Hands-On While using Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar (10280)If your Clifton was designed by Baume & Mercier's CEO Alain Zimmermann in Geneva, he introduced it as a watch within the group of affordable luxury. Back then, the Clifton series started below 3000 Euro for the most basic version. At a later date, complications (such as a tourbillon) were added. Today, we take a look at the Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar. A watch that does not exactly participate in the affordable luxury category, but does offer a neat and useful complication.Clifton Chronograph Complete CalendarLast year, we reviewed the Clifton Complete Calendar, a watch offering day, date, month and moon phase indicators. This Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar added, you've guessed it already, a chronograph complication. Besides a calendar, an exceptionally useful - and popular - complication.Checking out the dial of the Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar you could potentially already know the movement that is inside, because typical lay-out. Yes, it's in line with the ETA/Valjoux 7751 movement. A chronograph and calendar movement having a solid background. In addition, it provides a Round-the-clock indicator.Two ToneThe watch we caused by Baume & Mercier due to this review will be the reference 10280, a two-tone form of the Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar. The 18 carat red gold bezel isn't prominent, till you have the watch in sunshine maybe in a location with plenty light. You will see that the red gold bezel matches nicely with all the dauphin hands and applied hour markers. Interesting to see is the fact that the bezel was in gold, other watch consists of stainless-steel. Normally, with bi-color replica watches you'll find the crown and/or pushers and maintain gold. It's kind of much like the Rolex Datejust 16234 and its variations, the location where the fluted bezel consists of gold where-as the others consists of metal.Inspired By Vintage ModelsThe Clifton series is inspired by Baume & Mercier's heritage models, as was told for me during its introduction. It may not be clear which models exactly inspired the Clifton, or it is a combined several models and styles with their 1950s collections. The shape on the case is without a doubt something which reminds me of those elegant 1950s replica watches, with those curved lugs, round shapes, dauphin hands and applied hour markers. And also flat winding crown looks 1950s. It becomes an era that may be loved by many watch collectors, as well as an era that brought us many great designs from Longines, Omega, IWC, Rolex and so forth. The strange thing is always that I'm able to name several 1950s replica watches from those along with other brands, but I need to admit i don't discover - any - vintage Baume & Mercier models from that period. Taking a look at some offers on Chrono24, I come across approx 16 Baume & Mercier models in the 1950s. And the like, that one, that indeed shows an appealing resemblance of true shape of the Clifton.Not simply is very important in the case, even the rectangular pushers and flat crown are interesting design features that any of us see within the new Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar watch. Regardless, a very handsome 35mm diameter watch with manual winding movement and two-register chronograph.Modern FeaturesHowever, we're also checking out today's watch here, with a 43mm case plus the typical Valjoux 7751 lay-out. Although I understand the truth that Baume & Mercier wishes to use those off-the-shelf movements, it also means that there's less room for creativity for the dial. You will note similar dials off their brands, and so the only room for the children left to try out with, are definitely the hands, numerals, indexes and colors on the dial. E-mail, Baume & Mercier did an awesome job during that, considering the boundaries they must work together with. However, should the given 'design parameters' in the movement wasn't something that they had to consider, how awesome might it be to have a two register chronograph over a Clifton by way of example? Or, regarding the complete calendar, a four register lay-out like those old Universal Geneve models? Or something like that like Baume & Mercier's own 1950s triple-date replica watches, using the Valjoux 72 movement.Affordable LuxuryOf course, to help keep the Baume & Mercier Clifton somewhat in the affordable luxury price category, you will find boundaries in what they can do. The usage of the Valjoux 7751 is not a bad choice, since it delivers all necessary complications and has now proven to be very reliable over time. This movement was based on the chronograph-only version, the famous 7750. As the free winding direction bothers me a bit with your movements, creating a wobble that's very 'present' around the wrist, it is just a good performer and one without issues. watches The list cost of 5450 Euro makes me wonder if the 'affordable luxury' tag still is applicable though. With this form of money, one does get yourself a nice watch with plenty of mechanical complications though. The all metal version (reference 10278) retails for 650 Euro less, which perhaps help it become more interesting for the people searching for replica watches nearly 5000 Euro. It's not the most affordable Valjoux 7751 powered watch around, however, there is a little more about a watch than its movement needless to say.Around the WristThe Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar featuring its 43mm diameter wears very nicely firstly. It comes with a additional 'expensive' appeal of computer actually costs. Several people asked me in regards to the watch after i was putting it on. Interesting enough, people who are not specifically watch enthusiasts were astonished at its price reason for a confident way, where some fellow enthusiasts / collectors think it is a tad overpriced. tag heuer mens watch I think, the Baume & Mercier aims at people that just purchase a good watch because of their Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar. It's not targeted at collectors or die-hard watch fans in my view. In that regard, Baume & Mercier indeed can offer interesting pieces from the affordable luxury category to people who only want to wear a fantastic and nice looking timepiece.The watch, because shape, omega speedmaster automatic wears very comfortably about the wrist and, equally as important, it is rather easy to read the dial. The hands are nicely polished and provide an incredible contrast while using silver(ed) dial. The truth has polished and satin finished surfaces, that give an excellent contrast. The two case and dial play very nicely with light. The 18 carat red gold bezel adds a little punch to it, but in truth, I can do without.To use the watch there is not much you can do wrong. Remember that setting the calendar and moon phases (by crown and also the special pusher around the left side on the case) mustn't be done between peak times (9:00pm about three:00am) and you will be fine.Strap and claspPart in the wearing experience are definitely the strap and clasp. Many brands pay too little focus to it, causing a lousy looking strap or an uncomfortable one. The alligator strap is very nicely done, less than stiff (a lot of them are, merely to soften a lttle bit after extensive wear) together with beautiful scales and never too padded. Baume & Mercier just received it right. The clasp is simple to work with and cozy within the wrist. As we discussed for the image above, the clasp carries a combined polished and brushed surfaces. The Baume & Mercier logo has been engraved inside clasp.Some ThoughtsThe Clifton is truly one of those collections that we followed a lttle bit over time. I was very happy to identify that Baume & Mercier developed it in 2013, with an adjusted price. Now that they introduced more variations, I wonder the actual way it performs available on the market. Eventually, all of it is related to price (aside from the fact whether a watch appeal to the masses, you aren't). The Clifton is undoubtedly a nice-looking watch, with clear inspirations from past models. 5450 Euro is a pretty bit of money, for a watch with these complications, even so the watch looks good and has now an excellent finish. The dial would be the typical 7751 lay-out, even so the applied rose gold colored markers and polished hands are quite nicely done.If you are searching for just a good watch for any day wear and wish to have a very full calendar and chronograph, the Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar can be an interesting candidate. Just be sure you feel confident with the 43mm diameter case and whether you are looking for it in stainless-steel or in two-tone. The stainless version can be had with a stainless steel bracelet.Details via Baume & Mercier on-line.
