The new Clifton collection for men features nine models evoking the understated elegance of men’s watches from the 1950s. The look is inspired by a vintage 1950s watch in Baume & Mercier’s historical collection. The six Clifton Automatic watches reinforce Baume’s “value for money” argument.
The watches have 41-mm, stainless-steel cases and small seconds and date displays. Inside is an automatic Sellita SW260-1 movement. The suggested retail price is $2,700 on a strap and $2,900 on a seven row bracelet. Two rose-gold Clifton Au- tomatics, with 39 mm cases and Sellita SW300 automatic movements, are priced at $6,450.
The Clifton Complete Calendar ($4,950) has a 43-mm stainless-steel case, with moon-phase display at 6 o’clock, month and day displays below the logo at 12 o’clock, and a central date hand. The watch is powered by a Dubois Dépraz 9000 caliber.
At the top of the line is the Clifton 1830 ($13,950) with a 42-mm rose-gold case and a small seconds display at 6 o’clock. It contains a La Joux-Perret 7381 manual-wound movement, with two barrels delivering 90 hours of power. The movement can be seen through the caseback.
