In 1918, William Baume, a third-generation watchmaker, partnered with Paul Mercier, a visionary aesthete and businessman, in Geneva. This collaboration brought together William's technical pragmatism and Paul's design sensibilities, leading to a focus on wristwatches, particularly those with unconventional "shaped" cases beyond the traditional round style. The new "Baume & Mercier" company was officially registered in 1920. The war would later shape their company.
This is a circa 1960s Geneve Baumatic automatic date with a spotted patina dial. The overall midcentury stylings of this watch were to serve all occasions from sailing adventures to weddings.
