SIHH 2017: Introducing the Baume & Mercier Clifton GMT Power Reserve

An affordable automatic wristwatch with two useful complications.

Baume & Mercier combines a second time zone display and power reserve in a watch that will soon be officially unveiled at SIHH 2017. It joins the Clifton collection, mostly comprised of mechanical watches that offer good value but are pricey in absolute terms, like the recent Clifton Perpetual Calendar. The new Clifton GMT Power Reserve, on the other hand, is affordably priced, with a retail of about US$3300.

The Clifton GMT Power Reserve features a second time zone sub-dial at 12 o’clock, and a power reserve display at six. It’s powered by an the automatic Soprod 9035, which is actually an ETA 2892 automatic with the addition of a complications plate made by Soprod, a builder of movements and modules.
