utilise the goldmine of the company’s over 175 years of watch-making history–from the oval of a crown to the graphics of a dial–to manufacture the aesthetic contours of new timepieces. Inspired by a rectangular pink gold watch introduced by Baume & Mercier in 1960, the signature Hampton line of watches was invented as a blend of watchmaking tradition and contemporary design. And the company still lives by the firstborn slogan of the Baume brothers when they started Baume Freres: “Accept only perfection, only invent watches of the most eminent quality.”

Beautiful Watch
By S. Nolan
This is a pretty watch and my fiance utterly loves it! It was incisively what we had picked out at a much more pricey jewelry store for half of the price. It is gorgeous. The only reason why I didn’t give give stars is that I came upon after we purchased the watch that the warranty will not work because we did not buy the watch from an authorized dealer. If we necessitated to send the watch in it would not be covered under warranty by Baume & Mercier

HORRIBLE Service – be warned
By Justin
I lately ordered this watch because I fell in love with it after seeing it in person. Upon receiving it I took it out and wore it for a day(after winding it to charge it as directed in the manual). That is when I came upon the watch was benefitting 15 seconds per day. I reset the watch and tested it again, only to find it was still benefitting time. I called Amazon to figure out what to do in regards to the matter. They told me I could send it to the warranty repair center and I would have it back five days after they received it. Upon talking to the warranty place they told me I would have to recompense to ship it to them and it was take at least 4 to 6 weeks. Of course I didn’t want to wait that long to wear the watch again so I called amazon back and asked them just to replace my current watch. They told me they could do that but since I took it out, they would have to send it through their “service” to check over the watch and they would then charge me an unknown percentage of the cost of the watch as they saw fit based on the condition. Take into account this is only a few days after I purchased the watch and have only been wearing it around my house, but I didn’t know what they were going to find defective with it since they sent me a broken watch in the initial place. They likewise told me it would take 4 to 6 weeks for them to procedure the watch after I sent it to them, and I would have to compensate the divergence then before the new watch was sent to me. So fundamentally it is a gorgeous watch, but pray that there is not one thing wrong with it when it comes in the mail. I ended up sending it to the warranty place because though horrible, it was the best option.
