The history of Baume & Mercier begins in 1830.The brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume opened a watchmaking shop in Les Bois in the Swiss Jura.

The Baume Brothers ' company quickly grew in size and, true to its motto "Leave nothing to chance, only manufacture watches of the highest quality" , it forged a fine reputation through the creation of exceptional pieces incorporating cutting-edge innovations .

Born in 1973 , the Riviera watch revives the spirit of an inspiring era in watchmaking this year. Here it is in 2021 in its authentic version: a generously sized steel case , a dodecagonal bezel secured with four screws , an integrated interchangeable steel bracelet , and the prestigious Baumatic manufacture caliber – the Riviera 10616 is the quintessential Swiss watch . The original design is still there, as is the desire to adapt to the times.

The new Riviera watches also benefit from the ingenious Fast Strap interchangeability system developed by Baume & Mercier, which allows you to change the flexible or steel strap in seconds. It's child's play!
