Introducing the Baume & Mercier Clifton Retrograde Date Automatic (Live Pics, Details, & Pri
Inspired by 1950s references, Baume & Mercier first introduced the Clifton Collection at SIHH 2013. This year, the brand builds on the introductory time-only pieces by introducing new complications, including the handsome?Clifton chronograph?we recently showed you. Of the new releases, there is one in particular that succeeds in balancing wearability, practicality, and just a touch of something different: the Clifton Retrograde Date Automaticpared to the standard method for displaying the date ¨C via an aperture ¨C the retrograde date function is more difficult to seamlessly incorporate into the design of a dial.
