Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Grandly stylish with contemporary lines, the two-tone Baume & Mercier Diamant stainless steel women's watch (model 8600) will add a dash of modern style to any professional or casual ensemble. Made of high grade stainless steel, the silver watch case features a tank-style design (with wide, polished track-like sides) that measures 22mm wide (0.87 inches)--a great match for slender wrists. It's accented by a unique oval gold crown with a single off-centered diamond. The mother of pearl dial offers a mix of shiny gold-tone stick and Arabic numeral markers, Dauphine hands, and a date window at 6 o'clock. The stainless steel bracelet band is composed of three columns of links, with a wider center column mixing polished silver stainless steel and 18 karat gold. It's joined by a hidden, folding clasp. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet).

The dial is stamped with Baume & Mercier's signature Greek letter Phi (Φ), which symbolizes the harmonious lines and a perfect balance in design that the company constantly strives for. It's long been used to denote the golden number, or ratio, which suggests a natural balance between symmetry and asymmetry.

The Baume & Mercier Story

Baume & Mercier has a rich history in storied tradition of Swiss watchmaking, now over 170 years. In 1830, brothers Louis Victor and Pierre-Joseph-Celestin Baume established the Baume Freres Watch firm in the Swiss Jura region--the heart of the Swiss watch industry. As business flourished in Europe a grandson of the founder, William Baume met Paul Mercier, a great lover of the arts and in 1918 they created a business partnership. The contrast of the rigorous, precise Baume with the artistic, free thinking Mercier fused form and function to create the traditions of perfection, quality, and luxury that still exist today.

In 1964, Baume & Mercier registered the Greek letter PHI as its brand logo, and it continues to be present on all Baume & Mercier designs. A symbol of the golden ratio and Leonard de Vinci's theory of proportion, it represents aesthetic elegance based on "divine proportions" that remain the brand's cardinal values.

the designers at Baume & Mercier utilize the goldmine of the company's over 175 years of watch-making history--from the oval of a crown to the graphics of a dial--to create the aesthetic contours of new timepieces. Inspired by a rectangular pink gold watch introduced by Baume & Mercier in 1960, the signature Hampton line of watches was created as a blend of watchmaking tradition and contemporary design. And the company still lives by the original slogan of the Baume brothers when they started Baume Freres: "Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality."

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless beauty, August 21, 2007
This review is from: Baume & Mercier Women's 8600 Diamant Steel and 18k Gold Watch (Watch)
I received this watch as a gift from my husband. It is absolutely stunning. Out of a thousand watches, this is the one I would have chosen, if I had done the shopping!

He was torn between this and a Tag, but I am so glad he bought this one. It isn't as "common" as the Tag, and it is, by far, more elegant. The history of Baume & Mercier lends a certain prestige and class to this timepiece, that the Tag simply cannot touch. I love the two-tone. It is a classic look that can be taken from casual day wear, to evening.

This is a timepiece for a lady, NOT a trend chasing girl. I am 28 years old, but I have very classic taste when it comes to fine jewelry. This watch is not only a timeless piece that will carry through decades, but the contemporary look of the linear design adds a certain modernity that makes the piece feel very current. It is nice and weighty on my wrist, and feels like pure luxury.

You cannot go wrong with purchasing this gorgeous timepiece.
