BAUME MERCIER – PROMESSE MOON PHASE

BLUE-HALOED ‘STAR-OF-THE-NIGHT’

The crescent moon crowns the case and dial of this newly-released, poetically-feminine Baume & Mercier-imagined timepiece

A dreamscape, inviting us to subtly escape, a blue-tinted glow, enshrouding us, carrying us away to a fantasy world, a crescent moon, enticing us to lie back, like Pierrot… Just a glimpse of the emotional sensations inspired by Promesse Moon Phase, Baume & Mercier’s delightful end-of-year centrepiece, exclusively created for ladies. No doubt about it, 2017 will be pure poetry!

Promesse Moon Phase nestling in a 34 mm-diameter, 50-metre water-resistant steel case, is complemented by a glossy blue alligator strap. Two peripheral curved-shaped grooves set with fifteen diamonds each, totalling 0.38 carats, form precious interludes along the bezel. These twinkling gems embrace an ethereal blue-lacquered dial that perceptibly deepens from centre to flange, a centrepiece similar to the style obtained using the Sfumato technique. Just like the celestial vault that adds the magic sparkle to its stars at night, the hour chapter features four indexes adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds (0.02 carats) and six silvered pearls. Two small Dauphine hands, set at the heart of the dial, display the hours and minutes.

At the centre of this Baume & Mercier-imagined celestial sphere, at exactly 12 o’clock, a sleekly-bevelled aperture recreates the silhouette of a crescent moon and centre stages four moon phases on a black backdrop interspersed with twinkling stars.

These dome-sapphire protected displays are powered by a Ronda 708 quartz movement.
