Why Baume & Mercier is the Baume Dot Com

Posted by Chris on Friday, August 13, 2021

Baume & Mercier is a watchmaker that’s at the top of their game when it comes to luxury sport watches, and we do love our luxury sport watches here at WatchMaxx. Of course, we love all kinds of watches. If there was such a thing as tapdancing watches, we’d love those too.

However, when it comes to luxury sport watches, Baume & Mercier, or Baume et Mercier for the more formal folks out there, make some of our absolute favorites. 

Notice how we keep saying luxury sport here, because that’s what really sets these watches at the front of the pack. While Baume & Mercier make a pretty nice variety of sport watches, these are all unmistakably, and completely unashamedly, luxury pieces. We’re talking the upper echelons of Swiss craftsmanship and glittering bucket-list-worthy timepieces. 

While all of their sport watches are luxury, you could also say that all of their luxury watches are sport. That is, they’re watches you’ll want to be sporting on your arm. 

The quality and status of Baume et Mercier watches isn’t an accident, nor are they riding the wave of a recent fashion fad. The company has been around since the 1830s, spending decades upon decades honing their craft and building layer upon layer of a rich tapestry of masterful watchmaking. 

Each piece is an exclamation mark at the end of a tale that’s been going on for almost two hundred years. And you, dear reader, are lucky enough to have the chance to make a piece of that story one with your own. 

Let’s take a look at a handful of our favorites from among our Baume & Mercier watches

The Clifton Automatic Green Dial Leather Strap Men's Watch

Baume et Mercier collaborated with Indian Motorcycle to create a special edition of their iconic Clifton series. We don’t know how anybody could look at this without really feeling it in their RPMs. 

The Baume & Mercier Clifton Automatic Green Dial Men’s Watch is the perfect mix of classic style and modern vibes. The rich green dial, paired with silver-tone hands and index hour markers, pops just enough without being over the top.

Add in the black alligator leather strap and brushed stainless steel case, and you’ve got a watch that’s as versatile as it is sharp—perfect for everything from office meetings to weekend dinners.

Under the hood, this beauty is powered by the Baumatic BM13-1975A COSC automatic movement, giving you an impressive 120-hour power reserve—no need to wind it constantly. With a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, transparent case back, and 50-meter water resistance, it’s built to last while looking great.

Casual or dressed up, the Clifton makes a statement without even trying.

Okay, now let’s take a moment to appreciate a true classic—clean, crisp, and effortlessly sophisticated.

This Baume & Mercier Classima is the definition of timeless style. The white dial is simplicity at its finest, with sleek silver-tone hands and a mix of Roman numerals and index markers, giving it that perfect touch of old-school charm. And let’s not overlook the black alligator leather strap—it’s like the little black dress of watches, ready to elevate anything you pair it with.

The 42mm stainless steel case is bold but not overwhelming, striking just the right balance for everyday wear or special occasions. And with a trusty quartz movement keeping things running smoothly, you won’t have to worry about winding it. Whether you're hitting the office or a nice dinner, this Classima is the kind of piece that says, "I’ve got style, but I’m not trying too hard."

Oh, and did we mention durability? With a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a 30-meter water resistance, it’s built to keep up with you—no fuss, no drama. In short, this watch does what it does best: keeps things classy.

The Capeland Chronograph 42mm Automatic Black Dial Leather Strap

We’re hesitant to present another chronograph, but... actually no, we’re not hesitant at all. We love chronographs! And Baume & Mercier make some of the best out there. Take this Capeland for example. 

The most outstanding feature to us is the way the polished steel case and crown make this piece look like it would be at home in the palm of a hand, waiting for the shot of the starting gun. This is a watch that’s meant to be used, and those chronograph controls are meant to be pushed. 

The dial is a classic black with three subdials and a creatively placed assortment of numerical hour markers. The tachymeter scale is on the outer rim of the dial rather than on a bezel, which means there is a lot of information packed into that space without it feeling crowded. 

The strap is black alligator leather for a comfortable fit that still carries a bite. 

Get ready. Get set. Go get yourself a chronograph that will make your heart race like this one does ours.

The Clifton Black Dial Leather Strap

This Clifton is a bit different from all the others. The first thing you might notice is the incredibly modern design of the case, the way it seems to flow seamlessly into the lugs. 

The dial is different as well, featuring a single subdial and a spectacular open heart at 9 o’clock that eats up a bit of the minute markers on the perimeter. Even the chronograph controls are missing, with a single crown that sits neatly in the site of the case. 

It’s an unconventional design, to say the least, and proof that Baume et Mercier can succeed in designs that don’t fit the classic standard of what a watch should look like. 

It’s sexy, it’s aerodynamic, and it looks like it’s fast. We don’t mean the time is fast. It’s powered by a Baume & Mercier Calibre P591, after all. No, we mean it looks like it was built to move. It belongs on the wrist of the guy breaking the sound barrier, not the people timing him from the sidelines. 

Who wants to be on the sidelines anyways?
