Event Recap: Celebrating Baume & Mercier's 2014 Collection Just In Time For Father's Day
Last night we had the privilege of hosting an awesome group of readers and collectors at New York City's Soho House to go hands-on with the latest releases from Baume & Mercier. There were great watches and great conversation in abundance, and Rudy Chavez, President of Baume & Mercier North America, welcomed guests and shared his knowledge of both the 2014 novelties and Baume & Mercier's history.

You can see all of Baume & Mercier's most interesting pieces right here. 2 OF 25 3 OF 25 4 OF 25 5 OF 25 6 OF

Im just curious and I think these cover most of the reasons but maybe there are some ETA BB owners out there that have more to addSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
