A 30-second glimpse of the new Linea from Baume & Mercier.
They say: “Radiating a powerful presence, the numerals enliven the discreet dial and endow it with a highly distinctive identity”.
We say: watch the video :-)
Yesterday I posted details about the $5K Baume and Mercier Classima ‘Jump Hour’ limited edition.
Today the nice folks at B&M have posted up a YouTube video showing the watch in action, as well as some 3D views for your voyeuristic pleasure.

The jump hour window tucks into the off centered minutes dial, while the seconds counter intersects in a balanced inverted figure eight.
