M MENS DRESS W hen a brand like Baume and Mercier releases a watch that retails for under $1,000, the watch collecting public is going to sit up and take notice. It’s not often that a brand name spoken in the same breath with some of the greatest watches known comes out with a watch in this price range. The My Classima collection from Baume and Mercier offers the opportunity to own a Swiss call brand for only a few hundred dollars. The watches are designed after styles of Baume and Mercier of the 1940s, so case sizes are traditional with 40mm, 36mm and 31mm. The watches are slim, elegantly designed with the features you would expect from this brand – sapphire crystal, surgical grade stainless steel, cowhide leather and a date complication. The engine is a Swiss ETA quartz. For more information visit www.baume-et-mercier.com. 100 | AboutTime Magazine
