Swiss luxury watch brand Baume & Mercier presents two new summer edition Riviera Ladies models: M0A10728 and M0A10727.
The RIVIERA M0A10728 comes with a violet dial that evokes reflections on the water at daybreak by taking on the deep, mysterious hue of the dawning day.
Decorated with fine transparent transfer waves, it showcases a remarkable play on color that increases its tone and heightens its energy through the use of light and relief. It immediately captures and captivates the eye. Roman numerals, riveted indexes coated in Superluminova (C1, blue glow), and faceted rhodium-plated hands bring further impact to the dial.
The Phi logo is stamped in relief to adorn the free octagonal crown, a reminder that Baume & Mer-cier chose the Greek letter as an emblem – a reference to the golden ratio – in an allusion to the pre-cious lines and attention to detail that are so central to the Brand.
The hours and minutes tick smoothly away, driven by a quartz movement with a ten-year autonomy, while the date appears in an aperture at 3 o’clock. The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (approx. 50m).
The RIVIERA M0A10727 model features a blue sun-satin dial, adorned with a transparent wave transfer decoration, brings to mind the color of the water as it mirrors the blazing sun throughout the day.
The date appears in an aperture at 3 o’clock, while the hours and minutes are indicated on Roman numerals and riveted indexes coated in Superluminova (C1, blue glow) by faceted rhodium-plated hands.
The display is orchestrated by a quartz movement with a ten-year autonomy. The brand’s emblem, the Phi logo, appears in relief on the free octagonal crown. The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (approx. 50m).
Both of these new Riviera watches, in violet and in blue, assert a watch case that appears even more refined in the perfect proportions for a woman’s wrist. In a 33-mm diameter with a thickness of 9.6 mm, the case harmoniously nestles against the arm, enhancing every gesture with elegance and ethereality.
These color variations harmonize perfectly with the dodecagonal case that has brought success to the Riviera collection since its beginnings. Its unique design, which defied the trends in vogue when it was first launched, embodies the artistic sensitivity and visionary spirit of Baume & Mercier, for whom the development of a timepiece is comparable to that of a designer object.
Both models have a case crafted in polished and satin-finished stainless steel that is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-glare coating on both sides. The polished and sun-satin stainless steel bezel is fastened with four polished steel screws. The case back reflects the same dodecagonal shape. It may be engraved with a personalization.
The Riviera watch design features an integrated strap in polished and satin-finished stainless steel which has three rows of links perfectly arranged around the case, an aesthetic choice that helps rein-force its designer appearance. The interchangeable strap may be removed without the need for tools thanks to the reliable, robust “Fast Strap” system.
Both new Riviera models feature this strap, which fastens using a triple folding buckle with security push-pieces.
