The Rarer Side Of The Tiger's Eye Family

By the 1970s the dial had become the main event in Swiss watchmaking, and hardstone was the material of choice for houses selling design rather than complication. Baume & Mercier went about it quietly, building solid gold cases around stone dials without the marketing weight of its larger neighbors. This example is set with Falcon's Eye, the blue variety of the same chatoyant quartz that produces the far more familiar golden Tiger's Eye. Factory-set Falcon's Eye dials are significantly rarer than their golden counterparts, and finding one in a solid 18K yellow gold case with a matching integrated bracelet places this piece in a narrow category.

Stormy Blue Against Solid Gold

The stone carries a deep, silky blue with subtle streaks of grey and silver running through it, and its chatoyancy shifts as light moves across the surface. It reads cooler and moodier than a golden stone dial, which gives the watch a more understated presence despite the amount of gold involved. Sharp Dauphine hands and a matching blue cabochon-set crown tie the design together. The integrated bracelet flows directly out of the case in the same 18K yellow gold, giving the piece the sculptural, jewelry-like feel that defined the decade along with the heft that comes with solid gold construction.

Original In Every Respect

This piece presents in excellent vintage condition. The case, dial, and movement are all entirely original to the watch, and it is fitted with a sapphire crystal. The integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet continues the lines of the case without interruption. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Quiet Power Of A Distinctive Dial

This is a watch for the collector who values natural material and vintage craft over logo recognition. The manual wind movement asks for a few turns of the crown each morning, a small ritual that builds a physical connection between owner and machine that no automatic offers. Because no two slices of stone are ever cut alike, the dial carries a level of individuality that modern production cannot reproduce. It suits someone who wants presence without noise, and a dial most people will not have seen before.

History

Baume & Mercier traces its origins to 1830 in Switzerland, making it one of the older names in watchmaking. Part of the Richemont group since the late 1980s, the brand produced elegant dress watches throughout the 1970s through 1990s in 18-karat gold — pieces like the TV Integrated Dress, the Tiffany-double-stamped examples, and the Shogun — that represent a style of refined Swiss watchmaking that has largely disappeared from current production. Our vintage examples in yellow and rose gold are understated in the way that genuinely well-made things tend to be.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
