This is the latest from Baume & Mercier - the Capeland World Timer!

Capeland Worldtimer, the Globetrotter’s Watch
OVERVIEW

Travel has been at the heart of the Baume & Mercier philosophy from the very first years of the Frères Baume timepiece trading post, founded 183 years ago by Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume. These visionary, businessmen looked to explore new markets outside Europe. This world-encompassing approach is undeniably part of the Baume & Mercier heritage, and has given rise to this latest creation, the Capeland Worldtimer.

The signature pebble-shaped watchcase offers a fully identifiable vintage design. The 44 mm model is available in 18K red gold or polished satin-brushed steel with a restrained but easy-to-read dial in ashen gray or off-white, with a subtle tone-on-tone refinement. This model’s self-winding mechanical movement can be seen through its sapphire case back.

HOW IT WORKS

To display the local time, just select the name of the city corresponding to the time zone where you are, and turn the 24- hour ring until the digit representing the current time is facing it. With the crown in the suitable position, simply adjust the hands. Once these quick adjustments are made and the crown is in place, it is easy to see what time it is all over the world.
