Close-Up: Baume & Mercier Promesse Ladies’ Watch Collection
Baume & Mercier has been turning to its extensive watch archives to inspire its recent men’s watch collections, such as the Clifton. Last year, the Swiss brand launched a new watch line for ladies that takes its aesthetic cues from past models. The new Baume & Mercier Promesse, now in stores for Mother’s Day, is influenced by a classical model from the 1970s.Baume & Mercier’s history with women’s watches stretches at least to 1918, when the founding duo of William Baume & Paul Mercier began creating jewelry watches in the Art Deco style of the era.

First PP
A huge thank you to Ken HL65, Benlee for all his fabulous photos, Snipermaverick, kittayos and WhatTheDeuce for all of their advice! Most will not even remember me as I talked to them early in this journey, which started in 2014. I have been looking for this watch since then but was unable to even see one in person until a month ago when my nearest AD got one in. Tried it on and loved everything about it but was not sure of the thickness. Came back home to mull over it and realized I just LOVE this watch. It was the same time that yessir69 posted that his AD was losing PP and found out they had this watch in stock. Long story short, I had them order a deployant clasp and ship it to me and here it is!For the OCD members out there- yes, I still have not set the moon phase yet, I am sorry!!

Ordering exotic straps from OCONUS
Greetings all,I apologize if this question has been asked. I am interested in purchasing some exotic straps (gator, etc) from overseas and had a few questions I'm hoping some of the experts can help me on..1. Will the exotic straps make it thru US customs? If not, I'll just order CONUS.2. If I purchase exotic straps, am I contributing to the demise of any endangered species, if so then forget question 1. Leather it is.thanks for your help.Joe
