Baume & Mercier is one of my favorite brands right now, and pieces like this are exactly why. The asymmetrical case, braided 18k gold finish, and onyx and mother-of-pearl dial give it so much character without trying too hard.

The 18k case measures 22 x 32mm and is in great condition, featuring a braided finish and engraved serial and reference numbers on the caseback.

The mother-of-pearl and onyx dial is in mint condition.

The mechanical movement is winding well and running smoothly.

Stone dial magic!
