The elegant Clifton Baumatic timepieces from Baume & Mercier reflect the brand’s enduring charm, combining refined aesthetics, understated luxury, sleek design, and reliable performance for versatile wear. Keeping this in mind, the Swiss watch brand has introduced two exquisite, new Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic timepieces in gold tones.
Understated Luxury Dressed In Gold Tones
Baume & Mercier’s prestigious Clifton Baumatic collection gets a golden touch with the Clifton Baumatic Date and Moon Phase and the Clifton Baumatic. The former showcases a satin-polished rose gold case, while the latter combines steel with satin-polished rose gold accents. Both timepieces feature gold-plated indexes and hands with exquisite finishing.
The movements in these watches are adorned with circle-grained bridges, a sandblasted and snailed baseplate, and an open-worked gold-plated oscillating weight embellished with an intricate côtes de Genève pattern, underscoring Baume & Mercier’s attention to detail.
These two timepieces boast timeless and versatile design aesthetics. They embody the traditional watchmaking that’s been a part of Baume & Mercier’s DNA since its inception. From the top-notch materials to the carefully crafted textures, colours, and shapes, each watch is quite impressive, even in its own way.
Tinted Elegance: Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic Date And Moon Phase
This exquisite watch is a 39mm vision with a round case meticulously crafted in satin-polished rose gold, complete with a matching rose gold crown. Its domed sapphire crystal glass reveals a finely-grained off-white dial adorned with faceted, riveted indexes in a subtly elongated trapezoid shape. The hands are gracefully gold-plated, including the alpha-shaped hands and a gold-plated counter hand. The dial hosts a newly designed calendar and moon phase indicator, along with a date window framed by a finely diamond-ground, snailed bezel.
Powering this beauty is Baume & Mercier’s automatic Baumatic manufacture movement BM14-1975 AC1. This can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback, secured by four screws, and it can be customised with engravings upon request. Completing the look is a brown alligator interchangeable strap with square scales and a satin-polished rose gold pin buckle.
The Chocolate Clifton Baumatic
The Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic boasts a 40mm case, blending steel with satin-polished rose gold accents and a gold PVD-treated steel crown. What truly sets this timepiece apart is its captivating visual depth, with a luminous chocolate-toned dial that transitions from lighter at the centre to darker at the edges. The dial features white crosshairs at its centre, creating a striking effect with multiple reflections and graduated hues.
Adding to its elegance, the watch showcases slightly elongated, gold-tone trapezoid riveted indexes that complement the gold-plated faceted alpha-shaped hands. The date is prominently displayed at three o’ clock through an enlarged aperture.
Under the hood, this timepiece is powered by the self-winding Baumatic manufacture movement BM13-1975A COSC, delivering precise hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions. It proudly holds a certified COSC chronometer status, ensuring exceptional accuracy. Completing the ensemble is an interchangeable, brown calfskin strap—which almost has a patina look—that can be effortlessly attached or detached with a dependable curved spring bar system, eliminating the need for tools.
In conclusion, the latest additions to the Clifton Baumatic collection by Baume & Mercier epitomise the brand’s unwavering dedication to quality, luxury, and technical prowess. Whether in rose gold or the captivating ‘chocolate’ variation, these watches stand as a testament to Baume & Mercier’s commitment to craft timepieces that present elegance and precision.
