Retro styling is perfectly suited to Baume & Mercier watches and judging by the success of the first Classima Executives retro launched in 2005, in celebration of the brand's 175th anniversary, it would be hard to say the contrary!
To carry on in this creative direction, the Baume & Mercier design studio has imagined new Classima Executives L retro models of even greater originality. A strong desire to enhance the design of small watchmaking complications has contributed to the elaboration of new pieces featuring noble aesthetics and technical quality.
The Classima Executives L retro displays the perfect balance of touches of retro inspiration and a resolutely contemporary allure. It houses a self-winding Dubois Depraz mechanical movement and a small watchmaking complication: a regulator. This function first appeared in the 17th century and is considered to be the most accurate time instrument, by enabling the hours, minutes and seconds to be read separately. In addition to its technical watchmaking attributes, the regulator with its individual counters makes an important contribution to the watch's retro look and the dial's distinctive design. Of course, the over-sized crown and generously cambered crystal, so typical of the watches of the 50s, have not been forgotten.
The finesse of detail of the silvered Opalin dial combined with a beveled flange confers the entire watch with its very own yesteryear elegance.
This Classima Executives L highlights all the characteristics of ideal proportions; the center of the case back is engraved with the Greek letter Phi, the golden rectangle (rectangle whose length and width ratio is equal to the golden number: 1.618) and the infinite decimal numerals of the golden number that are inscribed along the outer edge.
A dash of refinement for an exceptional timepiece. |
