Before this season, Baume et Mercier introduced its Clifton Club “hero” collection of sport watches in SIHH using its CEO, Alain Zimmerman, stating that they’re focusing on younger partners. In case you haven’t seen the motto “Gentle Sportsmen,” the market with this watch is the bike polo playing, large wave catching, vintage vehicle driving, alternative sports athlete who wears nicely tailored, slim-fitting suits to casual gatherings and club meetings. I use a suit fairly regularly, and never once did I feel like it was great attire to ride a bike, push a skateboard, or grab a wave. Although, when it comes to driving a car with its top down and feeling just like James Bond, well, I would need to provide them a gentlemanly nod.In my head, Baume et Mercier did not have a client demographic that was young, adventurous, or sporty, and definitely not part of the counter culture that’s cafe racers and vintage customs. I thought of them as a watch companion for anniversary presents, a thank you gift you purchase for your parents after your initial “real” paycheck, a fashion watch for a girlfriend or spouse, possibly even a graduation present. The price point for a Baume et Mercier is around a few million; just about the cost of a classic fixer upper. Sure, if they were trying to break into the MotoGP crowd with a more affordable timepiece, it’d be a no brainer, but a Wheels and Waves motorcycling event full of kickstarts, bandanas, and tattoos, sounded a bit odd.
