the annual watch show. We’ll have more
SIHH debuts in the next print issue and

WITH THE NEW CLIFTON BAUMATIC PERPETUAL CALENDAR. Baume &
Mercier for the first time combines its Baumatic movement with a perpetual
calendar. In addition to five days power reserve, the Clifton Baumatic Perpetual
Calendar offers a precision of –4/+6 seconds per day throughout its power
reserve period. It can also resist magnetic fields of up to 1,500 gauss and will
require no maintenance for at least five years. Its functions and indications
include: date, the day of the week, the month and the phases of the moon
(while automatically taking into account the variable lengths of months and the
leap year cycle). The watch requires no date correction before March 1st, 2100,
a non-leap year.
