Baume & Mercier Clifton
There are brands with really nice timepieces that don’t get the attention they truly deserve. Baume & Mercier is one of these brands, and their Clifton models are well-made watches with a classic design that you should consider when searching for an affordable mechanical watch from Switzerland.
This example is an elegant timepiece that offers everything a modern watch buyer usually asks for: an automatic movement, date-display, alligator leather strap with folding clasp, see-through glass back, and a reasonable size at 41 mm. The blued hands add a nice attention to detail.
Enthusiast’s corner: Rare or exceptional timepieces
IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph
As its name indicates, this pilot’s watch from the famous Schaffhausen brand is a double chronograph, also known as a rattrapante or split-seconds chronograph. This complication takes much more effort to produce and is therefore very rare in comparison to normal chronographs. Thus, only a few brands offer such models and usually for a much higher price than this pre-owned piece.
The design is simple and clean without any unnecessary lifestyle gimmicks, which shows the original character of the IWC Pilot’s Watches.
Steal of the Week: Great Value for Your Money
Rolex Explorer II
There are probably just one or two other watches from Rolex that are available at such “budget-friendly” rates. This is probably because the Explorer II is still a true tool watch that was created for a rather rough life under hard conditions instead of a luxury life with champagne and fancy food pictures on Instagram.
The Explorer II doesn’t have a shiny, high-end ceramic bezel, but a fixed steel bezel, and the bracelet doesn’t have any polished links. If you want a Rolex that’s more about getting the job done than showing its price tag, the Explorer II is the one to get.
