 Mens Baume & Mercier Classima MOA8462 By: Baume & Mercier More Information Looks great!  On: 2007-12-23The watch looks great. Understated and elegant. However, the annoying thing is that it does not seem to have any power reserve whatsoever. Leave it unworn for 12 hours or more and I find it coming to a grinding halt. I know its an automatic and needs to be worn and moved around to keep it going but I find it runs down faster than I expected. Great looker, though! Beautiful, classy, high-end watch  On: 2005-07-28This watch is an automatic, dual-time watch, from Baume & Mercier, one of the best and most well-known Swiss watchmakers. I particularly like the way the dual time is indicated: an extra arm on the same movement will point to the second time zone, which avoids having a separate movement and dial and keeps the watch very classy and not crowded at all. Very elegant and stylish. It is also very light. Thickness is about 1/3", which is quite small for an automatic watch. It has the big advantage of not being a quartz watch, which makes it more reliable. In fact a sign of that is that you can see the seconds arm continuously rotate instead of the regular intervals made by quartz watches. Finally, best of all is the beautiful sound of the swiss movement, which I would have given an extra star for! Final note, dont plan on buying this watch anywhere other than on Amazon.com, since its retail price in jewelers from usual malls is approx $1800. I got mine for less than $1300 on Amazon! |
