PASTEL-COLORED DIALS FOR THE WOMEN’S WATCHES
RETURN OF THE WHITE DIAL
A GOLD-TONE DIAL FOR AN EXQUISITELY REFINED BAUMATIC TIMEPIECE  
A SPORT-CHIC SPIRIT INSPIRED BY THE FRENCH RIVIERA

Ever swift to capture the spirit of the times and become the companion for each of life’s occasions, the Riviera collection brings its enchantment to the summertime, celebrating the casual elegance and unparalleled conviviality of this season. The legendary dodecagonal silhouette of the timepiece lends itself to particularly radiant new versions. Pastel dials brighten three new women’s pieces: warm silver (Riviera M0A10810), light blue (M0A10811), and pink (M0A10812). The white dial (Riviera M0A10829) makes its big comeback since the reintroduction of the Riviera in 2021, joining the range of blues, blacks, and greens that have made the collection so successful. A gold-tone dial with a vintage aesthetic brings exquisite refinement to a men’s timepiece equipped with a Baumatic movement (M0A10822).

The art of crafting shape watches, magnificently exalted in summer colors

When the ultimate shape watch echoes a season as inspiring and expressive as the summer, the result is a bright aesthetic approach that unleashes lavish creativity. Since it was launched in 1973, the Riviera collection has delighted in endless reinventions while remaining forever loyal to itself. It plays on its own codes, lending the twelve sides of its atypical design to a variety of stylistic inspirations and watchmaking complications.

Meticulously crafted details, fresh tonalities, and refined textures sculpt the tight lines and precise angles of the new Riviera models, warming their dials with a sunny glow. 

The three women’s pieces are an ode to color, bursting with crisp pastel tones. Their intensity is truly stunning. This chromatic palette will delight every woman, offering options for every taste and every moment of the day.

The Riviera M0A10810 has a warm silver dial that is one of the Brand’s signature tones, already available on a self-winding version and another with a gem-set dial. This hue evokes the radiant sun that brings a fiery, incandescent caress to the transparent wave and mountain patterns and sets ablaze the polished satin-polished steel of the case and bracelet. The Riviera M0A10811, with its azure blue dial, captivates the eye with its clear, fresh hue inspired by the rolling waves of the sea or the sparkling depths of a pool beckoning with refreshment. The Riviera M0A10812 is an irresistible temptation in playful, vibrant pink, setting the tone for the cheerful, sweet, carefree times to come.

Relaxing, festive moments with friends in the signature Baume & Mercier style 

Baume & Mercier accompanies all of life’s occasions, making them unique, unforgettable sources of emotion. It dedicates its watchmaking expertise and designer savoir-faire to these precious moments of friendship and sharing. Ease and conviviality prevail, punctuated with laughter, leisure, and recreation. The French Riviera sets the scene with paradisaical coastlines, wild coves, and the streamlined architecture of its chic villas.  Here, life drifts by in effortless leisure: warmed by the sun, shaded by a parasol, or stretched next to a sparkling blue pool where a pink float invites the swimmer to lounge and linger, or simply to plunge a hand into its placid surface for instant invigoration. The refreshment of an ice cream cone, the juicy red flesh of a watermelon, or a glass of homemade ice cream. A pink lounge chair welcoming relaxation. The amber scent of tanning oil mingling with the sun-drenched landscape in a sunrise palette of blue, pink, and warm silver. Pops of color flash from beach towels, sunglasses, and popsicles. A hymn to the summer in the hues of the new Riviera Summer watches by Baume & Mercier

Both elegant and casual, the Riviera is also the perfect companion at sundown for even the most lavish evenings. Its pastel, white, or gold-tone allure and refined finishes bring each one that special aura which makes it so irresistible. More than a watch, it is the natural yet sophisticated expression of a unique style. 

•  RIVIERA M0A10810: the warm silver of a sun-drenched summer 

The dial of this timepiece could be a dazzling tribute to Helios, the Ancient Greek sun god, known in Egypt as Ra and in Ancient Rome as Sol. The transparent wave-and-mountain transfer decoration against the warm tone of sun-satin silver and the scintillating gold-tone hour markers sweep the imagination away to an enthralling, incandescent French Riviera. The Roman numerals, riveted indexes, and faceted hands are adorned with a flamboyant 5N gold plating highlighted with white Superluminova (blue glow). The date clearly appears in a white aperture at 3 o’clock.

The refinement of this model extends to its perfectly proportioned case so distinctive of Baume & Mercier. Its 33 mm diameter and restrained thickness of 9.22 mm brilliantly reconcile the lightness and daintiness of this exquisitely feminine watch. This balance, emanating from the savoir-faire of master watchmakers, brings out the legendary beauty of the twelve-sided bezel. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-glare coating on both sides, it is crafted in satin-polished stainless steel, like its bezel, which is adorned with four screws. The solid case back, in the same dodecagonal shape, may be custom-engraved. The free octagonal crown is adorned with an embossed Phi logo.

The hours, minutes, and dates are driven by a quartz movement with a 10-year autonomy. The water-tightness of the timepiece is 5 ATM (approximately 50 m). 

RIVIERA M0A10811: the azure blue of a Mediterranean summer 

Not to be missed this summer, the Riviera collection takes on a new blue timepiece inspired by the aquatic world. This Riviera offers a refreshing plunge into the waves of its transparent transfer decorations, sprinkled with Roman numerals, riveted indexes, and faceted hour and minute hands, all rhodium-plated and coated with white Superluminova (blue glow). An aperture at 3 o’clock reveals the date.

•  RIVIERA M0A10829: the white of a radiant summer

Carrying the very essence of this collection with a subtle balance between its sparkling, pure white dial – perfect for the summer – and the black of the flange that surrounds it, this timepiece takes a very sought-after aesthetic approach for a beautifully contrasted effect. Against the decoration of waves and mountains, the time is displayed on rhodium-plated Roman numerals and indexes coated with white Superluminova (blue glow). The faceted hour and minute hands are also rhodium-plated and coated with white Superluminova (blue glow), offering a harmonious complement to the dial. Echoing the contrast of the black edge, the black seconds hand brings depth to this immaculate aesthetic.

The dial asserts vertical satin effects that bring it a depth and texture that flatter its beauty. Its gold tone draws its warmth and softness from its vintage inspiration. The meticulous choice of colors masterfully balances the surge of invigorating energy with the restraint of sobriety. A snailed minute track sets the pace for the dial surround, dotted with riveted tone-on-tone golden indexes. The hours and minutes are displayed on rhodium-plated, openworked hands, while the seconds are indicated by a blued steel hand adorned with the Phi logo as a counter-balance.

Precision is a challenge; technical achievement, a strength; attention to detail, an excellence; style, a signature.

And what could make them resonate more precisely than a chronograph?

To express the intensity of fractioning time, the Riviera collection welcomes four new chronographs, available from June, in both modern and vintage versions. 

Revealing the strength of each moment and the magic of emotion; designing the relief of time  

Dedicated to the personal moments lived for oneself, the Riviera Chronograph Flyback (M0A10828), the Riviera Chronograph (M0A10827), and two versions of the Riviera Chronographs 41 mm (M0A10825 and M0A10826) eloquently reveal the individual aficionado’s perception of time.

For this modern man, time is precious. He knows that a single second can make a difference.

This is a promise, spurring him on and making his heart race. He feels so alive.

Any chronograph lover will make the Riviera M0A10825, with its black dial, or the Riviera M0A10826, in a blue version, his favorite playground. All heirs to an existing 43 mm model that has been reworked for a sleeker fit, these timepieces passionately join the race, the hands of their counters setting the pace for their 41 mm case.   

The incarnation of a sport-chic world inspired by the French Riviera

The sport-chic spirit of the Riviera collection is inspired by the French Riviera itself, bringing life to the various facets of this legendary destination. Its dodecagonal case and bezel powerfully echo its sculptural relief. Each subtle reflection of its luminous dials captures contrasting hues, evoking the region’s natural elements – vegetation, minerals, and the sea –, as well as its bohemian-chic atmosphere. The art of living on the Riviera is one of releasing one’s cares, feeling good, enjoying freedom, and seeking out beauty, refinement, purity, and harmony with a natural yet sophisticated elegance. The new Riviera chronographs seize the beauty and intensity of life’s moments that this magical spot offers, between leisurely relaxation, exhilarating water sports, and vibrant, opulent celebrations. The precision and reliability of these high-tech timepieces make them simply unforgettable.

The art of the chronograph at Baume & Mercier  

The history of Baume & Mercier is marked by a constant development of its chronograph expertise. The House triumphed in the most exacting chronometry competitions, including the most prestigious among them: that of the Kew Observatory in England.

In 1887, Baume & Mercier was awarded the best score of the competition – 85.1 points out of 100 – with a split-seconds chronograph. In 1892 it set a record with a score of 91.9 points for a keyless chronometer with a tourbillon escapement. This early success laid the foundation for its reputation in precision and innovation.

The House continued to refine its chronograph competences throughout the late 1930s and on into the 1940s and 1950s, developing chronographs with tachymeter and telemeter scales, culminating in a model featuring a triple date complication and moon phases. These technically advanced timepieces were associated with elegant designs, often in gold, with cushion-shaped or square cases.

The acquisition of C.H. Meylan Watch SA in 1952 enabled the in-house production of movements, significantly ramping up the development process. Baume & Mercier produces chronographs with increasingly complex complications, including full-date functions, moon phases, and specialized totalizers.

All these are integrated into its own movements at its Manufacture in Le Brassus. These timepieces, demonstrating the House commitment to technical precision and elegant design, constitute a heritage of very sought-after chronographs.

The chronograph development continued throughout the following decades with sporty modern collections such as the Malibu line and the Capeland model, representing a revival of the athletic technical chronographs from the early 1990s

The chronograph also made an appearance in the Riviera collection in 1993 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this watch icon. In 1997 it emerged in the Classima Executive line, and in 2024 it made a comeback in the same collection, demonstrating the lasting legacy of Baume & Mercier expertise in chronograph crafting.

Such is the heritage that brings its momentum to the new Riviera models. 

Riviera M0A10828: a Flyback chronograph with a vintage aesthetic 

This limited edition of just 73 timepieces – a number that pays tribute to the launch year of the Riviera collection, 1973 – embodies the quintessence of the chronograph. Its flyback function – which allows the chronograph to be stopped, reset, and restarted at a simple press of a second, identical push button at 4 o'clock –, as well as its telemeter and tachymeter, make it a precious tool, complementing the indication of hours, minutes, small seconds, and date.

Its sophisticated mechanism is beautifully crafted with a luminous brushed vertical gold dial that asserts a vintage touch, precise lines, and exceptional readability. The fine concentric detailing of the chronograph, telemeter, and tachymeter counters is edged with Roman numerals and riveted, rhodium-plated indexes coated with beige Superluminova (blue glow). The faceted, rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, coated with beige Superluminova (blue glow), contrast with the blued steel chronograph seconds hand, which bears the Phi logo as a counterweight, and with the polished blued steel hands of the counters.  A white aperture at 4:30 reveals the date.

Riviera M0A10827: A chronograph with a style full of contrasts 

This version of the Riviera, with its 1950 style, plays on radical yet harmonious black-and-white contrasts. At Baume & Mercier, elegance and understatement always accompany creative freedom. Here, a white dial with a wave decor is edged with a black outer flange that complements the azure black counters.
