Greetings, and welcome to the world of Baume & Mercier. Today, I'll be your guide to the Baume & Mercier Clifton Club reference 10339. You can see this 42 millimeter diamond-like carbon coated steel time piece and the entire Baume & Mercier family of premium Swiss watches on our website, govbergwatches.com.

The best way to approach this watch, versatile as it is, is to start with the interface between man and machine. This watch is a contemporary, sporting reference with the versatility to be worn in almost any sartorial situation. It starts with a robust, beautifully satin finished Baume & Mercier pin buckle and steel for easy, on the fly adjustability.

The strap, which is a supple, yet durable natural vulcanized rubber features robust character lines as well as ventilation such that in conjunction with the relieved hollows of the underside it allows moisture, sweat, grit, heat and oil to escape the wrist on hot days. The emblem of Baume & Mercier, the symbol phi, as well as the signature of the club line is present on the beautifully striated and engraved case back. And the main body of the watch features elegant refinements, including a satin ADLC finish, black over steel as well as a bevel that runs horn-to-horn through the flank of the case band.

The lip of the bezel is beautifully polished in steel for contrast, giving way to a dial with a double-step in matte black. You can see the outermost circumference with a hint of orange and the hash marks of the individual seconds and minutes gives way via a step down to an hour track featuring all applied and brilliantly luminescent hour indices, capped by the Greek letter phi at 12:00.

The watch is both casual and formal. Casual in its raffish use of colors. Formal in its elegance of proportion, from the case lines to its 10.3 millimeter thickness that easily slides underneath any dress cuff. This watch is appropriate in any situation. Now the watch also features robust legibility thanks to the shock of orange on the seconds hand as well as broad and beautifully luminescent hour and minutes hands at center. There's a discrete date window with a monotone black date disc that blends in beautifully without disturbing the balance of the dial.

Inside the case is a 38 hour power reserve, automatic winding Swiss caliper that features two refinements for more precise time setting. One is hacking seconds such that when the screw-down crown is threaded out and pulled to extremity, the balance is halted and the seconds hand can be synchronized precisely to a reference time such as an online atomic clock. Moreover, there's an intermediate setting position in which the date can be quick set, rapidly correcting for an irregular length month or should the watch run down.

For timing intervals between zero and 60 minutes, the rotating bezel's orange index can be aligned with the minute hand for an impromptu analog style chronograph, if you will. Thanks to 100 meter water resistance and the rotating bezel, the watch also has a broad range of capability.

A watch that can be worn to the board room yet also worn on the boardwalk with no fear of water. You can see this versatile and raffish contemporary timepiece, the Baume & Mercier Clifton Club with the entire Baume & Mercier family of premium Swiss timepieces on our website, govbergwatches.com.
