Baume & Mercier Genève 18k Gold Chronograph Vintage Watch

A fine vintage Baume & Mercier Genève from mid-20th-century (likely 1940s–1950s), two-register chronograph in 18k Yellow Gold, Case Diameter 37 mm with crown, Movement Valjoux 92

A refined testament to mid-century Swiss watchmaking, this Baume & Mercier Genève chronograph embodies the quiet confidence and classical elegance that define the brand’s golden era. Housed in a warm yellow-gold case, its silhouette is delicately balanced—slender lugs, polished edges, and a timeless round profile that sits with understated distinction on the wrist.

The dial presents a beautifully aged cream-toned patina, the sort that can only form naturally over decades. Its refined layout features applied triangular hour markers and Arabic numerals at 12 and 6, each rendered in matching gold tone that harmonizes with the case. The dual-register chronograph configuration showcases two exquisitely engine-turned subdials: a 30-minute counter at three o’clock and a running seconds register at six. Each features concentric guilloché that catches light with subtle brilliance.

A blued central chronograph hand and gold leaf-style hands enhance the watch’s vintage charm, while the outer tachymeter scale, printed in a handsome deep blue, speaks to its functional heritage as a gentleman’s timing instrument.

The gold pushers—rectangular, crisp, and original—frame the fluted crown, completing a façade that is as distinguished as it is authentic. Paired with a richly textured black reptile-pattern strap, the watch exudes cultivated sophistication.
