Since Baume & Mercier was founded in the heart of the Swiss Jura in 1830, it has continued to expand into new markets around the globe...
Travel has become an essential part of its history. That is why it was a natural choice to add a Dual Time watch to the Clifton collection: a watch that functions in such a way as to enable the simultaneous display of two different time zones on its dial. This efficient, understated piece fulfills the needs of metropolitans who travel for professional or personal reasons and who wish to check the time at home, as well as the time where they are, at a glance.
The art of travel makes up part of the historic heritage of Baume & Mercier, as the Swiss watchmaker understood the importance of taking its influence beyond the boundaries of Europe as early as the 19th century.
Baume & Mercier pays homage to this great past with two GMT watches that complete the Clifton men's collection. These elegant, timeless watches are a demonstration of Baume & Mercier's ambition to provide travelers with useful functionalities. These luxury timepieces both feature a 43 mm diameter case in brushed satin-finish steel with the date display in the three o'clock position, available with a silvery dial or anthracite dial with sun satin finish.
These models contain an automatic mechanical movement known for its reliability and precision: ETA 2893-3. With the Dual Time function, it enables the watch to simultaneously display a second time zone, indicated by the red dot at the end of a fine hand that goes around the dial once every 24 hours. This marvel of balance is understated, simple to handle, and useful for everyday use. It is mounted on a black or maroon bracelet fastened by an adjustable triple folding buckle with security catch.
The elegant new Clifton GMT model 10111 is a traveler. It was designed for men who regularly roam the planet and who wish to check the time at home, as well as the time where they are. This watch comes in a 43 mm diameter case in brushed satin-finish steel with a shape inspired by that a 1950s Baume & Mercier watch. It contains an automatic mechanical movement visible through the sapphire case back (ETA 2893-2). The slate dial with a sun satin finish is illuminated by a set of golden hands, and shows the date in an open display in the three o’clock position. In addition to the local time, a second time zone is indicated by a fine hand that goes around the dial once every 24 hours. This metropolitan, timeless piece is mounted on a maroon alligator skin bracelet fastened by an adjustable triple folding buckle with security catch.
Ever since its founding in 1830, the history of Baume & Mercier has read like a legend. The world of Baume & Mercier is perfectly embodied today in Seaside Living. This philosophy of life goes hand in hand with the unadulterated, original values conveyed by the maison d'horlogerie: living together, sharing, and long-term commitment. These lifestyle ideas are expressed by putting the brand's clientele in the focal point, by cherishing family, friends and everything that's near and dear to us, and by filling every moment of our lives with meaning.
