Baume & Mercier: Clifton 10052

When investing in a quality timepiece, it is imperative that your purchase be able to stand the test of time. Fads come and go, but quality design is timeless. Lucky for you, the Genevan watchmakers Baume & Mercier have created the Clifton series, a trio of watches inspired by one of the brand's vintage timepieces from the 1950s and ranging in price from $2,600 to $6,300. With their understated elegance and universal appeal, these watches would serve any man well and will proudly proclaim your appreciation for timeless design.

Pictured here is the Clifton 10052. With automatic movement, a sun satin-finished silver-colored dial and black alligator strap, this watch just screams class. The standout feature, though, is its blued steel hands. This subtle highlight gives a modern twist to this piece's classic proportions.
