Clifton GMT Power Reserve - Baume & Mercier
As a preview of the 2017 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, Baume & Mercier expands its Clifton collection with a complication as useful as it is cosmopolitan: the dual time indicator.

A pillar at Baume & Mercier, the Clifton collection welcomes a newcomer with useful functions and timeless grace. The ideal companion for travellers as well as aficionados of fine watchmaking, the Clifton GMT Power Reserve embodies the philosophy of quality and affordable luxury of the Geneva-based brand.

In all simplicity and elegance, this new watch envisioned for frequent travellers, displays two different time zones. In a 43mm steel case with polished and satin finishes, highlighting the collection’s hallmark double bevel, its well-balanced dimensions make it easy to wear on all occasions. The deep blue dial with sun-satin finishes clearly displays the model’s functions: the date, the power reserve, and the GMT.

The triangle-shaped hands and a slender small second indicate Arabic numerals and polished, rhodium-plated indexes, enhanced by precise motion work for flawless readability and further perfected by the domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The second time display at 12 o’clock, the power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock, and the date display at 3 o’clock on a white background complete this original and contemporary display, presented in a half-moon shape. Subtle red notes and the delicate white edging around the date are some of the details that enrich the newcomer with a mark of modernity.

The Clifton GMT Power Reserve houses a self-winding movement with a 42 hour power reserve. The 50m water-resistant sapphire crystal case back displays the watchmaking finishes of the Soprod 9035 caliber with its circular-grained finished plate and bridges, blued steel screws and oscillating weight decorated with “Côtes de Genève”. Dedicated to frequent travellers who are aesthetically-minded and interested in fine watchmaking, this sophisticated timepiece is offered on a black alligator strap with square scales and a triple folding buckle with security push-pieces.
