Clifton Baumatic
Baume & Mercier's quiet dress-watch pillar, refined through the long-running Clifton and Baumatic movement language.

Story & heritage
The official Clifton collection page positions Clifton as the house's everyday high-end watchmaking line, pairing a round case with stainless steel or gold interpretations and the manufacture Baumatic movement.
The Clifton 10771 condenses that idea into a 39 mm format with a gradient blue lacquered dial, a white minute track and a sapphire open case back.
Materials & craft
Baume & Mercier lists the 10771 with a self-winding Baumatic BM13-1975A movement, 120-hour power reserve, 5 ATM water resistance, polished/satin-finished steel case and blue alligator strap. The collection page also calls out Baumatic finishing such as perlage, sandblasted and snailed plates, and an openworked oscillating weight with Côtes de Genève.
How to choose & style
The Clifton works best when the watch is meant to feel calm rather than loud: pair the blue dial with navy tailoring, grey knitwear or a white shirt to let the lacquered center catch light without overpowering the wrist.
