Since its inception in 1830, Baume & Mercier has been a staple in the Swiss watch industry. This watch, manufactured in the 1940s, was constructed when B&M already had over 100 years of watchmaking experience, and it shows. With a sporty but elegant case in 18k gold, clean bi-compax layout, and proven Landeron movement, this chronograph is a must-have if you're dressing to impress.
Luxuwrist.com is proud to offer a vintage Baume & Mercier chronograph in solid 18k yellow gold. This watch is approximated to be manufactured in the 1940s and is powered by a Landeron 48 manual wound chronograph movement.
