For watch enthusiasts seeking a beautiful timepiece that is easy to wear, Baume & Mercier presents two elegant Classima self-winding watches that mingle watchmaking codes with refined materials. Two models are available: 31mm and 39mm.
In its 31 mm version, the round 18K pink gold case features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that reveals a delicate white mother-of-pearl dial emphasized by a graceful iridescent minute track. Gold-tone leaf hands lightly sweep along it, pointing to each gold-tone Roman numeral and index in turn.
A date aperture appears at 3 o’clock, to the left of the cabochon-shaped crown, for a more feminine touch. The result is elegant and streamlined. Turning the piece over, the open case back – in sapphire and titanium – reveals a self-winding movement that beats to the pace of the hours, minutes and seconds.
This classic watch with 31mm case is presented on a black alligator strap with square scales, tone-on-tone overstitching, and a pin buckle.
Its interchangeability system makes it possible to adapt any other style of strap to this precious watch case in order to bring the piece a totally different look suitable for the occasion.
The 39mm model also houses a self-winding movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Its 18K pink gold case has an open back in sapphire and titanium to show off the movement.
Its opaline silver dial has a luminous hue that reveals gold-tone Roman numerals and indexes emphasized by coordinated gold-tone leaf hands. A delicate minute track runs all the way around, emphasizing the surround with a modern, streamlined approach.
An aperture at 3 o’clock shows the date. For a more traditional touch, this Swiss-made piece is mounted on an interchangeable black alligator leather strap with square scales and tone-on-tone overstitching, topped with a gold-tone pin buckle.
