Today marks the global launch of Baume, a new watch brand from the Richmont Group, Baume launches with an innovative mindset and a commitment to create design in sustainable, recycled, and up-cycled materials.
Two collections have been created for the launch: The Iconic Series and the Custom Timepiece Series.
Built through a minimalist design philosophy, Baume’s Iconic Series watch is the brand’s flagship, crafted as the expression of recycling and up-cycling principles. Updated seasonally, this automatic movement timepiece is crafted in aluminium with a 100 per cent recycled PET bracelet. It will be released in a variety of designs, materials, and colors.
Baume’s Custom Timepiece Series is a fully customizable offering, designed through an online configurator with more than 2000 permutations.
Customer collaborators choose case-sizes of 35mm or 41mm, components, and movements to create thousands of unique designs.
The collection offers a wealth of individuality within the Baume aesthetic through a contemporary approach that pairs creativity and functionality while promoting consideration.
Co-creation pushes the consumer to ask questions about his/her everyday choices, including a commitment to a better environmental future.
“Our goal is to fulfill the utmost standards of quality and craftsmanship, while committing to the power of collaboration within a circular economy,” says Baume Brand leader Marie Chassot.
