BAUME & MERCIER: A HOUSE OF CELEBRATION
The Baume & Mercier House is inextricably linked to celebration. For more than two centuries, its timepieces have been the privileged witnesses of special occasions with friends and family: watches that accompany individual experiences with their unique designs and expert crafting.
The holidays are a time of sharing and emotion, and the House is here to honor and enhance these moments. It celebrates time as it passes, unique and unforgettable. Each second becomes a special memory, each watch a symbol that brings meaning to life.
This holiday season, Baume & Mercier extends an invitation to celebrate time shared through its four emblematic collections, each a distinctive expression of style and emotion: Clifton, Riviera, Hampton, and Classima.

Four emblematic collections, each a distinctive expression of style and emotion
The CLIFTON collection: Refined energy for a symbol of great successes and decisive moments
This collection carries forward the watchmaking heritage of the slender, round watches characteristic of the 1950s. Its refinement resonates in its understated vintage design with exquisite finishes and structured lines. The Clifton embodies technical excellence through timepieces equipped with the Baumatic movement, guaranteeing precision, durability, and reliability. It features a number of complications: date, day, moon phase and perpetual calendar. Its dial lends itself to a varied chromatic array. Its case is available in 42, 40, and 39 mm versions. Rounding out this range is a high-tech 34 mm model specially developed for women.
The RIVIERA collection: Joyful, liberated vitality, dedicated to bright, spontaneous moments
The revolutionary watch with its twelve-sided bezel, revealed in 1973, is a showcase of chic casual style. It reflects the many facets of the French Rivieras through spectacular watchmaking complications: skeleton, tideograph, and perpetual calendar. 2025 marked the launch of the chronograph within this collection, housed within a slim 41 mm case. Dainty 33 mm models for women, each equipped with a quartz movement, were also released this year.
The HAMPTON collection: Bold design symbolizing strong connection, self-expression and empowerment
The vintage rectangle of this watch, with its 1920s Art Deco look inspired by an iconic piece from the 1960s, successfully combines simple lines and curves with softened corners for an elegantly minimalist aesthetic approach. Each sophisticated model is adorned with a dial in refined tones, reaching the epitome of elegance in various versions: full black with a dark lacquered dial, 18K rose gold, and diamond-bejeweled.
The CLASSIMA collection: Timeless simplicity for a sincere gesture from the heart
This collection beautifully illustrates fine traditional Swiss watchmaking in its restraint and discretion. It combines this heritage with unbridled creativity, exploring a color palette and a selection of materials that bring out the beauty of its case. Each round and slender model is perfectly fitted to any wrist, offering a choice among diameters ranging from 42 to 31 mm. The complications offered by the collection ensure daily functionality in addition to style.
Baume & Mercier celebrates this year’s holiday season, making it a magical, unforgettable occasion.
