THE NEW DESIGN OF THE CLIFTON COLLECTION

A REDESIGNED CASE FOR A MORE VINTAGE LOOK INSPIRED BY THE CODES OF A 1950s MODEL

The Clifton collection carries forward its quest for stylistic and technical excellence. Passion, imagination, ingenuity, precision and superb crafting are the creative forces behind Baume & Mercier, a legacy that has endured for 195 years. This unique style and watchmaking expertise – sought out and recognized by the modern gentleman who appreciates refinement and precision – is the focus of this collection, launched in 2013.

The models presented at Watches & Wonders 2025 (the Clifton Baumatic M0A10802, M0A10778, and M0A10771) reveal the new design of the iconic round case. The proportions have been slimmed down, the finishes reworked. Three other Clifton Baumatic watches (M0A10773, M0A10792, and M0A10793) complete the range, including two that feature an elegant and innovative metal bracelet specially designed to seamlessly integrate into the new case.


The launch of these three new pieces is taking place in September. It is a prime time for renewal, like the spirit which animates the Clifton: inspired and driven by challenges. More luxurious, modern and trendy, these are the not-to-be-missed timepieces of the fall. With them, Baume & Mercier brings a new design to each of life’s little moments. It is a precious companion combining functionality, aesthetics, and emotion.

Timepieces conceived for the discerning, refined modern gentleman
His attraction to elegant, impeccably crafted fine mechanics draws him to these timepieces, and no refined feature of their artistry escapes his expert eye and technical knowledge.

The Clifton collection returns in a new 39 mm size, a diameter previously reserved for models featuring a moon phase complication. Until now, Clifton three-hand watches were available in 40 mm, but they are now produced in a 39 mm version. This new iteration of the Clifton has been refined with polished and satin-brushed finishes.

A high-performance watchmaking mechanism
Developed at the Baume & Mercier workshops in Les Brenets, in the Swiss Jura, the Baumatic Manufacture movement was unveiled in 2018. It superbly embodies the Maison’s motto: “Accept only perfection. Only manufacture watches of the highest quality.” Its cutting-edge technology, proven through rigorous testing, breathes life into the new Clifton Baumatic M0A10802, M0A10778, M0A10771, M0A10773, M0A10792, and M0A10793.


With resistance to everyday magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss, a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 vph), remarkable autonomy thanks to a 5-day (120-hour) power reserve, and water resistance up to 5 ATM (approximately 50 meters), these timepieces meet the highest standards of excellence sought by discerning connoisseurs for whom such performance features are essential expectations.


The sapphire crystal case back on each model reveals the magnificent beauty of the movement, including circular-grained bridges, a sandblasted and snailed baseplate, an openworked gold-tone oscillating weight with snailed Côtes de Genève decorations, and a unique Baume & Mercier engraving.
