Baume et Mercier is a Swiss watchmaking company, represented in 75 countries, producing about 200,000 watches per year.

After WWI in 1918, sweeping changes occurred across the globe. Women were emancipated, which led to the increased demand of jewelry, watches, brooches, etc. The pocket watch soon was replaced by the wrist watch as well after proving its effectiveness in the military context. Recognizing the changes in society and the rise of a new generation, William Baume and Paul Mercier combined forces in 1918 to create Baume & Mercier. The two created high-quality watches that soon found a market in the United States. Only a year after the company was set up, Baume & Mercier’s watches were awarded the Poincon de Geneve, the highest token of fine craftsmanship. The company continued to receive many recognitions in the following years.
