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 as well as keep it away from extreme 
conditions.
Furthermore, a watch is something rare in that it 
works continuously, 24 hours a day. For optimal re-
liability and for the longevity of your watch, we rec-
ommend the following maintenance schedule:

ì +DYHWKHEDWWHULHVFKDQJHGHYHU\WR\HDUV

depending on the model

ì +DYHD5HJXODU0DLQWHQDQFHDGMXVWPHQWHYHU\

3 to 4 years.

Furthermore, to safeguard your watch please read 
the following recommendations for use and care:

DAY-TO-DAY CARE

To preserve the brilliance of your watch and its 
metal bracelet, if necessary, we recommend you 
brush it gently using a soft brush (a soft toothbrush, 
for example) and warm soapy water. When you have 
finished, rinse it carefully with fresh water and dry it 
with a soft cloth. The same cleaning is recommend-
ed after swimming with your watch in the ocean or 
a swimming pool.

Before cleaning your watch, make certain that the 
crown is tightly closed (pressed or screwed-down, 
depending on the model).

LEATHER STRAP

The life span of a leather strap depends on how of-
ten it is worn and under what conditions.
To conserve your leather strap for as long as pos-
sible, we recommend you keep it away from water, 
humidity, oily materials, and cosmetics as well as 
avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
We recommend you have your leather strap 
changed by a Baume & Mercier agent. The agent will 
be able to offer you an array of leather straps per-
fectly suited to your watch.
