Details
A Statement In Gold And Color
The 1960s were a period of immense creativity for Baume & Mercier, a time when the brand leaned heavily into producing expressive, jewelry-first timepieces. This watch is a perfect artifact from that era, designed not just to tell time but to be a significant piece of jewelry in its own right. The combination of solid 18K yellow gold with a vibrant turquoise dial creates an unapologetically opulent look. It represents a moment when watch design was about bold shapes, rich materials, and making a statement of personal style.
An Integrated Work Of Art
What elevates this piece is the seamless integration of its design elements. The reconstituted turquoise stone dial provides a clean, vibrant surface, free of numerals or markers, allowing the color and material to be the focus. This vibrant blue is carried directly into the bracelet, which features matching turquoise enamel inlays within its solid 18K gold links. This is not just a watch with a special dial, but a complete, unified design where the case, dial, and bracelet work together as a single piece.
Honest Condition From The 1960s
This example is in very good condition. The unpolished 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet show signs of use consistent with a piece from its era, but the overall structure and presentation remain excellent. The reconstituted turquoise dial is clean, and the enamel inlays in the bracelet are intact, preserving the watch's unique aesthetic. The complete piece feels solid and well-cared-for. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of Winding
This watch is for someone who appreciates the art of adornment and the deliberate pace of a vintage, manual-wind timepiece. The daily ritual of winding the crown creates a direct connection between the owner and the intricate machine on their wrist. It’s a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship that powers such a beautiful object. This piece works today as a bold expression of vintage style, perfect for the person who sees their watch as a primary piece of jewelry that happens to tell time.
