Baume & Mercier Unveils Four New Models in the Classima Collection
The esteemed Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier continues to define elegance and versatility with its latest additions to the Classima Collection. Embodying the modern man’s dynamic lifestyle, these timepieces merge sophisticated design with sporty appeal, ensuring reliability and ease of wear for any occasion. The new models, Classima M0A10766, M0A10767, M0A10780, and M0A10762, expand this diverse collection, offering refined choices that uphold the brand’s commitment to accessible high-quality Swiss watchmaking.
Continuing a Legacy of Slender Excellence
Baume & Mercier has a storied history of crafting some of the slimmest watches in the world, a distinction that dates back to its early 20th-century reputation as a “Fine Watchmaking Manufacture.” Recognized for their expertise in both women’s and men’s ultra-slim watches, the brand has consistently showcased aesthetic and technical innovation. This heritage is evident in the new Classima models, which feature slim, shapely round cases and tight, precise lines that reflect the brand’s unwavering pursuit of perfection.
The new timepieces—M0A10766, M0A10767, and M0A10780—boast a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of just 6 mm, while the M0A10762 measures 39 mm in diameter and 5 mm in thickness. These proportions epitomize the brand’s dedication to discreet elegance and impeccable design.
Creative Mastery and Attention to Detail
Unveiled at Watches & Wonders, the latest Classima chronographs exemplify Baume & Mercier’s relentless quest for stylistic excellence. These models combine structural finesse, elegance, and athletic spirit, featuring lacquered sun-satin dials in blue, sand, and green. The azure subdials, inner colored flanges, and sleek push-buttons at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock highlight the brand’s signature design elements.
The dials of the new Classima models offer a striking visual contrast with slender Roman numerals, hands, and indexes. The intricate architecture of the tinted inner flange adds depth, while the careful consideration of chromatic and spatial relationships ensures that each time and calendar indication stands out aesthetically and technically. The dials’ designs mimic the fabric patterns of the Holland & Sherry straps, following the same diagonal weave at a 45-degree angle.
Luxurious English Fabric Straps
The straps of the four new Classima models are crafted from wool by the prestigious British fabric house Holland & Sherry, known for supplying the finest tailors and luxury brands since 1836. These straps, available in colors matching the dials, embody the height of elegance, reflecting the bespoke gentlemen’s suits from London’s Savile Row.
