The individuals featured in the film are sportsmen who are friends in real life. This ensures authenticity in capturing the spirit of Clifton Club. There is nobody better than a group of passionate athletes who embody the beauty of movement and the pleasure gained from practicing their discipline beyond the competitive world.

Now, being that it’s a mechanical watch, I could hear the chatter of watch enthusiasts commenting about how mechanical watches should not be exposed to constant vibration and G powers no matter the specs. The effects of constant and short powerful vibrations to mechanical movements continues to be widely debated on several forums and coated by several posts, some of them by aBlogtoWatch, but it’s generally agreed upon that any strenuous physical activity is best performed together with your mechanical watch spectating from the sidelines. Wearing of mechanical watches through these kinds of activities could harm the self-winding mechanism together with inducing premature wear on the balance wheel.As a perfect testing ground I would be riding a suspension chopped, vibey V-twin Indian Scout Bobber, more than three days, to test these premature wear concepts such as the extra advantage of it being shock resistant and rated to withstand 550 G, that is more than 10 times the jolt exerted onto a body during a fatal motor vehicle accident. With all those specs, I had been feeling pretty confident about the opinion withstanding the vibrations.The additional mechanical machine I would be reviewing are the aforementioned Indian Scout Bobber, a recently not-yet-released version, and I’d be riding one to the next few days at arguably one of the most coveted, covert, two-wheeled gatherings in the motorcycle community. The Bobber was a great compliment to the Clifton Club watch because they both taken an edgier feel contrary to their counterparts in their respective collections, which, as the weekend progressed, revealed to be a really free relationship with similar road maps.
