This Baume & Mercier Clifton automatic was brought to our watchmaking workshop in Geneva for a complete movement overhaul, along with several exterior restoration procedures.
The initial inspection revealed insufficient water resistance, as well as several components requiring attention or replacement.

Before any work was performed, the watch underwent a series of checks to assess its overall condition.
The inspection revealed:

Why Does a Baume & Mercier Need an Overhaul?
Over time, movement lubricants deteriorate, gaskets lose their effectiveness, and mechanical components gradually wear.
A Baume & Mercier watch overhaul allows the movement, regulation, and water resistance to be thoroughly checked while identifying components that require attention before more serious problems develop.
