New York—Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher are the newest celebrities to represent luxury watchmaker Baume and Mercier. As with the brand’s two previous campaigns, all royalties due to the ambassadors and their photographers—Robert Erdmann for Terri Hatcher and Jim Wright for Ashton Kutcher—will be donated to charities jointly chosen by the Hollywood stars and the watch brand. The new campaign will support the fight against cancer, underprivileged women and the promotion of child education. The ads featuring Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher will launch on Jan. 1 and April 1, respectively. Previous Baume and Mercier celebrity ambassadors have been Meg Ryan, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Basinger and Gary Sinise.

Ref. 8853 For this chronograph, Baume & Mercier has designed a new fluted case in black satin-finished and sand-blasted PVD-coated steel, accentuated by profiled push-pieces and driven by a mechanical self-winding movement. Screwed down to guarantee perfect water-resistance to 200 meters, the case-back is fitted with a triangular-shaped opening revealing the oscillating weight adorned with "C?tes de Gen��ve". The black dial is enlivened by riveted "appliqu��" rhodium-plated hour-markers coated with Superluminova?*, along with luminescent hollowed hands ensuring optimal readability. The fluted screw-down crown is adorned with the Phi symbol. The date appears at 6 o'clock, the chronograph at 3 o'clock (minutes) and the small seconds at 9 o'clock.
