COMPANY PROFILE - HISTORY

Baume & Mercier was founded as "Frères Baume" in 1830 by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume, who opened the watch dealership  in Les Bois, a village in  the Swiss Jura. The Swiss watch manufacturer expanded internationally by establishing a branch  in London in 1921 under the name "Baume Brothers", which led to expansion throughout  the British Empire. By the  late 19th century, the company had an established international reputation, and its timepieces had set accuracy records and won a number of timekeeping competitions. In 1918, company director William Baume partnered with Paul Mercier to found "Baume & Mercier"  in Geneva. The firm became specialized in  manufacturing wristwatches, particularly unconventional "shaped" models that did not possess the traditional round form. In 1919, Baume  & Mercier was awarded the Geneva Seal, the highest international distinction of the time for watchmaking excellence.

During the "Roaring Twenties", the brand  embraced women's emancipation. In the 1940s, Baume & Mercier launched a number of modern ladies' watch collections, most notably the Marquise.

In the 1970s, Baume & Mercier introduced shaped timepieces such as the Galaxie and Stardust models. In 1973, Baume & Mercier presented the Riviera, one of the world's first steel sports watches. In 1988, the Swiss watchmaker joined  the Richemont group.

Today, the brand offers the Clifton, Classima, Hampton, and Capeland collections for  men, and the Hampton and Linea collections for women.
