The story of the Riviera collection

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 built a solid 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 is its true 2021 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 remains, while perfectly adapting to current trends.

The new Riviera watches also benefit from the ingenious Fast Strap interchangeability system developed by Baume & Mercier , allowing for quick changes between the flexible and steel straps in just a few seconds. It's child's play!
