Renowned Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier has redefined upper-class elegance with the latest edition to its impeccable William Baume collection, the Tourbillon. This handsomely alluring timepiece makes its initial impression with the rose-gold 43 mm casing, accentuated by the strap fashioned from dark alligator leather. At first sight, the Tourbillon is immediately eye-catching, and a longer look gives sight to the subtler details that add even more class and panache: rose-gold baton markers and hands, and a gold-framed aperture that reveals a flying tourbillon. When you value the sum of its parts, the Tourbillon equals affluent watch*** at its finest. 86 Uniqueness Let’s look at the numbers: a svelte 43 mm case of polished 18K rose gold, a flying tourbillon that completes one revolution every 60 seconds, and water resistance of up to 30 meters. In terms of watches, a few of these are defining, while a few are run of the mill. You can’t just take numbers at face value, though; other key factors that impact the outcome on the watch’s singularity are the anything-but-pedestrian design and the reputation on which it rests. The William Baume Tourbillon not only looks outlandishly tasteful, but also enters the market as the first tourbillon to be offered by Baume & Mercier; besides having some impressive stats, you have to consider that the Tourbillon is also a first. But for all the impressive numbers tied to this extraordinary timepiece, the one that truly tips the scale is 10, which is the number of Tourbillons produced worldwide.

From the 18K rose gold to the sapphire crystal, this timepiece enjoys all the necessary ingredients of sustainability; the superior elements that make up its physical composition will be around as symbols of luxury 50 years from now. The watch also possesses other features that guarantee its longevity as a hallmark of sophistication: the gold-framed aperture revealing the flying tourbillon gives a much needed air of modernity to the otherwise simplistic design. (Ironically, the one slight of hand that the Tourbillon may face could come from its namesake; being Baume & Mercier’s first tourbillon could mean maintenance issues down the road.) Couple the watch’s resilient elements with its timeless detailing, and you get a timepiece that’s sure to be a treasured possession for any man lucky enough to own one -- and we say “lucky” because only 10 are available in the entire world.

The polished stainless steel employed in the manufacturing of the cases is of the finest quality and guarantees a brilliant aspect. The choice of the dial was a very educated one, as it matches perfectly both the polished stainless steel from the case and the satin-brushed steel from the strap. The dial focuses on a guilloche pattern and uses for the color contrast blue hands to tell the main functions of the watch. The dial is also adorned with Roman numerals to indicate the hours, while for the minutes; the designers have chosen to use Arabic numerals from 5 to 5. One of the models is equipped with a second time zone under the 12 o'clock position and a date located at 3 o'clock. The new Baume&Mercier Classima Executive Watches are equipped with mechanical self-winding movements, which provide the best reliability there is and also a power reserve of 40 hours, which at one of the models the power reserve function is expressed through a sub-dial located near the 6 o'clock position.
