Introducing the Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse

A promise is a commitment to give something to someone, to form a bond. It’s also the name of a ladies’ watch collection launched by Baume & Mercier in 2015 which is now expanding to include a miniature model: Petite Promesse. Small but perfectly formed!

Its white mother-of-pearl dial is sparkles with two diamond markers at 6 and 12 o’clock. A quartz movement brings to life a pair of silver dauphine-shape hands to track the hours and minutes in the centre.

The 22mm steel oval case glitters with two rows of 22 diamonds in a symmetrical crescent moon on the bezel or 44 diamonds on the crown, all brilliant-cut. Stripped of a crown to keep its design clean, Petite Promesse conceals a corrector on its case back. A twin calfskin strap wraps it around the wrist and glows bright orange, sky blue or “quilted” steel.
