The Baume & Mercier Clifton Perpetual Calendar Watch Review
That play solidly within the quality-mechanical, bang-for-your-buck domain. However, the organization in the past has additionally, although somewhat periodically, offered high complications too, as well as in the Richemont era this tradition has ongoing, with timepieces (usually within the Clifton collection) as varied as tourbillons, eight-day watches, and, most lately, a really interesting five-minute repeater pocket watch on offer too.

The most recent timepiece within this tradition may be the Clifton Perpetual Calendar - a real perpetual inside a gold situation, which runs somewhat counter towards the recent trend to provide high complications inside a steel situation, for optimum ease of access.

The Clifton Perpetual Calendar utilizes a pretty high-grade movement

The additional-flat Vaucher caliber 5401, a micro-rotor movement only two.6mm thick and 30mm across, from Manufacture Vaucher (which is a member of the Sandoz Family Foundation, and that has created movements for clients as varied as Richard Mille and Hermes - the second getting an possession stake in Vaucher). The perpetual calendar plate is really a Dubois-Depraz 5100, and particularly, the provenance of both components is clearly supplied by Baume & Mercier, with laudable transparency. It's becoming a lot more common for businesses using outsourced movements to become open about movement sources - a pattern hopefully to determine continue. The mixture from the caliber 5401 using the DD module enables for any movement measuring only 4.2mm thick.

In perpetual calendars, using a module is not especially problematic 

As lengthy as prices is suitable, as perpetual calendar works are usually cadrature (underneath the dial works) in almost any situation. The position from the calendar sub-dials is within proportion towards the overall design and size of the situation (42mm diameter and 11.2mm thick) which is often the greatest and many inevitable gotcha in modular perpetuals.

The cost is, as you may expect, quite amazingly cost effective for a micro-rotor powered, extra-flat gold perpetual calendar, at $22,900. Between your Vaucher movement, the solid situation design, and using a reliable DD module that keeps this watch both stylishly flat and incredibly reliable, we believe this can be a solid accessory for the selection from the new generation of, otherwise value-priced, certainly value-conscious complications thinking hard on how to make certain clients come on value isn't a poor factor.
