The Riviera collection cultivates this way of life as an integral part of its neat, confident aesthetic. That expression takes the shape of a dodecagonal case and bezel which echo the twelve hours around its dial, considered revolutionary upon its launch in 1973. Its free spirit is chic yet casual, focusing on natural refinement, quality crafting, and comfort. These four watches put the emphasis on design in the respect of the formal principles of Baume & Mercier: perfect proportions and precise lines.
Harmonious colors and materials are on point for the Maison. The summer season inspires four timepieces in sunny tones, revealing the purity of a cultured mother-of-pearl white, the sweetness of a candy pink, the limpidity of an azure blue, and the freshness of a minty green. Each cheerful shade brings positive energy to the mother-of-pearl or sun-satin dial and rubber strap, creating a play on contrast between finishes and textures. These bright, visually emphatic timepieces demonstrate the practiced savoir-faire and stylistic heritage of Baume & Mercier.
This event is organized in exclusive collaboration with Baume & Mercier partner Gübelin. This cooperation will include the possibility to book sales appointments to discover the latest Baume & Mercier creations at the Gübelin boutique in Geneva.
