Baume & Mercier launches a replica perpetual calendar in 18 carat red gold

A quite good looking replica watch for Baume & Mercie with even an interesting base movement coming from Vaucher Manufacture. Discover the perpetual calendar and let me know what you think.

Baume & Mercier offers an exclusive fake timepiece in its Clifton Collection each year. I would call this a watchmaking exercise. Baume & Mercier is committed to realize a fascinating timepiece within the universe of complex timekeeping complications. The new Clifton Perpetual Calendar now enriches this collection. Do you remember? This collection of exclusive timepieces is already composed of remarkable AAA+ watches like the flying tourbillon or the 5-minute repeater.

The Baume & Mercier Clifton Perpetual Calendar is thus endowed with a mechanical memory of 1461 days, the equivalent of four years. The replica watch is powered by the self-winding Vaucher calibre 5401 (Vaucher is part of the Parmigiani Group) which is paired with a Dubois Dépraz 5100 Module. The latter is also used by many other well known brands (even exclusive ones) for their perpetual calendars.

The Dubois Dépraz 5100 Module negotiates all the particularities of the Gregorian calendar with its 31, 30 or 28-day months and the periodic return of February 29th. By indicating the date, the day of the week, the month and the phases of the moon, and by automatically keeping track of the variable length of each month and the cycle of leap years, the Clifton Perpetual Calendar will not require any date correction before the 1st of March 2100, a non leap year that appears three centuries out of four.

Now, as already mentioned above, thats for sure not an ugly watch – on the contrary – and also a watch offering an interesting base calibre from Vaucher Manufacture in Fleurier. Also its Dubois Dépraz module is a good choice since it is used by so many other manufactures as well.
