Baume & Mercier Add New Models To Its William Baume Editions: The Retrograde, Ultraflat, And Tourbillon Watches
At Baume et Mercier (aka Baume & Mercier), the William Baume name has always applied to very classic simple watches. If you want a handsome and timeless Swiss watch that won't utterly devastate your bank account, the William Baume collection is usually a good place to look.

How long was the 26170 in production?

How long were they in production? Was curious as to how long the current ROO colorways may stay before others are introduced. I'm of course expecting some special model for the 25th, but was assuming the main 26470 models will stay for a bit longer. Thanks in advance!
