Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph
Live from SIHH 2014 we gave you a look at one of the new complications introduced into the Baume & Mercier Clifton collection, fake tag heuer watch the Clifton Retrograde Date Automatic. Baume & Mercier also added a chronograph to the mix. It's a simple three-register chrono with day and date indicators and relatively conservative styling. The details are executed nicely and coming in at under $4,000 it offers a pretty nice complete package at a reasonable price.
When Baume & Mercier launched the Clifton collection this time last year, the initial offerings included time-only, GMT, and complete calendar models. They all shared 1950s-style Arabic numerals mixed with teardrop-shaped batons on the dials, simple but robust case shapes, and quality (if not particularly unique) movements. Aside from the case sizes being a little larger than we'd like ideally (41-43mm), breitling replicas watches these are modern watches that really appeal to someone who likes a vintage aesthetic.
The Clifton Chronograph maintains all of these traits while introducing a new complication to the collection. new rolex watches The dial packs in a lot of information without looking overcrowded. There are those familiar applied Arabic numerals at 2, 4, 8, and 10 and only a handful of printed numerals on the other indicators. Otherwise, the dial is kept uncluttered by the use of different length hash marks instead of a ton of numbers. Smart move.
Clifton Chronograph Day and Date Windows
At 3 o'clock there are day and date windows, underlined by the Baume & Mercier signature. Opposite that you'll find the running seconds subdial. At 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock are the 30-minutes and 12-hour registers for the chronograph. These, as well as the outer seconds track, have blue accents to visually differentiate them from the main timekeeping registers. Sometimes on vintage chronographs the hands will be a different color, and it's likely that this is a play on that idea. The subregisters are set into the brushed dial and offer a little visual contrast.
There are two dial colors available, the first with gold hands and markers, the other with blue hands and silver markers. Both come on either an alligator leather strap (brown for the gold, black for the blue) or a 7-link steel bracelet. The best thing here is that there is only a $100 up-charge for going with the bracelet over the strap.
Valjoux 7750 Movement In The Clifton Chronograph
Powering the Clifton Chronograph is a Valjoux 7750 with a Baume & Mercier branded rotor. The plates and bridges all have perlage finishing as well, and you can see the whole affair through the sapphire window on the caseback. Activating the chronograph feels pretty crisp and the oval pushers have some vintage appeal.
Slightly Thick 43mm Clifton Case
As with the rest of the Clifton collection, if we have one criticism, it's the case size. This is a really nice chronograph with a reliable movement, classic styling,
and nice attention to detail, but at 43mm it's pushing the upper limit.
The Clifton Chronograph is $3,800 on an alligator strap and $3,900 on the steel bracelet. For more, visit Baume & Mercier online.
