Luxury Swiss-made Timepieces
Since 1830, Baume & Mercier has crafted timepieces that last a lifetime. Brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume opened a comptoir horloger in Les Bois, a village in the Swiss Jura, and grew the business rapidly whilst staying true to their motto, “accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality”.
At the beginning of the 1920s, 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 models that we are proud to stock in our showroom collection here at Hogans Family Jewellers.

If your Baume & Mercier watch needs a service, we invite you to drop off your watch at Hogans Family Jewellers and we will take care of sending it to one of Baume & Mercier's service centres.
Once received by one of the Baume & Mercier service centres, your watch will be handled by a certified watchmaker benefitting from specific tools and original components.
Battery life is generally between 3 and 10 years, depending on the watch model.
The majority of Baume & Mercier quartz watches with a central seconds hand, come equipped with a system to indicate a low battery (EOL – End of Life). A\pproximately two weeks before the battery will stop, the central seconds hand will begin to jump every four seconds, signaling that the battery must be changed.
You should never leave an exhausted battery inside the watch to avoid the risk of leakage which could damage the movement.
We recommend the battery be replaced by a certified watchmaker who will also check water-resistance and movement condition of your watch.
