Baume & Mercier – Clifton Club, for “gentlesportsmen” Replica Buying Guide

Are you an active and modern professional who has made sport part of your daily life ? Are you looking for a watch to accompany you around the clock : in the office, at the gym or on the golf course at lunchtime, as well as for an evening at the club house ? If your philosophy is about keeping “a healthy mind in a healthy body”, the Clifton Club is your watch.

This refined and athletic model combines performance with precision. Its polished/satin-finished stainless steel case, featuring elaborate curves comprising an integrated bracelet and crown guard, houses a Swiss made self-winding movement whose reliability has notably been confirmed by 550G shock tests. Water-resistant to 100m, this versatile watch has no fear of diving into a pool, while its green luminescent numerals – clearly visible on the black dial – will enable you to keep check on the duration of your paragliding flight as nightfall approaches.

And for gentlemen motorbike riders, Baume & Mercier has just launched a limited dedication of the Clifton Club – at the Wheels & Waves California event – with a commemorative caseback engraving of legendary speed races.

Clifton Club 10340
The motion featured here’s your durable Valjoux 7753 that delivers a sufficient 48-hour electricity book. The 7753 is visible through the case back through another sapphire crystal and defeats at 28,800vph. This is the same movement as was housed in the previous Baume & Mercier Capeland Shelby Cobra Limited Edition watches, and while the 7753 may not be the prettiest of motions, you are not always buying this watch for your case-back. You’re buying this watch for its sporty design and racing legacy it’s intended to honor.Each of the four Baume & Mercier Legendary Driver Capeland Shelby Cobra watches is limited to a 15-piece run and will be available only in North America at the Feldmar Watch Company in Los Angeles, CA, and Ca D’Oro at Las Vegas, NV, beginning in October 2016. Pricing is $4,850. When it comes to apparel watches, it looks like purists appear to prefer a smaller (generally round) black dial using a simple two-hander movement. While I appreciate a good dress watch, I am more than willing to deviate from the “black tie” standard, as it’s handy to mix up things now and again. For instance, I actually favor a white dialup, and if you swap that situation shape out to some compact rectangle, you have what we’re looking at today — the Baume & Mercier Hampton.And a compact case it’s, measuring in at 42.6mm x 29.2mm, using an instance thickness of 8.1mm. That said, that depth measurement may be a bit misleading, because of one of those very sudden (but pleasant) surprises with the Baume & Mercier Hampton, it is sapphire crystal. You might be thinking, well, what is so special about this? You may actually see a large portion of this curve because of how the case sides scoop down from it. Does this give you an opinion of the crystal, but it keeps the faces of the watch from appearing to be overly thick.
