Their early range of men’s watches are regarded as something as a legend and are considered a true hallmark of tradition, artistry and quality in the present times.
This premier brand started creating superior quality men’s watches as far back as the 1830s. The company was founded by Louis Victor and Pierre-Joseph-Celestin Baume and was set up in the Swiss Jura Mountainsof Les Bois Village under the trade name of "Freres Baume". From these humble beginnings, the brand developed into a family legacy and gradually started spreading its business to England and very soon across most parts of Europe. Within a few years they also launched a diverse collection of men’s Baume & Mercier watches under the names of Waterloo, Diviko and Sirdar in New Zealand and Australia.
The 1880s witnessed a marked change in the style of watches as the second generation of the family introduced some pioneering and modern touches to the conventional designs. The year 1918 was another major turning point in the history of this already famous watch making company. This is when an agreement was signed between William Baume and the talented watchmaker Paul Mercier which led to the formation of the distinguished Baume & Mercier Company.With more than a century’s experience and accomplishments in watch making the brand has never been more successful and continues to appeal and awe today’s watch lovers and fashion enthusiasts.
