Help identifying a vintage Baume et Mercier
Hello all - this is my first post so I hope I’m in the right spot. I stumbled across this piece in a vintage watch and clock repair shop in Italy. The man spoke no English, but through Google Translate he shared the following:
- Believed to be from the 1950s
- The person who brought it in suggested it was a gift for Air Force officers after illustrious careers (unclear which country’s Air Force)
- Valjoux 69 movement
- Chronograph and time-keeping work perfectly well
- Everything appears to be original
I sent images to Baume et Mercier and they were unable to identify this particular watch, which they said is common for pieces this old. I have no information on this, can’t find anything that looks like it online, and would LOVE any help learning anything I can about this watch. Thank you!
