Feminine, an integral part of Baume and Mercier Linea watch brand’s genetic code
Renowned as a pioneer in women’s watches with the unforgettable Marquise, Galaxy, Stardust, and Catwalk models, Baume & Mercier anticipated the winds of change in the Twenties, sensing what female customers truly desired. Rich with curves and rounded shapes, Linea became an iconic watch from its first unveiling in 1987, openly embracing a sensuality that had fallen by the wayside as the era evolved. In 2000, Linea introduced the interchangeable strap concept, to the great delight of the brand’s aficionados around the world.
The 2011 version has been redesigned with a polished / satin-finished bracelet that joins harmoniously with the case; a bezel with bold numerals… yet the new model retains the essence of the original, embodying elegance, comfort, and versatility, all with a fresh new feeling. The watch is available in 27 mm and 32 mm sizes, in quartz or chrono-quartz and most recently in the brand’s first automatic edition. The 2011 Linea somehow knew our every wish before we expressed it! And, with this new range of beautiful interchangeable straps, it brings us a more colorful world. Add to that Baume & Mercier’s value of designing affordable luxury watches, men will have a good reason to envy the fairer sex!

A selection of three more shiny-leather straps is proposed to add color variety to all the Linea watches with a case diameter of 27 mm:
Pearly Grey, Pepper Raspberry, Metallize Havana.
