Baume & Mercier Clifton watch

Baume & Mercier is a prestigious Swiss luxury watchmaker with a history dating back to 1830. Founded by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in Les Bois, the brand later expanded to Geneva in 1918 through a partnership with Paul Mercier. Known for their 'Swiss Made' excellence, the watches are primarily manufactured and assembled in the Swiss Jura region, specifically in Brenets.

Since 1988, the brand has been a part of the Richemont Group (Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A.). Under Richemont's ownership, Baume & Mercier has positioned itself as an accessible luxury brand within a portfolio that includes other high-end names like Cartier, IWC, and Vacheron Constantin. The brand continues to uphold its heritage of Swiss craftsmanship while benefiting from the global distribution and resources of its parent company headquartered in Bellevue, Switzerland.
