Baume & Mercier Clifton Small Complications: Clifton Complete Calendar (M0A10450), Power Reserve, Retrograde Day and Date (M0A10449) and Clifton Open Balance Wheel and Power Reserve (M0A10448)
As part of the Clifton collection, Baume & Mercier reveals three new watches with emblematic functions and elegant designs. Models include new Small Complications integrated on the matte white dials: the Complete Calendar, the Retrograde Date and the Power Reserve.
Each of the three Clifton Small Complication models contains a self-winding movement within a 43mm polished and satin-finished steel case of which the streamlined horns offer optimal comfort in wear.
Each piece is carefully finished and completed by a sapphire glass back, revealing the movement, and is mounted on an intense blue alligator strap that fastens with a secure triple folding buckle.
Baume & Mercier Clifton – The Complete Calendar
Inspired by “vintage” designs, the first model features a complete, clear and easy-to-read calendar. Two apertures display the day and month, while a blued hand indicates the date. The moon phase elegantly completes the white dial.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back is the Dubois Dépraz 9000 automatic movement.

Baume & Mercier Clifton – Open Balance Wheel and Power Reserve
The final Small Complication model also features a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock. On this model, Baume & Mercier decided to unveil part of the movement by skeletonizing the dial at 12 o’clock. Fine watch aficionados will enjoy observing the oscillations of the balance wheel and the beat of the escapement anchor through the opening in the dial.
The watch is powered by a Soprod 9040 automatic movement that can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back.
