The Manufacturered Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for Balmer watches ranges between $2,600 to $4,200. Therefore, our catalog contains just a few of the thirty-two styles available from Balmer. All styles have automatic movements thereby eliminating the need for a battery. They are available with stainless steel bracelets or genuine leather straps. All feature an "exhibition" back that allows viewing of the watch's inner workings. The Balmer Watch Collection also features sapphire crystals that protect them from scratches. HISTORY: Just before the dawn of the twentieth century, the Geneva watch firm of Colomb & Balmer became successor of interest to J.J. Badollet, another name famously associated with the Swiss city of Geneva for its fine watches. To say that Colomb & Balmer saw this as an opporunity and made the most of it would be an understatement. Badollet was a legendary name in Swiss watch making that carried skills and traditions going back three generations. By 1796, the Badollet trademark was recognizable at a glance by the lion rampant facing right holding a serpent, enclosed in a shield. After seven years of product development in Neuchatel, Switzerland, this prestigious brand was reintroduced as simply Balmer. Balmer watches are about timeless quality, if there is such a thing. STATEMENT: In addition to the beautiful and prestigious styles of Balmer watches, they are limited in the number available; usually 100 to 200 pieces. The watches are also serial numbered and come with a letter of authenticity. A one-year international warranty against material defect is offered by the manufacturer. Prices on our website for Balmer watches are discounted 80% to 90% from the MSRP and include Free Shipping. |
