This Baume & Mercier collection is a very exclusive one, not only due to its price tag of around $13,900.00 but also because there will be only few lucky watches enthusiasts who will have the honor of wearing one of these timepieces on their wrist, because the limited edition has just 178 timepieces, as for the tourbillon model, there are only 10 watches produced worldwide.
