With the Clifton Club Shelby\u00ae Cobra 1964, the analogy between fine automotive and horological engineering roars at full throttle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.worldtempus.com\/watch-brand\/baume-et-mercier-10\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"edgtf-btn edgtf-btn-medium edgtf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"edgtf-btn-text\">More on Baume &amp; Mercier watch brand<\/span>\n    <i class=\"edgtf-icon-font-awesome fa  edgtf-btn-icon-element\" ><\/i><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pursuing its partnership with Caroll Shelby Inc. that began in 2015, Baume &#038; Mercier enriches the Shelby Collection with a third special series inspired by the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, which in 1964 became the first American car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and also racked up a number of speed records.
