Baume & Mercier hasn't traditionally gotten a lot of attention from the watch collector elite, and that's OK — they may not be the most exclusive, in-demand watches of the moment, but they pack a lot of punch for their weight class, and offer a tremendous value for the enthusiast-minded!
Take the Baume & Mercier Promesse, for example. 34mm in diameter with a unique case profile, this piece is just an overall great watch. A perfect graduation or milestone piece, this watch has all the ingredients for your next reliable timepiece.
Quartz for convenience, a silver dial for versatility, set on a comfortable stainless steel bracelet; applique Roman numerals add a bit of personality and warmth to the design; diamond set indexes, a guilloché dial finish, and a mother-of-pearl bezel inlay elevate what would otherwise be a basic watch into something with a bit more flair.
This piece also provides many of the details you want to see on an entry-level luxury watch, including a sapphire crystal and signed crown. Another exciting thing to see is that Baume & Mercier didn’t overlook the bracelet design at all. This bracelet features a rounded center lug layout, a non-conventional approach to bracelet architecture. These details really help separate Baume & Mercier from other entry brands that often cheap out on these details.
All told, these are excellent everyday options for someone who wants to get started in the world of luxury watches without compromising quality and reliability! Plus, this piece is complete with its full kit, making it gift-ready for someone special in your life!
