At Watches & Wonders 2015, Baume & Mercier's major introduction (for men) was a limited edition pocket watch... in 18k red gold (of course). I knew about this in advance of the show, and I asked myself, "why?" Why would a company interested in offering entry to mid-range luxury watches suddenly release a pocket watch, limited to 30 pieces, with a massive $50,000 price tag? I have to say that after checking out the Clifton 1830 Pocket Watch Five-Minute Repeater, I sort of figured out why.
