The Clifton Turns Ice Blue

Baume & Mercier has released a limited edition 39mm Clifton watch featuring an ice blue guilloché dial. The design draws inspiration from 1950s aesthetics while utilizing modern horological movements.
Why it matters
This reflects the luxury watch industry's trend of blending vintage design cues with contemporary technical specifications to appeal to modern collectors.
Baume & Mercier is adding a limited edition to its Clifton collection: a 39 mm Automatique Date with an ice blue guilloché dial. A new shade inherited from the dressed dials of the 1950s, brought to life by the guilloché as it plays with the light. Behind this softness lies serious mechanics: the now well-known Baumatic manufacture movement. After being completely redesigned last year, the Clifton flourishes with this version, which is undoubtedly its most luminous interpretation. A discreet piece that reveals what the house seeks to achieve with its flagship collection: combining a vintage aesthetic with horological content that is anything but vintage.
