As far back as the 16th Century the Baume name has been associated with prestigious watchmaking. In 1918, William Baume and Paul Mercier consolidated their businesses and the Baume & Mercier name was born. In 1964 they introduced the greek Phi symbol as their corporate emblem. It represents the brand's high standards of workmanship, attention to detail and commitment to quality. 
This Hampton Classic XL Chronograph is a new release from them and retails @ Gemnation.
