I found something unexpected. My first Baume & Mercier.
At the start of the year, I was thinking to myself: "What watch would I get, if I was comfortable spending more money?".
I was looking at various watches when I found myself taking a look at the Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic. A nice-looking watch, with a great movement and the Price was not too far away from what I was comfortable to pay. But still too much.
I said to myself, that if I could imagine it, but only with a hefty discount. So I continued planning to buy a Casio Oceanus in a few months to finish my Casio box.
When a while ago, I was walking around in a neighboring city past a jeweler, when I noticed a sale. Of course, I was intrigued and took a look.
And there it was, the Clifton Baumatic, 50% off😮.
I went home and thought about it, for a few days.
The next week I went to the jeweler to try it on, if it hadn't been sold already. It wasn't and I liked it and looked great on my wrist. And again, I was going for a walk around the inner city to be sure.
Went in again and got it. I also had a pleasant buying experience in the Jewelry, trying the watch on, asking questions and just having a nice watch talk.
So, enough talk. Here is the watch.
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
Sleeper brand!
Baume&Mercier Baumatic 5Days Moonphase, 20 short years after my wife and 2 daughters gifted a B&M Chronograph watch to me, I bought this Moonphase watch for my baby grand daughter newly arrived into our lives. My son in law asked me to keep and wear the watch a few years before handing it over to his child.
Nice watch
Great watch and an amazing deal!
Gorgeous watch

Love it!
Oh, and when you see a deal, strike while the iron is hot - don't wait next time or it may be gone! Glad it worked out for you! 😎
Congratulations my friend! Gorgeous piece 👌🏻 and great value for money, especially with 50% off! 💪🏻
Enjoy it 👏🏻
I like the looks for sure, but the 5 day power reserve is mind blowing.
Beautiful 😍
It's an interesting brand, for sure.
Have seen some big discounts on it down here in Sydney, of late.
Love it!

I literally can not do that, even at 50% off, this watch still costs almost 1700 chf. This is still a lot of money for me. Before a purchase like that, I need a few days to think about it. I have done this on watches way cheaper than that. I am not an impulse buyer.
If the watch would be sold in the meantime, so be it. I rather have the money than buyers regret.

I am glad I found the jeweler. Without the discount, I would have never got this watch.

Lovley, I like that dialcolor.
This is a nice watch. Well done.
It’s a nice watch and a good brand.
It was my gateway drug into luxury watches
Congratulations, nice pickup. Glad you where able to get a good deal and had the time to mull it over so you did not have to be rushed into it.

Thx! Smoky grey.🙏

Understood, and being cautious with money is an admirable trait.
At 50% off, however, one could conceivably turn around and make a profit on the watch (or at least get your money back), which should appeal to your careful, measured mind and approach. Takes away any possibility of regret as well, with that option in play.
I recently saw an 18k gold Chopard Mille Miglia - normally $11,100 - for sale at Wempe for $1100 and bought it immediately, and I would not normally spend that much on a watch. (Of course once they realized their error they canceled the order and refunded my money within the hour, but that's beside the point, lol.)
If-you-know-you-know brand, congrats on the watch!
Killer watch💯
Superb watch thank you for sharing this with us. #baumeandmercier
