The smooth & elegant fifties styling paired with modern sizes & movements is a perfect match. And now, at SIHH 2014, B&M introduced a few new models: the Clifton Retrograde (pictured), a Chronograph and various ladies models. The Clifton Retrograde has a 43mm stainless steel case. It is equipped with an automatic movement displaying the hours, minutes and seconds from the center. The day is displayed at a subsidiary dial at 9 o'clock, while the date is indicated through a retrograde hand at 3:00. To top it off, a power reserve indicator is found at 6 o'clock. While the time is indicated using gilt hands, the additional complications are all using blue hands. The a-symmetrical lay-out of the dial gives this watch an interesting look - there is something to be seen here!
