I just got this beautiful watch around Valentine’s Day. (By the way ladies here is a great gift idea for your man for V-day.) I am so pleased with it, I wanted to share it with you. It is the Baume et Mercier Capeland Chronograph.
It has a nice heavy feel, beautiful dial with arabic numbers, and a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. It is water-resistant to 100 meters, with the help of a screw down crown. It is powered by a Valjoux 775o automatic movement with some nice embellishments, unfortunately it has a solid case back so you can’t view it.
I always loved the classic black dial on stainless. Bracelet or strap, I don’t care which, however, this piece deserves a nice panther link bracelet. I also really love the strongly luminous hands and indicators on the dial. It is gorgeous.
I wore it today with a black french-cuffed shirt (French cuffs are the best) and my black pearl cuff links. Plays nicely don’t you think? The crystal has a nice slight bubble top shape that is kind of reminiscent of a pearl so I thought it was appropriate.
With Pearls
To top it all off I have to share this with you as well, not only does Baume Mercier make beautiful watches, but their advertising agents are genius. Here is the best watch ad ever:

Howdy! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept preaching about this. I am going to forward this
information to him. Pretty sure he will have a great read.
Thanks for sharing!
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and actual
effort to generate a superb article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a
lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.
I all the time used to study article in news papers but now as I
am a user of web so from now I am using net for articles or
reviews, thanks to web.
