Over the years, Baume & Mercier has been responsible for some of the most innovative technological breakthroughs in the science of timekeeping.
The development of the planetary rotor, a device which oscillates with the movements of the wrist to wind the watch and activate the mainspring, led to the production of the world's flattest self-winding watch.
Still a best seller today, it's 12-sided bezel and alternating satin-finish and polished link bracelet set it apart from the field when it was introduced in 1973.
Other striking collections launched by Baume & Mercier include the stylish, water resistant Malibu Collection, the Hampton collection which balances tradition and modernity with retro charm and contemporary elegance; and the Linea collection, one of the most prestigious lines of jewelry bracelets for women.
