CLIFTON CLUB LEGENDS
On the heels of the Burt Munro Tribute late last year, Baume & Mercier is introducing new designs in the Clifton Club Indian Trilogy: the Legends. Each automatic 44mm chronograph pays tribute to Indian Motorcycle, which has been crafting motorcycles since 1901 and with whom Baume & Mercier began a partnership last August. Each is part of a limited edition of just 1,901 pieces in honor of the founding date of the famed bike brand.
The case of the Clifton Club Indian Legend, Chief Edition( above, right) is polished and satin-finished stainless steel, and the fixed DLC bezel has an engraved tachymeter scale; it is fitted on a metal bracelet. The screw-down caseback is engraved with the Indian Motorcycle logo and the limited edition number of the piece. The watch’ s black dial features riveted luminescent indexes, two subdials and a red seconds hand with the Indian Motorcycle logo on the counterweight. Price: $ 3,900
With a polished and satin-finished steel case, the Clifton Club Indian Legend, Scout Edition also has a fixed bezel with an engraved tachymeter scale. The openworked dial, designed to evoke the engines on midsize bikes, features snailed gray subdials. The luminescent riveted indexes are complemented by the beige chronograph seconds hand. The screw-down caseback is engraved with the Indian Motorcycle logo and the limited edition number of the piece. The watch’ s light brown calfskin strap with black stitching is from the famed Horween Leather Company. Price: $ 3,750
