Thank you for choosing a Baume&Mercier watch. You have
acquired a timepiece which combines aesthetic design with
technical performance.
Baume &Mercier: two names which evoke an exceptionally
long-lived watchmaking heritage and an expertise fostered
within the most perfect tradition of the greatest Swiss
Maisons d’Horlogerie.
Since 1830, from generation to generation, from family
ties to friendship ties, from sophisticated complications to
visionary innovations, the family dream continues to be
fulfilled and Baume&Mercier watches continue to embody
the ideal of perfection sought after by the company’s
founders.
The House’s motto is one of no compromise: “Accept
only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest
quality.”
This quest for technical and aesthetic excellence is
represented by the Greek letter Phi, Antiquity’s symbol
for the Golden Ratio and Baume & Mercier’s designated
emblem.
Phi is the sign of recognition among connoisseurs of
Baume & Mercier, united by the same generous and
relaxed vision of life. By selecting a timelessly beautiful
Baume & Mercier watch, you have also selected a memory-
keeper, a souvenir of a cherished moment.
Authenticity, emotion and closeness are the foundations of
Baume &Mercier’s international renown.

I. PRINCIPAL WATCH FUNCTIONS AND COMPLICATIONS
POWER RESERVE
A hand indicates how much of the watch’s power supply
remains (for both self-winding and hand-wound watches).
DUAL TIME
A watch equipped with a dual time complication is able to
indicate a “2nd time zone”. This second time can be read on
a central hand or a hand located in a dial graduated from
1 to 24.
In practice, the main hour hand is typically set to the local
time of where one is during one’s travels, and the time of
the second time zone can specify the time where one lives,
for example.
CHRONOGRAPH
A chronograph is a watch which can measure a period of
elapsed time. A chronograph model generally also contains
a central seconds hand for counting seconds, a counter for
totaling minutes and another for totaling hours.
FLYBACK
The flyback function means exactly what it says, to
“fly backward”: it allows the wearer to move from one
chronograph reading to another in a single button push
instead of three.
TACHYMETER
Scale used to measure average speed in km/h based on the
time needed to traverse 1000 m.
For example, to measure your average speed while driving,
start the chronograph at a roadside mile marker, then stop
it exactly 1 km farther on (next mile marker). The seconds
hand uses the tachymeter scale to indicate your average speed
in km/h for the kilometer you just traveled.
TELEMETER
Scale used to measure the distance separating an observer
from a phenomenon which is first visible and then audible.
Its graduation is based on the speed of sound (343 m/s).
For example, to determine a storm’s distance from the
wearer, start the chronograph at the first appearance of
lightning ; then stop it when the thunder can be heard.
Look at the dial of your watch, the seconds hand uses the
“telemetric scale” to indicate the distance separating you
from the place where the lightning occurred.
MOON PHASE
Watches with a moon-phase complication display the cycles
of the moon on their dial (first quarter, full moon…). Moon
phases are generally displayed using a moving disk which
makes one rotation every lunar month (29 and one half day).
001-224_COR4.indd 3 08.01.15 07:59

ANNUAL CALENDAR
Annual calendar is a movement function which handles the
difference between 30 and 31-day months automatically,
without a manual date adjustment. Only one adjustment
per year is needed, at the end of February.
COMPLETE CALENDAR
The full calendar is the term used to describe a watch that
indicates:
§The date (manual date adjustment for each month of
less than 31 days)
§The day of the week
§The month of the year
WORLDTIMER
Worldtimer watches, also called “world time” or “universal
time”, indicate, in addition to local time, the time of the 24
time zones around the world via a 24-hour disc to index to
the 24 cities indicated on the dial. This makes it possible to
identify the 24 zones in which cities are found.
At any time, you can find out the time in 24 major cities
(representing each time zone) while viewing the time of the
city where you live or are traveling.
RETROGRADE DISPLAY
A display is considered retrograde when one of the hands
(the retrograde hand) moves backward after having reached
its final mark.

II. MECHANICAL WATCHES
A.GENERAL INFORMATION
WATCH PRECISION
A mechanical movement, whether manual or automatic (self-
winding), is a complex assembly of gears, gear trains and other
components often not much bigger than a single strand of hair.
A watch’s precision is determined by the spiral balance wheel,
the heart of the watch, which regulates the rate of time through
its oscillations. Oscillation frequency varies depending on the
model and can be anywhere between 3 and 4 hz, it is therefore
important to bear in mind that, despite the great care taken in
assembling your watch and its movement, it is nevertheless not
as precise as a quartz watch, with an oscillation of 32,000 hz.
Further, rate variations may still occur, caused by a variety
of factors, including impact, the aging of the oils, significant
temperature fluctuations, magnetic fields and wearer activity.
In general and depending on the model, your watch time may
vary by 1 to 2 minutes per week.
B. USER GUIDE
This guide explains all the functions available for different
Baume &Mercier watch models.
To adjust your watch, please identify its icon XX , and refer to the
diagram located on the inside cover of this guide, then follow the
directions corresponding to your model.
Note on screw-down crowns: Your Baume&Mercier watch may
come with a screw-down crown. If so, you must first unlock
the screw-down crown by turning it counter-clockwise before
adjusting the date or the time or winding the watch.
Once you have finished adjusting your watch, press lightly
on the crown while turning gently clockwise, tightening it
down again until you feel some resistance. If the crown is
not correctly screwed-down, your watch may no longer be
completely water-resistant.
WINDING
Hand-wound mechanical watch
Warning: Do not turn beyond its pre-determined blocking
point, otherwise you may damage the movement.
001-224_COR2.indd 5 06.01.15 10:46

Crown in Position 1: turn crown clockwise. The watch is
fully wound when the crown can no longer be turned.
The power reserve of a mechanical watch varies, depending
on the model, between approximately 40 and 90 hours 5.
We recommend you wind it once a day if it has a power
reserve less than 48 hours.
Self-winding mechanical watch
A watch equipped with an automatic winding mechanism
automatically winds itself throughout the day as you move
your wrist.
Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to
the wearer’s wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch
may not wind itself correctly. For optimal winding, wear your
watch daily.
If you have not worn your watch for more than 40 hours,
you must wind it manually by turning the crown in Position
1, clockwise, between 20 and 30 turns.
After wearing your watch for several hours, depending on
your activity level, the watch will be perfectly wound.
Once completely wound, your watch has a power reserve of:
§Approx. 40 hours 2468910 11 13 14 15 16 17
20 26
§Approx. 48 hours 19 21 22 23 24 25
§Approx. 65 hours 18
POWER RESERVE 910 13 14
For models with a power reserve indicator, the hand (L)
indicates, on a scale which may vary per model, the amount
of time remaining until the watch must be wound again.
When the watch is entirely wound, the indicator sits at its
maximum position.

III. QUARTZ WATCHES
A.GENERAL INFORMATION
A quartz watch is powered by a battery which generally lasts
between 2 to 6 years depending on the model.
The majority of our quartz watches, having a central seconds
hand, come equipped with a system to indicate a low battery
(EOL – End of Life). Approximately two weeks before the
battery will stop, the central seconds hand will begin to jump
every four seconds as a signal to the wearer that the battery
must be changed.
Batteries must be changed by an authorized Baume&Mercier
retailer or After-Sales Service Center to insure that the
battery and any other maintenance meet Baume& Mercier’s
standards. Respecting this requirement is imperative in
connection with the International Guarantee.
COLLECTION AND TREATMENT OF END OF
LIFE QUARTZ WATCHES*
Quartz watches contain a battery as well as
other electronic components. When your watch
is serviced, your authorized Baume & Mercier
retailer or After-Sales Service Center will
take care of storing and disposing of these
components in compliance with current laws.
This symbol indicates that this product should
not be disposed with household waste. It has
to be returned to a local authorized collection
system. By following this procedure you will contribute
to the protection of the environment and human health.
The recycling of the materials will help to conserve
natural resources.
*Valid in EU member states and in any countries with
corresponding legislation.
Note: Since 2011, all batteries used in Baume & Mercier
watches are mercury-free.
PRECISION OF A QUARTZ WATCH
Quartz watches are extremely precise. This is due to the
high frequency of their vibrations (32 kHz). Their precision
(fast or slow) deviates by approximately 1 minute per year.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CARE
Your Baume & Mercier watch was both designed and
manufactured with great care. It contains a great number
of very delicate components, which is why we encourage
you to be careful, avoid any impact to the watch, avoid
any erroneous adjustments, and protect it from impact and
extreme temperature variations.
Furthermore, a watch is something rare in that it works
continuously, 24 hours a day. For optimal reliability and
for the longevity of your watch, we recommend having your
watch serviced every 3 to 5 years.
BAUME& MERCIER AUTHORIZED AFTER-
SALES SERVICE CENTERS
Baume& Mercier watches are maintained by an international
network of After-Sales Service Centers which meet the
highest quality requirements of Swiss watchmaking.
Approved through a demanding selection process, only a
Baume &Mercier authorized retailer or After-Sales Service
Center is authorized to perform service on your watch.
These centers undergo regular training provided by the
brand, thus guaranteeing an irreproachable service quality
by using specially-designed tools meant for repairing
Baume &Mercier watches and by replacing worn parts with
original components. Furthermore, tests are conducted using
up-to-date and reliable quality controls.
Any repair work not carried out by a Baume &Mercier
authorized retailer or After-Sales Service Center will not be
covered by the Baume & Mercier warranty. Also excluded
from warranty coverage are watches not containing original
Baume &Mercier parts.
Furthermore, to safeguard your watch, please read the
following recommendations for use and care:
MECHANICAL WATCH MAINTENANCE
In the event that your watch will not be worn for several
months, we recommend you wind your mechanical watch
regularly so that the oils do not seize, thus disrupting proper
functioning of the movement.
WATER-RESISTANCE
Baume &Mercier watches are water-resistant up to at least
30 meters. If a model’s water-resistance goes beyond 30
meters, the depth is indicated on the back of the case.
When a watch is water-resistant its movement is protected
from dust, humidity and any risk of damage caused by
immersion.
The water-resistance of a watch comes from its joints.
Because these joints are exposed to different types of
external stress (cosmetics, perspiration, temperature
changes), your watch may become less water-resistant with
time. As a consequence, we recommend you have your watch
checked every 12 to 24 months to guarantee it remains fully
water-resistant.
