Baume & Mercier's origin begins with two brothers, Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume who opened a high-end watch store in 1830 Switzerland. Louis-Victor and Célestin built their business and reputation on the motto “accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality”. It wasn't until Louis-Victor's grandson, William Baume, met Paul Mercier in 1918 that Baume & Mercier would officially form in Geneva. Holding true to the original motto established by the Baume brothers, William and Paul went on to receive esteemed recognition and many awards for their innovation in horology and quality of timepieces. 

The interesting and devilishly handsome Baumatic ref. 35115 presented here is the perfect amalgamation of an Omega Constellation, Cartier Elipse, and a Patek Philippe Calatrava. The striking Clous de Paris, or hobnail, 18K yellow gold case is elegant, yet understated, and is the perfect backdrop for the perfectly aged "tropical" dial.

CASE & BRACELET

The 18K yellow gold C-shaped case with "Clous de Paris" finishing is in impressively well-preserved condition, showing no notable elements of previous polishing and only signs of gentle use present. The sapphire crystal is clean, showing no scratches or notable signs of use. The watch retains its original blue sapphire cabochon crown. The case back retains its factory engravings in deep and crisp condition. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The original and downright gorgeous painted Roman numeral dial has achieved a remarkable purple and gold tropical patina throughout. The dial is in very well-preserved condition with no notable damage and or unsightly age patterns. The original black leaf-style hands are in excellent condition.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch is keeping time perfectly, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
