The BM12-1975M is the manual-winding base caliber of the Baumatic family, designed by Manufacture Horlogère ValFleurier for Baume & Mercier. It was the first to feature the innovative TwinSpir hairspring - a composite balance spring combining two layers of silicon at alternating 45-degree angles, bound by a silicon dioxide layer for thermocompensation. This movement debuted in the Clifton Manual 1830 and serves as the foundation for the automatic Baumatic variants.
