The Riviera watch, a legacy of Baume & Mercier design
7.6.2021
Loyal to the original, the Riviera Baumatic returns to the stage in a 42 mm diameter steel case, revisits the fundamentals of the legendary model. The case has the dodecagonal – twelve-sided – bezel, on a built-in steel strap, or on a supple black strap. True in its form and design, an iconic identity.
A smoky blue or gray sapphire dial with a unique decoration that symbolizes the convergence of the mountains and the ocean (water striking stone). The transparency of its opaque dials provides an opportunity to admire the moving gear trains of the Baumatic caliber, which has been known and acclaimed for several years, particularly through its success with the Clifton collection.
A technical jewel, the Baumatic Riviera clearly intends on addressing the expectations of future watch owners seeking excellence and irreproachable quality.
The Baumatic movement also drives the ultimate interpretation of the Riviera by proposing –among other features – a five-day power reserve, a daily precision of -4 s / +6 s, and a magnetic resistance of 1500 Gauss, which provides solid protection against magnetic fields on an everyday basis. Water-resistant to 100 meters. A technical jewel, the Baumatic Riviera clearly intends on addressing the expectations of future watch owners seeking excellence and irreproachable quality.
That’s the Riviera. It was brought forth in Saint-Tropez in the 1970s, and it has always conveyed the values of that cherished – sometimes idealized, always beloved – time. That’s the Riviera. The distinctive style of Baume & Mercier. It expresses the Brand’s essence and forthright simplicity. That’s the Riviera, not any other.
The shape of the original 1973 watch is still present, but it has been updated to our times.
Indeed, it has stood the test of time without batting an eyelid. It is unique. It is reliable. It is athletic. It is authentic. It is “Swiss Made”. It is a Baume & Mercier. It is iconic.
Its name is Riviera Baumatic.
