Baume & Mercier presents three new Clifton Baumatic watches. Powered by the BM13 version of the Baumatic calibre, these timepieces combine performance, technical achievement and refined design. They express a combination of watchmaking expertise and contemporary style, which has characterised the Baume & Mercier approach for 189 years.
The dial of each Clifton Baumatic model is enhanced by an oversized date aperture at 3 o’clock and topped with a domed anti-glare sapphire crystal to ensure better readability. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the calibre’s refined finishes: circular-grained bridges and a sand-blasted, snailed baseplate. The open-worked, steel- or gold-toned tungsten oscillating weight is adorned with a decoration combining Côtes de Genève with snailing.
Within the movement, the lyre is shaped like the Phi character, the Baume & Mercier symbol representing the Maison’s quest for perfection. The interchangeable leather straps of the Clifton Baumatic collection enable each one to adapt to various whims.
The self-winding Baumatic movement ensures optimal reliability. In addition to 120 hours (5 days) of autonomy, Clifton Baumatic watches offer great chronometric precision (–4/+6 seconds per day for the COSC-certified models). They resist to the main magnetic fields of daily life. These models only require maintenance service once every seven years rather than three to five years recommended for a traditional watch.
Clifton Baumatic COSC Or Rouge (Red Gold), Reference: 10469
This year, the collection expands with a red gold case and a gradated blue dial. The Clifton Baumatic is the essential companion for aesthetes with assertive tastes in perpetual pursuit of performance and innovation.
The dial, adorned with riveted gold hour markers, has a “warm white” hue with a porcelain-effect finish in perfect harmony with the 18-carat red gold case. A discreet anthracite crosshair on the dial symbolises the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) certification.
The second hand, also anthracite, contrasts with the gold hour and minute hands. With its 39 mm satin finished red gold case, this is the ideal watch for men seeking performance and classical elegance.
