Brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume opened a comptoir horloger (watch dealership) in Les Bois, a village in the Swiss Jura in 1830. Their motto quickly became “accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality.” They subsequently forged a fine reputation through the creation of exceptional timepieces featuring the latest innovations. At the beginning of the 1920s, the company director William Baume joined forces with Paul Mercier. Together, they founded Baume & Mercier, Genève, in 1918. The firm soon became one of the most active in the field of wristwatches by offering remarkably balanced special-shaped models. During the Roaring Twenties and throughout the Art Deco period, the brand established its style and left an indelible mark on watch design. Baume & Mercier has been a staple in the luxury watch industry since 1830. Known for their craftsmanship, precision, and timeless designs, their watches have become synonymous with luxury and elegance. During the 1950s and 60's and constantly in pursuit of the equilibrium symbolized by the Greek letter Phi – the current Baume & Mercier logo – laid the groundwork of what is now considered the archetypal traditional round watch.
