Baume & Mercier Genève Chronograph Ref. 3916 – A Rosé Gold Classic of 1950s Complication

A masterclass in mid-century chronograph design, the Baume & Mercier Genève Ref. 3916 stands as a testament to the brand’s heritage of elegance and horological precision. Housed in a generous 37.5mm oversized case crafted entirely from 18k rosé gold, this timepiece pairs mechanical ingenuity with aesthetic warmth. It’s a watch that captures the romantic spirit of post-war watchmaking, where utility and grace coexisted effortlessly.

18k Rosé Gold Case – Oversized and Refined

Measuring 37.5mm across—a significant diameter for its era—the 18k rosé gold case delivers a powerful wrist presence while retaining balanced proportions. The soft gleam of the gold contrasts with the warm patina of time, highlighting a case design that remains compelling decades after its creation.

Framing the dial is a high-domed plexiglass crystal, original to the watch, which subtly distorts light at its edges—a nostalgic nod to vintage charm. The crown, plated in matching rosé gold, remains period-correct and complements the pump-style chronograph pushers that flank it. Recently serviced by a professional watchmaker, the case retains excellent definition and integrity, backed by a full one-year mechanical warranty.

Telémètre Dial – Precision Meets Poetry

At the heart of the watch lies a stunning multi-scale dial, untouched and original, displaying a light, even patina that speaks to its honest vintage provenance. The layout is a visual feast for enthusiasts: a red télémetre scale encircles the perimeter, designed to calculate distance based on the speed of sound, while a rare snail-style tachymeter scale spirals at the center—a beautifully complex addition used for measuring average speeds over time.

The sub-dials, delicately sunken, remain crisp and proportional. The rosé gold-plated chronograph hand adds a final flourish of color and vintage authenticity. This is a dial that rewards close inspection, where each element reveals the thoughtful craftsmanship of 1950s Swiss watchmaking.

Calibre Landeron 48 – Workhorse with Character

Beating inside is the manual-wind Calibre Landeron 48, a robust and historically significant chronograph movement favored by many high-end manufacturers of the era. Known for its reliable column-pusher system and smooth action, the Landeron 48 offers tactile satisfaction with each reset and precise registration of elapsed time.

Fully serviced and adjusted, this example runs beautifully, delivering performance you can feel in every push of the pusher. The movement's strong architecture ensures it will serve as a reliable daily companion—or a treasured centerpiece in a growing collection.

Need scan button to work!
Pattern Name: Printer, Style: ET-15000
Love (almost) everything about this except the scan button. The scan button on the Epson screen does not work. I called Microsoft who tried to fix it through the connection but still didn't work. Sent an e-mail to Epson and no response. Really need this scan button to work so that I can scan to desktop.

The worst banking experience
Stay away from this card if you want to keep your sanity, they had a welcome offer of $750 that they refused to honor, if you call customer service you will be on hold for 2 hours just for them to transfer the call to someone that doesn't know what they're doing. they still ask you to send them documents by mail or fax to prove you're not lying to them. I closed their card less than a month after opening it, the worst banking experience of my life.
