Why We Love it

–

Some watches tell time. Others feel like objects pulled from a jewelry box— sculptural, slightly mysterious, and entirely their own thing.

This Baume & Mercier reference, circa 1970s, sits comfortably in that second category. From the outset, it presents itself less as a conventional wristwatch and more as a commentary on material.

The dial is the clear focal point. A ray dial with white speckling all over, there are truly no dials that look like this anywhere on the market. Fashioned from 14K yellow gold, this piece has a really unique set of lugs to affix the strap to the YV shaped head.

Measuring 26mm X 30mm, the proportions are elegant, but the shape gives it a distinct presence on the wrist. It feels sculptural without being heavy-handed, a unique departure from the usual round case and very much in line with the more expressive design language of the late 20th century.

Inside, a manually wound caliber keeps things rooted in traditional Swiss watchmaking. It offers a reassuring counterpoint to the artistic exterior — simple, reliable, and entirely appropriate for a piece like this. Paired with a leather strap, the watch wears with an understated confidence.

A little bit of watch, a little bit of a fun object, and a reminder that sometimes the most compelling designs are the ones that take a different path.
