Is a cream dial
.....just an aged white one?
Did they really mean to make cream coloured dials from new, in the olde days?
Still 9/10 for Baume et Mercier from you after all that, must be pretty good.
You've read my doormat; what else do you want frm me?

SIHH 2011: Baume & Mercier Breaking News
Baume & Mercier: "Life is about moments" with the permission of Baume & Mercier Baume & Mercier has been around for 180 years since 1830. The motto of Maison d’Horlogerie remains - "Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality" ...
Very beautiful chrono
B&M has always been something we poor schmucks can look upon and now with even greater joy and happiness but pardon my ignorance what is the other brand that Richmont is planing to invigorate in 2011? Thank you Best Damjan
Baume et Mercier: Who?
Further to the last posting about Baume & Mercier 2011 novelties, some of our readers (especially the Antipodeans) have asked "Baume et Mercier...who?" The mystery is solved: there were other names. In 1844, Joseph Celestin Baume left Switzerland and went...
I am sold....the Capeland is a classical beaut
My first BnM in 20 years!! Thks MTF. Best, Horo
I can't remember!!
Was still a teenager then and I remember tissot and Solvil et Titus watches as well. Those were starter watches, and most of the range(some would argue all) is insignificant horologically. Best, Horo
BLOODY HELLLLLLLL............................
wow....wow.....wow those historic chrono just blew my socks off.... gorgeous ! Imran
There is commonality in feelings and reaction mate
But you were more accurate and articulate in expression!!! Best, Horo
We don't usually allow
Imran, We don't usually allow shouting and expletives on PuristSPro but this time, its understandable. Regards, MTF
Very nice chronograph... but the date window spoils everything !
Without it, the watch would have been stunning ! The date window cuts the scale and gives the proof that the case is bit too large for the movement. It is a pity that they didn't have the wish to avoid it. Fr.Xavier
I have to agree, and I made comment on it when I previewed the new lines and models. BUT..
Hi, I was fortunate to have the privilege of previewing the new models. One word - very very nice, some even stunning! And if one takes into consideration the price point (PuristS usually consider price last) they are pretty awesome! So awesome, I've been...
Very compelling chronograph
Baume and Mercier you have gone on my radar screen. I do wish there was no date but I'm hoping that it's forgiven when I see the price! Well done.
very nice chrono
I must say that I am impressed. I do agree that the date looks a little weird. Best regards, George
Handsome watches that are ALMOST there for me.
First, kudos to Baume & Mercier for bringing out these new and very handsome models. There is a lot to like about these pieces, and depending upon retail price point, maybe a heck of a lot to like about them! Some thoughts as to what would really push the...
irksome is a word that I rarely get a chance to see
these days - and, coming from you Daos, gives me far greater pleasure than a picture of the Classima. As for the others, the placement of a date window at the well-known (and tiresome) position between 4 and 5 reminds me reminds me of a trepanation, that ...
Oh, Amery. You are such a delight!
I always enjoy your posts, which are never irksome! Yes, the curse of the date window seems to always haunt me. How many watches have I ALMOST loved, only to be turned off by an ill-conceived date display -- or the worst case scenario for me, the dreaded ...
Don't mess up a good thing
The 1948 was perfectly designed, but most likely, well out of my reach today. Like that single pusher, too. This new version is great, but I would have preferred the smaller subdials fitting within the confines of the dial graphics. A cream dial would hav...
Yeah...
...the date window isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, but the classic version is so perfect! Sometimes newer isn't better. Cheers, Daos
All very lovely, but...
...why no cream dial? Why no rectangular pushers (or, better yet, rectangular pusher...)? Even so, 9/10 for effort - on the plus side, the larger sub-dials are an improvement on the original. [Disclaimer - written by a loud and proud B&M chrono owner]. Ch...

Capeland Chronograph diameter is 42 mm (nt)
For those who asked: Capeland Chronograph 42 mm diameter
Critical moments...
Baume and Mercier has approached a critical moment in life. Good luck to them and I look forward to seeing these watches in the flesh.
Thanks MTF
The hestoric watches are a WOW from Baume & Mercier a step a head for the brand ... Faisal
This is a big surprise from B&M!
I don't mind the date window. Its look outclasses many brands' chrono. Regards Ling
I'm not fussed about the date window either although
I would not mind if it was omitted, as we almost never use the date window on a watch these days, unless it is a specific function like annual or perpetual calendar watch. Regards, MTF
