In 2022, Baume & Mercier presents two new, ultra-feminine versions of the Riviera, each in an elegant 33 mm diameter, with a Swiss-made self-winding movement and an interchangeable integrated steel bracelet.
The first is adorned with a pink sun satin dial, while the second asserts a white mother-of-pearl dial. The new palette of 33 mm ladies Riviera watches keeps it pared down to the essential: assertive femininity, supreme style and natural flair. The polished / satin-finished strap featuring a reliable, robust interchangeability system for use without tools makes it possible to change looks on a whim. Each one is trustworthy, athletic, elegant and authentic. Each is distinctive of the Riviera style. For todays woman.
RIVIERA
Created in 1973, the Riviera watch returns this year to revive the spirit of a distinguished watchmaking era. One of the Brands icons, it still features the distinctive bezel and streamlined steel watchcase that have brought it such renown. Rather than a revival, the fifth generation of this legendary watch strikes the chord of an authentic renewal.
Some watches stand the test of time. The Riviera is one of those. When it was launched in 1973, Baume & Mercier chose to present a powerful, unique, different, and distinctive watch. At a time when the watchmaking industry could afford to do almost anything, the Riviera broke with traditional codes.

About Baume & Mercier
Quality
Baume & Mercier has been developing its expertise for 190 years. This expertise is based on the principle of manufacture, meaning every stage in the creation of a timepiece is controlled in-house, as is the assembly of its various components. This choice reflects the Maisons strong principles and is a guarentee of the highest quality. This tradition of excellence at Baume & Mercier is based on the design and development of its products at the Maison’s headquarters in Geneva, and on the manufacture process carried out at its manufacture in the Swiss Jura, in Les Brenets. This means that watch production is centralized in Switzerland. Baume & Mercier attracts the best talents to ensure it achieves the ultimate quality and respect for tradition; this has been the Maisons strength since it was founded.
Design & Development
Each of our watches is a result of the passion of our master watchmakers and a desire to innovate, which is reflected in thousands of sketches, hundreds of hours of modelling, and years of development.
The skill of our design studio lies in finding the balance between artistic creativity and technical possibilities, which is the responsibility of our development engineers.
Testing
The assembled calibers and cases are submitted to the most stringent individual tests to ensure every timepiece functions according to Baume & Mercier’s specifications. The mechanical watches are tested on a machine for the movements accuracy and power reserve. Their function controls are also tested: setting the time, jumping date, chronograph and any other complication.
The watches then undergo thermal shock testing, which highlights any hidden flaws. Every watch made at the manufacture in Les Brenets also undergoes a number of visual and aesthetic checks. Lastly, to ensure consistent and flawless quality, each finished piece undergoes a final meticulous check before being sent to one of our approved retailers.
