2018 was a year full of surprises and innovations for the famous Swiss watch brand Baume & Mercier. Because the brand launched the Curiton Baumatic ™ watch, which was newly developed by Baume & Mercier and Richemont Group, at the SIHH watch exhibition this year. Performance: accurate and reliable travel time, with strong anti-magnetic ability (up to 1500 Gauss), 120 hours (ie 5 days) power reserve function. In addition, this new timepiece has after-sales service guarantee for up to 36 months (that is, 3 years), which brings strong competitiveness to the brand. Taking advantage of the Baume & Mercier Baumatic ™ launch conference, Watch House and Baume & Mercier’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Daniel Braillard, started a conversation about new movement products and brand markets:

Baume & Mercier Chief Operating Officer Mr Daniel Braillard

The new Baume & Mercier Baumatic ™ watch

Home of Watches: Baume & Mercier launched this year’s outstanding Baumatic ™ movement. It also has a power reserve of up to 120 hours and excellent anti-magnetic performance. It is not easy to achieve such excellent performance. Have you encountered any difficulties?
 Mr. Daniel Braillard: Actually, we had two problems when creating this movement. 1. Development cooperation: The overall cooperation in research and development of new movements not only stays at the technical level, but also takes into account the entire Baume & Mercier brand company and even It is the coordination and communication of the various departments of the group and the center. For example, during the research and development of new technologies, we include some of the training and production of watchmakers, and the overall control of the release process. 2. Because the new movement is excellent in terms of performance and technology, how to set prices to give it more market competitiveness is also a question that needs to be considered. Like the Crichton Baumatic ™ watch equipped with it, we must also ensure that it has a more notarized price in different countries around the world, because different countries’ tariffs cause differences in prices, and now consumers can access the Internet, etc If you find the price of the watch in different regions, then we will also make the new Baumatic ™ watch in China more transparent and reasonable within our capabilities, so that more customers can see the price of this watch. Cost-effective.

Watch House: We know that the current new movement is mainly used in the brand’s Crichton series, so will it be available to other Richemont brands in the future?
 Mr. Daniel Braillard: The Baumatic ™ movement will only be used for Baume & Mercier watches. But in fact, there are many outstanding performances and technologies on this movement that are worth promoting. For example, an application of silicon material, including a new silicon escapement, can improve the shape of the movement while providing more dynamic storage. Space, like these technologies and performance, can be promoted to Richemont Group, or to brands outside the group. But this movement is only exclusive to the Baume & Mercier brand.

Watch House: After Mr. Chen Kun became the global ambassador of Baume & Mercier, how did the product market perform?
Mr. Daniel Braillard: We know that Mr. Chen Kun is a very influential singer and actor in China. His own image is also in line with the concept of ‘contemporary celebrity’ advocated by the brand. He is also very happy to promote products for us, including he actively wears his Baume & Mercier watch to attend various commercial events and public occasions. So for his fans or the Chinese market, it is a good exposure. With his positive and elegant personality, he helps Baume & Mercier to establish a better brand image in the eyes of domestic consumers. Last year we also launched a special star cooperation fund for Mr. Chen Kun for the Chinese market. This watch is very popular in China and its performance in the market is also very good.

Watch House: Some brands have opened special offers for China, such as extended warranty and unified pricing. Will the Baume & Mercier brand have related marketing strategies?
Mr. Daniel Braillard: We already have relevant marketing strategies, but not only domestically, but also worldwide. Because we are particularly confident in our new movement products, it is stipulated that as long as users registered on the official website of the brand, they can enjoy the extended warranty for one year. Of course, for the domestic market, we launched a special public figure and a specific time payment to further expand the brand promotion. For the star models that have cooperated with Mr. Chen Kun mentioned previously and the wedding seasons such as September and October, a specific type of ‘Long Love You’ pair watch (a homonym of 920) was launched. At 9 o’clock, a diamond that stands for eternity embodies China’s special culture of numbers, in order to wish the wearer a beautiful meaning of ‘long and long’ love. Next, we will focus on market demand and launch more watches with special meanings for watch enthusiasts to choose.

Summary: In a cozy and comfortable banquet environment, we ended our discussion with Mr. Daniel Braillard, Chief Operating Officer of Baume & Mercier. In his confident conversation, it is not hard to see that he has high hopes for the new Baume & Mercier Baumatic ™ watch models and the market performance of the entire brand. We also believe that timepieces with such good performance will win the love of cousins ​​and become their good companions on the wrist.
