Baume& Mercier unveils Baumatic, its first Manufacture movement

Haute horlogerie brand Baume & Mercier, which is engaged in a constant quest for quality and after several years of development, has – in close cooperation with the Manufacture Horlogère ValFleurier and the Richemont Research & Innovation teams – launched its very first mechanical self-winding Manufacture movement: the Baumatic BM12-1975A calibre, which is showcased in its iconic Clifton Baumatic collection.

Clifton Baumatic
The reliable, high-performance Baumatic BM12-1975A calibre has been introduced in five new models in the Clifton collection that was launched six years ago. This contemporary addition features a 40mm case and a refined white dial with a porcelain finish and is powered by a revolutionary in-house mechanical self-winding calibre that is simple, robust, and accurate. Designed with an immaculate white or intense black dial, the watch has understated, easy-to-read display features such as slender riveted hour-markers, slim lancet hands, and an oversized date aperture at 3 o’clock. Topped with a domed sapphire crystal, the minute track – in anthracite grey or white – follows the perfectly proportioned curves of the 40 mm polished/satin-finished steel case.

Water-resistant to 50 meters, the transparent case back reveals the new Baumatic BM12-1975A calibre, the first mechanical self-winding movement developed in-house, in collaboration with the Richemont group. This timepiece attaches to the wrist with an alligator strap that fastens with a pin buckle and is easy to change without the need for a tool or a five-row bracelet in polished/satin-finished steel.

Baume & Mercier is extending the international warranty for the Clifton Baumatic by one year after the owner registers their details at www.baume-et-mercier.com using the form provided.
