A 185-piece limited edition: Clifton 8-Day Power Reserve
Few brands have the distinction of a long history with classic designs that remain
timeless for years to come. Since 1830, Baume & Mercier has been a part of this
inner circle. This year, the brand is celebrating its 185th anniversary. To honor
this celebration, only an exceptional timepiece embodying the mastery and heart
of the brand will do: introducing the Clifton 8-Day Power Reserve.
Celebrate 185 years of expertise
Limited to 185 pieces, the Clifton’s sophisticated mechanism embodies 185 years
of Swiss watchmaking. With a polished and satin-finished case and domed dial
matching the sapphire crystal shape, this Clifton piece stays true to the brands roots.
Its luxury qualities, traditional finishes, and exceptional performance seamlessly
fall within the family of complex timepieces cultivated by Baume & Mercier.
Similar to the Clifton 1830 launched in 2013 and Clifton Tourbillon 1892 unveiled
in 2014, this elegant new edition embraces the heritage that has always been
appreciated for its sense of balance.
CLIFTON Performance at the core
Baume & Mercier has chosen a mechanical manual-winding manufacture
movement, with an eight-day power reserve, for this 45.5 mm 18K red gold
piece. This manual movement enables the watch to run for over a week.
At this level of perfection, every detail counts. To help each owner find the most
appropriate time to wind the watch, Baume & Mercier placed a discreet powerreserve
indicator on the dial, which shows the winding level.
Visible through the transparent case-back, this hand-assembled 16 ¾-ligne
caliber provides a glimpse of the variable-inertia balance oscillating at a
frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Adjusted by a master watchmaker in
five positions, as is customary with high-precision watches, this movement is
equipped with a stop seconds mechanism, designed to ensure the most accurate
possible time-setting.
This large manufacture caliber boasts an eight-day power reserve (compared
to two days for most mechanical watches) provided by a single barrel, which
represents an exceptional performance. The balance is disabled by a mechanism
at the end of 192 hours, when the available energy becomes insufficient to
ensure the accuracy of the movement. Because of this power reserve function,
only three full windings are required each month.
The beautiful décor features a circular-grained finish on the plate and “Côtes de
Genève” on the bridges. One of the bridges is engraved with the Greek letter,
“Phi”, which is the logo of Baume & Mercier as well as the symbol of “Divine
Proportion” and the golden ratio.M0A10195
