Baume & Mercier Clifton 1830, the luxury of purity
\n\"BAUME-ET-MERCIER-CLIFTON-10060-SOLDAT<\/a>
\nThis new timepiece in 18K red gold, powered by a manual-winding Manufacture caliber, the archetypal urban timepiece,
\n, is as faithful a reproduction as possible of the historic model that inspired the Clifton collection.
\nThis sober, uncluttered watch, with its curves and taut lines, blends seamlessly into the wrist.
\nAt first glance, nothing suggests the extent of its difference, its emotional power.
\nAnd yet, it was designed to maintain a close relationship with its owners.
\nThis timepiece, a marvel of balance and classic aesthetics, was inspired by the House’s best
\nmodels created during the “Golden Fifties”, but with proportions revisited to meet the demands
\nof today’s trends. This timepiece with its harmonious volumes is discreet and says nothing about its difference,
\nto fit in with the times and speak only to the initiated. For this reason, it will be selected by those who have made the
\nchoice of elegance at the office, and will be called upon to accompany its owners in all of life’s high points.<\/p>\n

A 42 mm watch fashioned from a red gold ingot
\nThis watch, which could be considered the keystone of the Clifton collection, is offered
\nin a 42 mm diameter and fashioned from an 18K red gold ingot. Delicate, it is the result of the work of artists
\nconcerned with offering the best of traditional watchmaking, while meeting the highest contemporary standards
\n. Finished with a polished and satin-finished case, this superlative timepiece is adorned with the very best. Its
\ndial is curved to follow the curvature of the sapphire crystal, whose “chev\u00e9e” shape echoes that of the
\nacrylic crystals used in watches of the past.<\/p>\n

A meticulously worked dial
\nThis curved, opaline silver disk, from which the small second hand counter at 6 o’clock emerges by azure, is adorned
\nwith numerals and hour-markers placed one by one in their respective positions, then meticulously riveted by the back.<\/p>\n

A manufacture caliber adapted for Baume & Mercier
\nDelicate and understated, this watch features a manufacture caliber adapted for
\nBaume & Mercier by the La Joux-Perret factory. This mechanism, referenced 7381, guarantees an autonomy of
\n90 hours, once the springs of the two barrels have been fully reset. Visible through the transparent caseback, this exceptional
\nheart has everything it takes to stand the test of time without ever going out of date. Each part has been
\noptimized to withstand no stress, including the choice of a balance vibrating at a speed of 21,600
\nvibrations per hour. This efficient movement, worthy of the finest chronometers whose expertise Baume & Mercier
\nno longer has to prove, is the pride of watchmakers and will be the pride of its owners, all the more so as it receives
\nsuperior finishing, in line with that of a Manufacture caliber. The bridges, adorned with “c\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve”,
\nthe circular-grained plate and the steel screws, delicately fire-blued, can be viewed through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.<\/p>\n

This new timepiece, with its case fashioned in 18K red gold and water-resistant to 50 meters, is the successful synthesis of
\nknow-how taken to the extreme. ”<\/p>\n

Price: 11,900 euros
