Baumet et Mercier: The new Linea Collection - Interwatches.com News

The end of the year is almost here and Baume et Mercier are sneaking a preview of the new Linea Collection for women to be available as of 2012.

For the past nearly one hundred years, since wristwatches came into existence, Baume & Mercier Maison d’Horlogerie has catered to women’s needs and wants. Decade after decade, the brand has been a leader in offering graceful styling and cutting-edge allure. Such is the case with the now-iconic women’s Linea collection that was first introduced to the world in 1987.

Embracing both evocative beauty and technical prowess at the same time, Baume & Mercier now equips several Linea models with automatic movements and sapphire case backs for the viewing thereof. The newest elegantly curved Linea model features a case reminiscent of the original case, but the watch is wrought with stunning updates and forward-thinking nuances.

Since Baume & Mercier recognizes that every woman loves a little surprise, the watchmakers have designed the interchangeable bracelet system for incredible ease of use, offering multiple looks to match any personal statement.
