Founded by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in the Swiss Jura in 1830, Baume & Mercier is a Swiss watchmaker whose contemporary collections unite classical elegance, shaped-case design, and practical mechanical innovation.
Open in The Dial AtlasThe Baume & Mercier entry in The Dial Atlas currently connects 25 cataloged references across 11 families. The catalog records 1830 as its founding year and Switzerland as its associated country. The maker is organized here as a navigable set of family and exact-reference records. These counts describe the structured archive available on this site, not the brand's complete historical output.
Start with Clifton Baumatic (5 references), Riviera Quartz 33 (5 references), Riviera Chronograph 41 (3 references), Hampton Quartz 35 x 22.2 (2 references), and Riviera Automatic 39 (2 references). Each family page keeps related watches together while preserving the reference codes, production periods, variants, and imagery that distinguish one execution from another. This makes the brand page a practical index for moving from a maker-level overview to the evidence attached to an individual watch.

The archive is designed to make both celebrated models and less familiar executions discoverable through stable, ordinary links.
