Longines, Tudor, Oris are all stepping up their game in the US$3K-6K range...and now look at what Baume et Mercier just put today at US$2790.00... https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/baume-and-mercier-clifton-baumatic-5-day-chronometer-introducing LVMH "in-house" calibre with 5 day power reserve, COSC certified chronometer, Si balance spring (+1500 Gauss), 40mm X 10.3mm case. Photo from Hodinkee below... Has this watch set a new benchmark in terms of value proposition?
The fonts look really thick. Sharpie thick. I know it’s a new watch but it reminds me of a lot of redials we’ve seen
way too much script on the dial. half of that could have been put on the caseback (and it probably already is). the 05/10/15 etch could stand to be lost and gold furniture along with a painted dial surface would set it off nicely.
I’m fond of the brand as it was one of my fathers favorites. I do agree that is could have a little less text on the dial but would like to see it in person
