Pre-SIHH: Introducing The Baume & Mercier Clifton Collection
For SIHH 2013, Baume & Mercier will be unveiling an entirely new collection, Clifton. While most of the pieces will not be shown until January, we have a sneak peak at Clifton for you this morning. And if these three watches are any indication, Clifton is going to be a strong collection for B&M. 2 OF 6 The inspiration for Clifton comes from vintage dress watches of the 1950s, though the name comes from a South African sea-side resort. Go figure. The basic models like those here come in at 41mm and 42mm, which are certainly modern sizes, but not overly huge. The numbers on the dial are elegant, the three-piece case is sturdy, and there seems to have been a great attention paid to details throughout the design process.First up are two steel models, one with a silver dial and the other with a black dial. Both are 11.54mm thick, house automatic movements (likely ETA or ETA-like), and come on alligator straps. With the sub seconds and discrete date at 3 o'clock, these really d

Submariner or Yachtmaster?
Hey everyone! After getting my Datejust II 116300 and GMT Master Coke 16170, I am planning my next piece.I am really digging the look/features of the Yachtmaster (not the Yachtmaster II, as it's out of my price range), but I also crave the Submariner. I love the look of the YM1 (Silver on silver version, but the blue looks amazing too), polished center links, dressy or casual����. but also, how can anyone not love a good clean sub (date). The sub is obviously a must in anyones collection I feel, but just unsure which one to plan for. I plan on trying them both on, if I can find an AD that has them both. I bought my DJ2 brand new and obviously my GMT Coke used, but in amazing condition����..so I am more than likely going pre owned at this point.For those that have both��.which one do you prefer? Anyone else, please weight in!Thanks!
