His father was a Tsarist officer. Paul was hired as a lift attendant at the age of ten. The young boy was extremely hard working and acceptionally intelligent. He spent as much time as possible learning and educating himself. Inspite of his humble begining at the age of ten, he could speak seven languages at the age of thirty five. This could not have been possible with out an extraordinary brain and a brilliant memory. He picked up number of communicative skills on his way, which facilitated him to a regular job at Haas Watchmakers.
His acumen of the trade earned him promotion to the post of business manager. Looks like the ten year old Paul absorbed what ever world offered him, keeping his mind open to ideas and disguised opportunities. This was the start of his long association with the fascinating world of fashion watches. The jewelry fashion watches of Haas became well known and so did the name Mercier.
With all the know how and experience of watch business, Paul Mercier joined hands with a Swiss luxury watch maker William Baume to establish the ‘Baume & Mercier’ brand. ‘Baume’ watches were already a well established brand of high end traditional watches.
Which proudly traced its history of watch manufacture to 1830. The Baume & Mercier watches became synonyms with rich heritage of watch movements and perfection of time measuring devices. This ‘Brand par excellence’ was born in Geneva on 27th August, 1920. Paul Mercier’s choice of Baume watches and ensuing co-operation with it proved to be a mile stone. Baume & Mercier won a diploma from the Geneva Watchmaking Senior Committee, in less than one year.
The State Official Bureau the Poincon de Geneve, certified that the Baume & Mercier Company uses Maximum number of hallmark stamped pieces.
The new pair of celebrities to become ambassadors of the brand for 2010 are, actress Evangeline Lilly (in Lost) and actor David Duchovny (in X-Files).

It makes the year 2010 look like the year of executives watches, until the brand has something else up their selve.
Any ways, it is not essential to be an executive to own a Classima Executives XL. It isn’t essential to be rich either. The replica Baume & Mercier watches are there to everyones rescue. However the users of (replica) fake Mercier watches are advised to avoid shower, swimming and diving when wearing it. Because the fake Mercier is not as waterproof as its original.
