wreplicaEstablished in 1830 the Swiss brand of luxury watches is not just a name, it carries a rich heritage devolved through generation to generation. It has evolved into a dynastic era of watchmaking, stage by stage. The brand was shifted to London by the Baume brothers, founders of the official brand. Initially they manufactured enameled fob watches. Later they sold their watches with names of “Water Loo”, “Diviko” and “Sirdar”. But eventually they registered “Baume Brothers” in 1851. They made various boastful innovations, which are featured in every piece of theirs to this day. For example, they won the chronometry competition of the ‘Kew Teddington’ observatory by capturing 91.9 out of 100.

From 1880 onwards the torch was carried on by the second generation, a young clear-sighted pair of awesome entrepreneurs. Under their supervision the company became known internationally. They were the ones who won the Kew Teddington award in 1885, and then again in 1892. They were awarded for a keyless chronometer and tourbillon movement. Such is the company’s pursuit for absolute perfection, which kept them far ahead of their competition. The company added a detent escapement to tourbillon movement in 1893.

The company evolved into “Baume and Mercier” in 1920 due to collaboration between William Baume (grandson of the founder) and Paul Mercier. The new alliance led the company to greater heights. They were awarded the most prestigious diploma “Poincon de Geneve” (Geneva hallmark), by the Geneva Watchmaking Senior Committee. The diploma confirmed that the company used highest number of hallmark stamped original pieces.

Today the proud company celebrates its 180th anniversary in 2010 by presenting “Classima Collection” in limited numbered edition. The new collection is a treat for the watch collectors. Individuals, who look for an intelligent prudent watch, may purchase replica watches Baume and Mercier. These replica watches are passed through a strict quality standard process to make sure they match their originals in minutest detail. The difference (if any) is visible only to a trained eye. The only invisible difference between them is that the replica Baume and Mercier are not as waterproof as their originals. Therefore users of the replicas are advised to shower, swim and/or dive without wearing it.
