The story of the Riviera collection

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

The Baume brothers' company is developing rapidly and remains true to its motto "Leave nothing to chance, only manufacture watches of the highest quality", thus building a solid reputation thanks to creations of exceptional quality that combine innovation and modernity.

Launched in 1973collection Riviera revives the spirit of an inspiring era in watchmaking. Here is its authentic 2021 : a steel case generously sized hexagonal bezel secured with four screws, an integrated interchangeable steel bracelet, and the prestigious Baumatic movement. The Riviera 10616 is the quintessential Swiss watch, combining original design with a commitment to adapting to the times.

The new Riviera watches also benefit from the quick-change strap system developed by Baume & Mercier, allowing you to easily switch between a flexible strap and a steel bracelet in seconds. It's child's play!
