Baume & Mercier Diamond Covered Wristwatch c1950

This dazzling mid-century beauty by Baume & Mercier is more than meets the eye– its glamorous diamond starburst hides a working watch! From its striking centerpiece to its sparkling strap, every surface of this timepiece is inlaid with brilliant diamonds. All set in bright, reflective white gold, their fiery sparkle is amplified and accentuated. At its very center is a stack of a larger diamond between two smaller stones that come together in elevated prongs and give the impression of a single marquise-cut. A halo of small round diamonds surrounds the base of the prongs, delineating the elegant shape. The centerpiece is completed with a skirt of radiating marquise shapes that shine outward like sunbeams with diamonds centered in each. This stunning display is set on a tension hinge that stays securely closed unless flipped open, revealing its exquisitely simple dial. Fully serviced and in excellent condition, its high-end, mechanical Swiss 17 jewel movement guarantees this timepiece is as punctual as it is beautiful. The watch is completed with a gorgeous strap of square shaped links that are each set with a diamond and graduate in size that elegantly tapers from its case to its clasp. Exquisite form meets fabulous function in this incredible covered watch!
