The Clifton Collection, one of Baume & Mercier's watchmaking lines, is expanding this year with a new series of timepieces, the Clifton Club, which fulfils the needs of urban, active, elegant men – accomplished aesthetes, today’s “gentlesportsmen”.

Lastly, there is an all-black version. It features a black dial, stainless steel case with a black sand-blasted ADLC finish (amorphous diamond-like carbon, a coating of 2-3 µm thick that is incredibly hard and highly resistant to scratches and shocks) and an integrated black vulcanized rubber strap with open-worked sections to offer natural ventilation to the wrist.

All bracelets and straps feature a triple folding buckle with two side push-pieces in stainless steel to guarantee security and ease of opening. This in-house design bears the “Phi” logo stamped on the top. Only the black rubber version comes with a wide pin buckle in satin-finished stainless steel, also decorated with Baume & Mercier's “Phi” logo.
