Baume & Mercier’s William Baume Flying Tourbillon was selected by Carmelo Anthony as today’s Haute Time Watch of the Day.

This amazing timepiece launched as a very limited edition by Baume & Mercier is a perfect tribute to a long history of watchmaking. The William Baume Flying Tourbillon is shown here in 18k rose gold with 43mm case and features sapphire crystal and caseback revealing the beautifully decorated movement.

The tourbillon carriage is visible on the dial at the nine o’clock position and a small seconds display at six o’clock. The 18k rose gold hands sweep over the impressive black dial to display the hours. With a 52 hour power reserve, this hand wound creation is also water resistant to 30 meters and is shown here on a black alligator strap.

Baume & Mercier created only 10 William Baume Flying Tourbillons worldwide, making this an extremely limited piece.
