Baume & Mercier Capeland Chronograph

Baume & Mercier is a prestigious Swiss watchmaker with a history dating back to 1830. The brand was founded in the Swiss village of Les Bois by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume under the name 'Frères Baume.' Following a partnership with Paul Mercier in 1918, the company established itself in Geneva and became synonymous with elegant, high-quality horology.

The featured watch is a Capeland Chronograph, known for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and technical features such as a telemeter and tachymeter scale. As a brand that carries the 'Swiss Made' label, manufacturing is focused in Switzerland, specifically at their watchmaking workshop (Les Brenets) to ensure strict quality controls.

Today, Baume & Mercier is part of the luxury conglomerate Richemont (Compagnie Financière Richemont SA), which owns several of the world's leading 'Maisons' in the field of luxury goods, particularly jewelry and watches. Despite its corporate ownership, the brand maintains its headquarters in Geneva, continuing its legacy of accessible Swiss luxury.
