Baume & Mercier reveals watch manufacturing expertise

Luxury swiss brand dedicated to craftsmanship at brenet atelier

Baume & Mercier, the exclusive Swiss watch manufacturer, enjoys a strong presence throughout the UAE; its hand crafted timepieces proving extremely popular with customers in this part of the world. But few people are aware of the level of craftsmanship that goes into a hand assembled Baume & Mercier watch. We take a look behind the scenes at the Brenet atelier in Switzerland, where the companyeCOs timepieces are painstakingly put together.

A watch is rather like a puzzle “Puzzle solving” redirects here. For the concept in Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of science, see normal science.

A puzzle is a problem or enigma that challenges ingenuity.

 assembled to give shape to a beating new timekeeper. The assembly of a luxury Baume & Mercier watch takes place at iteCOs the companyeCOs Brenets atelier in Switzerland, over a number of carefully refined stages.

True manufactures are hard to come by these days - the concept has been largely misused mis·use

 for marketing purposes. In reality, few watchmaking houses are totally autonomous. It is extremely rare, even for the biggest, not to call upon subcontractors for joints, crystals, crowns and certain watchcases and movements. Baume & Mercier has opted for integration by developing production flow management. This means it maintains, in-house, all the trades and key watch manufacture processes and forms solid partnerships with the best watch suppliers that are sub-contracted to produce the components and movements required. Baume & Mercier offers luxury timepieces that are affordable. Particular attention is paid to watchmaking finishes and the Baume & Mercier design factor is a key element of appeal. For these reasons, to produce accessible luxury watches, production flow management is the optimal solution and is a process that has allowed Baume and Mercier to develop exclusive hand made watches that offer the best in performance and value.A[umlaut umlaut (m`lout) [Ger.,=transformed sound], in inflection, variation of vowels of the type of English man to men. ] 2008 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)
