The Clifton Baumatic developed by Baume & Mercier fulfils every aspect of founders Célestin and Louis-Victor Baume’s motto: "Accept only perfection. Only manufacture watches of the highest quality."
A 40mm case and a refined white dial with a porcelain finish define the exterior of the Clifton Baumatic. Inside, it is powered by a revolutionary mechanical self-winding caliber: simple, powerful and accurate, it is endowed with the most advanced watch technology available today.
Developed in-house in collaboration with the ValFleurier Manufacture and the R&D team at the Richemont Group, this self-winding 12.5” new-generation movement has been named the Baumatic (cal. BM12-1975A). It is the first-ever Baume & Mercier movement.
Amongst this model's value-for-money offerings is an impressive 120-hour (five-day) power reserve, achieved through the use of optimized alloy for the barrel, the escapement with Powerscape™ technology, and the Twinspir™ silicon hairspring. These same elements help ensure an accuracy of between four seconds slow and six seconds fast per day.
Reliability is also greatly improved, reducing the need for maintenance. This is achieved by using new types of oils that can withstand major variations in temperature. It is also achieved by the use of parts that are not sensitive to powerful magnetic fields (1,500 Gauss), meaning the watch will withstand radiation at levels 25 times higher than traditional instruments.
Lastly, the use of proven materials such as the silicon hairspring with Twinspir™ technology, and the new antimagnetic "bumper" bearing the Baume & Mercier "Phi" logo for a subtle signature detail, helps to improve the watch’s accuracy and durability in everyday conditions and reduce the need for maintenance interventions.
Available in four classic designs or as a COSC-certified chronometer for a slightly higher price, the Clifton Baumatic sets a new standard in luxury watches.
With its understated elegance, the Clifton Baumatic delivers accuracy and durability in operation, available as affordable-luxury on the wrist.
