The History
While officially registered in 1830 (making Baume & Mercier the seventh-oldest name in Swiss watchmaking) the “Seigneurs de Baume” of the Jura mountains date back to the Middle Ages, when Messrs Paul and Jean Baume gave local farmers part-time jobs making movements, before becoming a specialist producer of extra-flat watches and elite complications. Today Baume & Mercier flourishes as a watchmaker of copper-bottomed Swiss quality, whose fresh aesthetic suits a young, well-heeled crowd.

For Old Time's Sake
Baume & Mercier’s modern-day workshops in Les Brenets not only produce new watches, but also repair old ones, under the highly sustainable philosophy of “no Baume & Mercier watch is unrepairable” – even if it involves remanufacturing parts. The oldest timepiece ever received for refurbishment was a handsome pocket watch made in 1870.
