William Baume collection
With an exceptional collection, Baume & Mercier pays tribute to the horological genius of William Baume, the contemporary brand father, who helped construct the international reputation of one of Switzerland’s oldest watchmaking houses.
William Baume, heir to the «Frères Baume» manufacture, founded by his grandfather in 1830, brought new dynamics and international status to the family enterprise through the creation of a partnership in 1918 with Paul Mercier, a charismatic figurehead of the day.
In an era of evolution and change, marked by unprecedented technical and artistic creativity, together they founded the Baume & Mercier brand in Geneva in 1920, thus uniting their totally complementary competences: William Baume, the rigorous and avant-garde watchmaker and Paul Mercier, the cosmopolitan aesthete and businessman.
The William Baume Collection perfectly illustrates Baume & Mercier’s founding philosophy and know-how. By doting its emblematic Hampton and Classima Executives watch models with traditional watchmaking complication movements, Baume & Mercier renews its ties with its origins and honors the heritage of William Baume: horological craftsmanship.
The William Baume Collection: four exclusive, limited edition pieces (177 pieces for the gold timepieces and 1830 pieces for the steel versions) for traditional watchmaking enthusiasts.
