After having paid attention to women’s growing interest in automatic movements, Baume & Mercier revealed its New Linea Collection with an automatic version in a generous 32 mm-diameter case, framing a snailed mother-ofpearl dial and a sapphire crystal case back which reveals an open-worked oscillating weight adorned with the Phi symbol.

Loyal to its principle of interchangeability, the new Linea Automatic comes with a polished and satin-finished steel bracelet complete with triple folding security clasp, and a black satin strap delivered together in the packaging. This additional strap offer is bound to delight women everywhere. And why be shy about the fact that the price superbly illustrates Baume & Mercier’s philosophy of bringing luxury watchmaking within reach? One ‘automatically’ wants to adopt it!
