While it’s not a new piece (introduced at Watches and Wonders last year) the?Baume & Mercier Clifton 8-Day Power Reserve is a stunning, stunning watch on the wrist. We were very?excited to try this limited piece out, and the big watch looks and feels amazing on the wrist. While it’s above the Baume & Mercier price point, it is still a watch that epitomises the design of the Clifton and the history of the brand.What’s noteworthy about this special 8-day Clifton is the movement – ?it is powered by the IWC Calibre 59210, better known as the movement in?the IWC Portofino 8-Day, and fellow Richmond company.Australian Pricing- Baume & Mercier Clifton 8-Day Power ReserveThe Australian price is A$21,700, which as we said is?well above what you’d normally expect from Baume & Mercier, but represents excellent value for a solid gold watch with this high-end movement.SpecificationsCollection:?CliftonReference:?M0A10195Movement:?Manufacture movement, manualCircular-grained finished plateBridges adorned with ??C?tes de Geneve?? decor, Phi logoBlued-steel screwsJewels:?30Power reserve:?192 hours (8 days) with one barrelFrequency:?4HzMovement adjusted to five positionsFunctions:?H/M, Small seconds, 8 days power-reserve indicator, dateCase:?RoundDiameter:?45 mmThickness:?13.0 mmPolished & satin-finished 18K red goldDomed, Antiglare scratch-resistant sapphire crystalSapphire case back secured with screwsEngraving :?limited edition, one out of 185Dial:?Domed opaline silver-coloredRiveted gilt Arabic numerals and indexesGilt and blued steel handsStrap: Square scales black alligatorBuckle:?18K red gold pin buckleWater-resistance:?5 ATM (approx. 50m)Gold weight (guaranteed minimum):?52,29 gr
