The beauty of vintage design often lies in the details. This remarkable Baume & Mercier is a perfect reminder of that.
At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a beautifully woven 14k yellow gold bracelet. Only after lifting the sculptural cover does the hidden dial reveal itself. It's a subtle feature, yet one that completely changes the experience of wearing the watch.
During the mid-century, manufactures like Baume & Mercier embraced this approach, blurring the line between fine jewellery and watchmaking.
The more time you spend with this piece, the more there is to appreciate. The beautifully woven bracelet flows effortlessly into the case, the engraved side profile adds another layer of craftsmanship, and the integrated clasp allows the design to remain completely uninterrupted. Nothing feels out of place.
Perhaps what impressed us most is the condition. The crisp finishes, sharp edges and remarkably well-preserved dial suggest a watch that has been cherished throughout its life. It's exactly these kinds of pieces that remind us why we love vintage. Not because they're complicated, but because they represent a level of creativity and craftsmanship that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The watch is fully checked & serviced by our watchmakers. Therefore it comes with a one year warranty on the movement and our own certificate of authenticity.
