Alexandre Peraldi, Director of the Baume & Mercier in-house Design Studio, readily admits that «there is nothing more complicated than making a simple watch.» This 43 mm steel watch, housing a mechanical self-winding caliber, required a great deal of thought.

The Clifton Retrograde Date watch, with its case borrowed from a 1950s Baume & Mercier watch, houses a mechanical self-winding caliber visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back. The sun satin-finished dial displays hours, minutes and seconds through a central seconds hand. The caliber, fitted with a function plate, also displays the day in a small counter at 9 o’clock, the retrograde date at 3 o’clock and the power reserve at 6 o’clock. The winding level of the barrel spring guarantees that the Swiss Rolex replica watches will work for forty or so hours.

The watch is guaranteed to be water-resistant to 50 meters and is available in a brown alligator strap, closed by a triple folding buckle with security push-pieces.
