Introducing: Merci Instruments Launches Six New Versions of its Geometric ‘Beaumarchais’

The model, named after watchmaker-turned-writer Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (and the boulevard that houses the Merci Paris flagship), retains the tight 36mm by 10mm case with octagonal bezel, angular cushion case, and brushed and polished surfaces. Inside is the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, with a 40-hour power reserve. The variation comes through dials (and straps as well). There are six dial options shown in the story. Five of those dials are like the Hodinkee version, with a raised center circle and an outer ring, while one features an octagonal center. Colors vary from hues of blue to grey or even green. The main thing that stands out is how the watches play with depth on the dial and combine it with different indices, like faceted or even star-shaped applied markers.
