What to know

Baume & Mercier has added reference M0A10896 to the Joia collection, announced on 14 October 2026. Its compact, lug-free steel case meets a gold-tone 4N PVD bezel, with matching accents running through the integrated bracelet. The result emphasises Joia’s role as a piece of jewellery as well as a timekeeper.
