The expansion into luxury watches adds a new tier to our portfolio and we are excited to be working with a brand of such high calibre.”
Baume & Mercier was founded in the Jura region of Switzerland in 1830, and is known for refined design and affordable luxury.
DGA also distributes Swiss brands Luminox and Mondaine, as well as TW Steel, Jag, Limit, Police and the Thomas Sabo watch range.
“We are excited to partner with Duraflex Group,” Romain Lambert, managing director Baume & Mercier South-East Asia and Oceania, said. “It is clear that there is an untapped opportunity to develop a stronger retail network in order to service current and potential Baume & Mercier customers.”
He added, “With our exceptional heritage, the quality of our timepieces and our price positioning, Baume & Mercier is the perfect choice for people wanting to enter the world of luxury Swiss horology.”
