Baume & Mercier and Ralph Lauren unveil new watch collections

Baume & Mercier has introduced new additions to its Clifton collection for 2025, featuring a custom “glacier blue” shade. The collection includes a 39 mm Clifton Baumatic with a five-day power reserve, limited to 500 pieces, and a 40 mm perpetual calendar version with a moon phase, limited to 20 pieces. The Swiss manufacturer, which recently joined the Damiani group, utilizes guilloché patterns on the dials to enhance light reflection.

Ralph Lauren is expanding its horological offerings for autumn 2026 with the Polo Bear Tuxedo Watch. This 38 mm automatic timepiece features a polished steel case and an off-white lacquered dial with three-dimensional Polo Bear figures depicting Ralph and Rickie Lauren in evening wear. The design includes red lacquered hands and a black grosgrain strap inspired by tuxedo aesthetics.
