Baume & Mercier Riviera

Can a watch have a thoroughly sporty design and still look absolutely luxurious? Anyone familiar with the Baume & Mercier Riviera knows that the answer is a resounding “yes”. With the Riviera collection, Baume & Mercier has created a timepiece that radiates pure high quality and at the same time focuses on functional, practical technology.

Baume & Mercier Riviera: sportiness meets luxury

A dodecagonal case, exposed screws and solid stainless steel: the Riviera is a watch that simply cannot be overlooked. Its unique design makes it clear that the Geneva-based manufacturer is not afraid to show a clear edge. At the same time, the watch has an enormously solid look without making a heavy or even clumsy impression. The sportiness of the timepiece is evident both in the models on a steel bracelet and in the versions with a rubber, leather or Alcantara strap, and is emphasized by the luminous hands and broad Roman numerals, among other things.

As far as the design of the dial is concerned, there are all kinds of exciting designs to discover within the Riviera collection. There are, for example, the references with the futuristic-looking, tinted sapphire dials, the feminine models with dials in delicate pink and powdery blue or the masterpieces with a skeletonized dial that reveals the inner workings of the timepieces. Despite their differences, all Riviera watches have one thing in common: they combine the qualities of sophisticated measuring instruments with the exquisite features of luxurious pieces of jewelry.

From date display to tideograph: The functions of Riviera watches

The wide range of design variants gives the viewer of the Baume & Mercier Riviera product line a taste of the broad selection of functions. While functionally simpler models only have a date display, other references have a chronograph function, a tide display, a moon phase, a perpetual calendar or a weekday display. The Riviera therefore offers everything the heart of watch lovers who want to wear the results of the highest craftsmanship on their wrist desires.

The Riviera Collection is part of the Baume & Mercier product series, which includes both quartz and automatic watches. As buyers can always rely on quality and reliability from the Swiss manufacturer, the decision between quartz and mechanical is ultimately a matter of taste.

The Baume & Mercier Riviera - practical instrument and chic accessory

There is no doubt about it: equipped with useful functions such as date, calendar or tideograph, the Riviera timepieces are extremely practical everyday companions. However, their sometimes very special designs - for example with titanium elements, skeletonization or diamond setting - also make them eye-catching accessories. Let's be honest: every watch lover likes to take a closer look when they see interestingly crafted dials or impressively displayed complications. So if you want to avoid being approached about your watch at all costs, you should definitely steer clear of the Baume & Mercier Riviera collection.
