...especially the Clifton series. It's one of my preferences in design - only three hands on a modern AND classical dial-sheet. And this combination of gold and red - just WOW. But why do they always add this date window?


A close friend of mine has a Baumatic and he is very content about it in terms of looks, comfort and movement. And the best: You don't see theses watches very often. For us this is a real plus!

It's a proprietary movement developed by ValFleurier, the shared facilities owned by the Richemont group. A similar movement exists in other brands owned by Richemont.
