Baume et Mercier Clifton Timepiece Range

Recently we had a gander and a playabout with the Clifton range from Baume et Mercier - pioneers in Swiss timepieces. These ultimately classic but superbly crafted watches are inspired by the "Golden Fifties" where this luxury market really took shape. These stunning and [ironically] timeless watches are rife with luxurious detail - such as the "moon phase" detail which you can see in the focal style below.

The automatic technology can also be seen through the [sapphire] looking glass behind the face of the watch - another fantastic detail that's both cool and doesn't come short of some colourful screws. Basically this is a god of the luxury watch world and with price-tags that go far into the 4 figure arena we certainly see the word investment flash up.

Baume et Mercier Luxury Swiss Watches - The Capeland

Baume et Mercier are luxury pioneers of Swiss timepieces who have been crafting some of the most incredible watches since 1830. Ironically known for their timeless designs, their collections are ultimately quite classic but the sheer detail is enough to get you going - just check out the automatic technology on display in the picture below.

This is where we turn our attention to our chosen piece - the "Capeland" chronograph watch. This alligator strap watch has just enough edge to stand out but its undeniable elegance keeps it under control, which is exactly why we love it. You can waste valuable time simply immersed in the visible technology, which just so happens to be protected by sapphire crystal in a case of polished stainless steel. Not too shabby!

Bell & Ross Launch New WW1 Chronograph Monopoussoir Watch

Pioneering watchmakers Bell & Ross have launched their latest timepiece - the WW1 Chronograph Monopoussoir. Bit of a mouthful indeed and this style is one of their most classic of recent creations. The brand is known for their heavy-duty craftsmanship suited to the lives of professionals in the aviation and marine industries. Their designs are bold and the without a doubt the epitome of masculinity. 

The somewhat daintier WW1 style still however draws inspiration from the styles worn by pilots in the 1920s. This mechanical automatic watch comes with two faces - the Heritage [pictured above] and the Ivory [pictured left]. The case is made from polished steel, the face is a domed sapphire crystal and the Heritage style features a calfskin strap whilst the Ivory option boasts a strap of navy blue alligator. Take a moment to digest. The brand certainly give new meaning to the phrase "there's more than meets the eye" - by the way you can get the Heritage for £4,900 and the Ivory for £5,400. Enjoy!
