Baume & Mercier Baume Skate 10653 Aurélien Giraud Special Edition features the minimalist design of the Baume collection, which is characterised by its unconventional and clean appearance. The model is a choice for those looking for an unconventional men's watch suitable for everyday use.
The Baume collection stands out within the brand for its distinctly different design. It follows the avant-garde models with which the brand has historically been associated. Baume & Mercier Baume combines creativity, comfort and the brand's concern for environmental protection. The collection is characterised by 3 features - a crown at 12 o'clock as a reminder of pocket watches, a strap attached to movable parts for greater comfort on the wrist, and straps without a conventional spring bar system, attached with buttons.
The model is a special edition created in collaboration with Aurélien Giraud, a leading French professional street skateboarder and world champion in the sport. Skateboarding is the central inspiration for the watch's design.
The Baume & Mercier Baume Skate M0A10653 Aurélien Giraud Special Edition is a modern-looking watch that combines style with an alternative approach to watchmaking. The dark dial has a rough surface inspired by skateboard grip tape. The time is displayed by a contrasting blue minute hand and disc. The dial features all of Aurélien's favourite colours.
It is powered by a Swiss mechanical Sellita SW200 automatic movement with a power reserve of around 38 hours. The movement has a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour and can be wound using the crown at 12 o'clock. It also features a stop-seconds function when setting the time (hacking).
The distinctive dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with high scratch resistance. Sapphire is also used for the case back, through which the mechanical movement can be observed. The transparent case back is decorated with Aurélien Giraud's signature.
The watch case is a combination of aluminium and wood from skateboard decks. It is complemented by a black strap made of cotton fabric with colourful details. It is attached to the case by buttons on movable aluminium lugs. The strap can therefore be changed easily without tools.
The water resistance of this model is 30 m. The case diameter is 42 mm, making the watch suitable for most men's wrists.
The Baume & Mercier Baume 10653 is a special edition that will appeal to keen skateboarders. It reflects B&M's approach of combining environmental responsibility and innovation, two key concepts in the brand's philosophy. The cases recycle material left over from skateboard production that would otherwise end up as waste.

Baume & Mercier was founded in 1830 in Les Bois, Switzerland, making it the 7th oldest watchmaking brand in the world. The brand was established by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume, who, true to their motto "Accept only perfection, manufacture only watches of the highest quality", created exceptional timepieces with an outstanding reputation that the brand maintains to this day. Baume & Mercier watches combine performance, technological innovation, and refined design, and are still synonymous with top quality.

The brand is recognized as a pioneer in the watchmaking field, producing elegant and avant-garde timepieces that have influenced entire eras and styles. It is known for its iconic Marquise models from the 1940s and its collections Riviera (the Riviera model was first introduced in 1973 and became one of the first steel sports watches) and Hampton.
Among other achievements, the brand boasts its in-house Baumatic automatic movement, offering a power reserve of up to five days and chronometer-level accuracy.
Today, Baume & Mercier is part of the Richemont International SA group, which also includes prestigious watchmaking brands such as Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC Schaffhausen, Van Cleef & Arpels, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Söhne, and others.
