With famous proud ambassadors in the world of the entertainment industry, such as Ashton Kutcher, Meg Ryan or Tery Hatcher, the watch manufacturing brand of Baume & Mercier remains one of the most requested brands on the market, not only for its watch manufacturing tradition, which started back in 1830, but also for its up to date designs that meet the expectations of our contemporary society. Baume&Mercier puts indeed a high price on value and just as the brand's motto says: "Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality", all the watches produced by the brand follow the same standards of technical excellence and innovative design. The first model of a Chronograph Mono-pusher watch was introduced by the brand in 1938 and was surely a success, given the fact that after all this time this concept is still wanted on the market. With new and interesting improvements, Baume&Mercier presents us now with the new Baume&Mercier Chronograph Mono-pusher Watch, a timepiece of genuine quality that has managed to bring together in one mechanism all the necessary functions that a watch should provide nowadays. The most amazing element about this watch is that the crown can perform its traditional function and act as a pusher at the same time, due to a state-of-the-art technology which allows these two elements to form one device.The case of the new Baume&Mercier Chronograph Mono-pusher Watch measures 41 mm in diameter and it's crafted from one of the most refined materials, 18 K pink gold. Apart from technical excellence, sophistication would be another term to describe this unique timepiece that pays its tribute to the first models introduced by the brand back in the 1930's, with great emphasis on contemporary design and innovative functions. If we were to talk about the dial of this watch we could only say that it all fits together, the colors, the size, the adornments, everything. Belonging to the William Baume Collection, the new Baume&Mercier Chronograph Mono-pusher Watch displays some of the features of this line, such as the silver guilloche patern for the dial, along with the sub-dials arrangement. The sub-dials are placed symmetrically, one at 9 o'clock for the small seconds, while the other located at the 3 o'clock position, indicating the chronograph minutes. The impressive movement equipping this new Baume&Mercier Chronograph Mono-pusher Watch has stirred the watch connoisseurs, as it is highly performant and quite difficult to manufacture and to assemble. We're talking here about a Lajoux-Perret 5000 Caliber, which is a hand-wound movement generating a power reserve of 42 hours. The watch is available on a hand-sewn brown leather strap and folded with a pink gold clasp, matching the material from the case and will be distributed in a limited number of only 20 pieces.
