Baume & Mercier – Clifton Baumatic Replica Wholesale Center

Launched six years ago, the Clifton collection exudes an elegant, urban style while upholding traditional watchmaking values. This contemporary addition delivers a new vision for the assortment featuring a 40mm case and a refined white dial with a porcelain finish, making it truly of its time as well as a watch for the future. Most importantly, it is powered by a revolutionary in-house mechanical selfwinding caliber: simple, robust and accurate, it is endowed with the best watch technology available today.

With their refined, porcelain-like finish, the five new models in the Clifton Baumatic™ collection by Baume & Mercier epitomize the brand’s masculine identity. They are coming with an immaculate white or an intense black dial. The understated, easy-to-read display features slender riveted hour-markers, slim lancet hands and an oversized date aperture at 3 o’clock. Topped with a domed sapphire crystal, the minute track – in anthracite gray or white – follows the perfectly proportioned curves of the 40 mm polished/ satin-finished steel case.

Water-resistant to 50 meters, the transparent case back reveals the new Baumatic™ BM12-1975A caliber, the first mechanical self-winding movement developed inhouse, in collaboration with the Richemont group. This timepiece, attaches to the wrist with an alligator strap that fastens with a pin buckle. The strap is easy to change without the need for a tool, and comes in dark blue, deep black or warm brown for the two-tone version. A five-row bracelet in polished/satin-finished steel, which fastens by means of a triple folding buckle with security push-pieces, is also available to complement this line of contemporary watches.

Frankly, I just liked these design cues because they combine up the style of a rectangular watch. Sure, it would be simple to generate a thin rectangular situation, slap a flat crystal on it, and call it a day. With the Baume & Mercier Hampton, you do have that look when viewed from straight on, but if seen at any sort of angle, you find the design work they put in the watch to allow it to stand out out.Tucked to the case (and viewable through the caseback) is a 4 Hz automatic movement, which of course, drives the three hands and the date screen down at 6 o’clock. While I do normally enjoy watching a date display on a watch (especially one that’s very likely to see daily wear obligation, not worn just on special events), here, it feels as though it may be a little bit of a miss. With the numerals after the straight edges of the case and keeping things balanced, the date window just feels marginally off-kilter, both in terms of placement and sizing. These two facets are, of course, restricted with a date wheel (round) in a situation of the shape. It can just be me, but I believe that the overall design would be better served by deleting the date complication. And, while we’re at it, the “automatic” text: they do so to distinguish it in the quartz model, but it appears to just be a diversion on the dial.What shouldn’t be altered, however, is your handset. For starters, we’ve got a three-hander here, and I like using another hands on the movement to allow me to know the watch is living. Next up, lets discuss measurements on the sword-shaped hands. On a rectangular case, it can be tricky to get the spans right so they don’t appear to crowd the short side of the dial or have lost on the lengthy side. On the Baume & Mercier Hampton, they did a nice job of balancing both, while maintaining the hands in proportion to each other. Last, let us talk about the bluing.
