Swiss luxury watch brand Baume & Mercier has added three new chronograph watches into the iconic Riviera collection.
Introduced in 1973, Riviera conveys the values of joy and carefree living that were synonymous with the free-spirited seventies. This year, the watch has been redesigned following Baume & Mercier’s Swiss know-how and integrating contemporary style codes.
Representing the fifth generation of the Riviera, the new collection was presented at Watches & Wonders 2021 with automatic 42-mm models, while top-of-the-range Baumatic versions in the same size were the standout stars of the collection.
The brand has added three variations of the new Riviera chronograph, whose diameter measures 43 mm. These three watches with assertive characters fit perfectly with this tradition. Staying true to the design of the original pieces, the Riviera automatic chronographs echo the legendary watch: a 12-sided bezel, a dial with a unique wave-shaped decoration symbolising the meeting between a mountain and the ocean, and interchangeable straps – using the Fast Strap system developed by the Brand – in steel or rubber.
Two versions are available, with a polished and satin-brushed steel case. The first is adorned with a blue sun satin-finished dial and a matching blue rubber strap. The second has a black sun satin-finished dial and an integrated steel bracelet. The third design completely black: a black case in microblasted ADLC-steel, a black sun satin-finished dial and a black rubber strap.
These new Riviera chronographs are equipped with the legendary “Swiss made” automatic movement Valjoux 7750 with a 48-hour power reserve and runs at 28,800 vph, or 4 Hertz.
Each model features a double day-date window at three o’clock, a small second hand at 9 o’clock and two sub-dials for chronograph functions: a minute counter at 12 o’clock and an hour counter at 6 o’clock.
The smartly designed case/bracelet integration provides the Riviera with beautifully balanced proportions as well as increased comfort for its wearer. The three new chronograph models are fitted with interchangeable straps that have a triple folding buckle and a safety clasp. They also feature the ingenious “Fast Strap” interchangeability system developed by Baume & Mercier, so the flexible or steel bracelet can be changed quickly.

Following the success of a first Baume Skate – HRS edition timepiece in 2018, and the Baume Ski – Zag Editions in 2019, Swiss watch brand Baume & Mercier presents a new Baume Skate timepiece in collaboration with the young and talented French skateboarder Aurelien Giraud.
The new Baume Skate Aurelien Giraud Special Edition, featuring an automatic SW200 movement, has a 42mm casing made using used skate decks from Aurélien and production excesses that were plan to be destroyed making the Baume Skate a new symbol of the concept of upcycling.
A blue anodized aluminium container encapsulates the movement and clips onto the casing to protect the movement from any external damage and ensures water-resistance.
The shape of the casing was made using a machine to make several discs in the skate decks, which were then treated using water-based resin to strengthen the wood, whilst ensuring it remained 100% airtight.
The processing and finishing of the cases were completed in Switzerland using a combination of traditional man operated processes and digital machines. Keeping in line with Baume & Mercier watchmaking roots, the Baume Skate Aurelien Giraud Special Edition cases were finished off with a “handmade” feel.
This special timepiece features a dial made out of original grip tape that you can find on every skate deck. A subtle element creating a luminous yet completely new effect on the dial and paying tribute to one the key material of the skate culture. This grip tape centred disk is rotating based on a 12h rhythm illustrating the will of the Baume collection to introduce out-of-the-box time display.
The hour hand being symbolized by the Baume logo and giving the impression to the owner that he is wearing a mono-hand timepiece. It’s not about making time stand still, it’s about making time move differently.
The dial is mixing red and blue tones echoing Aurelien’s favourite colours giving to the timepiece a masculine yet stylish aesthetic. The back engraving has been made possible by the use of a thermal laser for a high-quality look and the back sapphire glass is displaying Aurelien’s signature.
The Baume Skate Aurelien Giraud Special Edition is mounted on a cotton strap that is fixed to steel black PVD lugs thanks to the unique Baume’s collection interchangeable strap button system. The black cotton strap is built with multiple applications such as lining or a red tag merged with Aurelien’s initials into the strap and is featuring a black cork back lining for even more comfort on wrist.

Baume & Mercier Hampton is a famous watch with a rectangular case that was unconventional and avant-garde when it was launched. It was designed in tribute to Art Deco, the famous artistic movement of the early 20th century. This year, the Swiss luxury brand reveals four new Hampton watches, offering a procession of materials, shapes, contrasts and colors, featuring a broad variety of interchangeable straps to suit every whim.
Baume & Mercier Hampton 10631
The Art Deco elements remain distinctive, yet they blend into each piece, allowing them to be personalized and adapted on a whim. The new Hamptons feature a small case equipped with a long-lasting quartz movement and a solid case back.
Baume & Mercier Hampton 10628
This refined watch features a red agate, set into the cabochon-shaped crown. This semi-precious stone is known for its grounding properties, providing stability, harmony and relief.
The small watch case in polished 18K pink gold asserts its finesse with a titanium back that protects the long-lasting quartz movement. The grained texture of the opaline silver dial adds a soft, slight contrast.
The domed sapphire crystal allows the light to filter between the gold-tone hands, revealing the Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock, as well as riveted rhodium-plated indexes in a matching gold tone. The gray minute track discreetly emphasizes the rectangular shape characteristic of the Hampton watches.
The tone-on-tone overstitched orange calfskin strap brings out the beauty of the gold case. As in the other pieces from the collection, a straight spring-bar system makes it possible to change the supple strap easily, on a whim.
Baume & Mercier Hampton 10629
This Hampton watch by Baume & Mercier reveals a synthetic blue spinel set into its delicate cabochon-shaped crown.
The polished steel case brings the piece a contemporary character. Its small size, 35 x 22.2 mm, 6.9 mm thickness, and finesse, make it a delightful, airy watch to wear. Its wrap-around strap lightly embraces the wrist and fastens with a delicate pin buckle.
Its domed sapphire crystal is a subtle reference to the rounded curves characteristic of Art Deco. The grained texture of the opaline silver dial accentuates the shape of the case, of which the concentric rectangular designs create an illusion of depth.
The dial features Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock as well as riveted rhodium-plated indexes, creating a perfect symmetry for the “glaive” hands that gracefully sweep along them. Its edge is adorned with a midnight blue minute track which coordinates with the hue of the calfskin strap topped with Art Deco designs.
Baume & Mercier Hampton 10630
This slightly offbeat model offers a contemporary interpretation of the Hampton collection. A black agate is set into the cabochon-shaped crown. The virtues of this stone include focusing scattered energies and providing stability and self-confidence.
This variation is based on the same rectangular polished steel case and has the same finesse, but the effect is very different. The rectangle, echoed several times on the dial by a sun satin-finished opaline green, provides the ultimate geometric Art Deco effect. Its look is enhanced by a double minute track in frosted silver.
Its shine brings an unprecedented depth to what remains a streamlined piece. Riveted rhodium-plated digits and indexes add the watchmaker’s touch. The black canvas strap emphasizes the true uniqueness of this watch, far from traditional codes. However, it is possible to mount the watch case on a metal or calfskin strap, since the interchangeability system is available on all the collection’s pieces.
Baume & Mercier Hampton 10631
This diamond-set Hampton model features a cabochon-shaped crown, which is set with a green chrysoprase stone. The polished steel case is featured here in its small version, 35×22.2 mm. Fine, feminine and graceful. As an ultimate touch of refinement, each side of the case is set with a total of 28 diamonds, which extend down to elegantly emphasize its rounded horns.
The grained opaline silver dial features Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock as well as riveted rhodium-plated indexes, creating a perfect symmetry for the “glaive” hands that gracefully sweep around them. A gray minute track runs around the edge for a more understated look.
The watch is presented with an integrated three-row strap in polished / satin-finished steel topped with a triple folding clasp.
Created in 1973, the Baume & Mercier Riviera watch echoes the spirit of a distinguished watchmaking era. Known for its twelve-sided bezel reflecting the twelve hours displayed on its dial, this unique wristwatch has been relaunched by the Swiss watch brand.
Revived in 2021, the Riviera strikes a balance between its roots in avant-garde ‘70s design and the sport-minded classicism of today’s watches. More than any other, the Riviera collection demonstrates the expertise of Baume & Mercier in the field of unusually shaped watches. Its uncompromisingly creative approach and recreational aspirations express the essence of the iconic Swiss brand’s style, then and now.
The new generation Riviera watch is available in three size variations, each in steel: diameters of 36 mm, 42 mm and 43 mm. Loyal to the original, the “Swiss Made” self-winding Riviera in a 42 mm diameter revisits the fundamentals of the legendary model.
It has a dodecagonal – twelve-sided – bezel, true it its form; a unique decoration (blue, black or silver) that symbolizes the convergence of the mountains and the ocean; and interchangeable straps in steel or blue rubber for a “full blue” version. The shape of the original 1973 watch is still present, but it has been updated to suit the demands of the modern era.
In a 36 mm diameter, the Riviera addresses active, independent women with assertive personalities. As feminine as can be, it is driven by a “Swiss Made” quartz movement; its steel version is adorned with an azure blue or silver dial, while its rubber strap version features a black dial.
A self-winding version equipped with a tried-and-true “Swiss Made” movement is also available as part of this refined line; and like the entire women’s collection, it is water-resistant to 50 meters (the men’s timepieces are water-resistant to 100 meters).
Last but not least, the Riviera also docks at the marina to showcase a luxury version equipped with the in-house BAUMATIC caliber, which has been known and acclaimed for several years, particularly through its success with the Clifton collection.
The BAUMATIC movement also drives the ultimate interpretation of the Riviera by proposing –among other features – a five-day power reserve, a daily precision of -4 s / +6 s, and a magnetic resistance of 1500 Gauss, which provides solid protection against magnetic fields on an everyday basis.
A technical jewel, the BAUMATIC Riviera clearly intends on addressing the expectations of future watch owners seeking excellence and irreproachable quality.
The BAUMATIC Riviera is available with a smoky blue decorated sapphire dial on a built-in steel strap, or with a smoky gray decorated sapphire dial on a supple black strap. The transparency of its opaque dials provides an opportunity to admire the moving gear trains of the BAUMATIC.

In this new Classima timepiece, the moon phase appears through an elegant, unique cut-out in the dial that reveals a polished, blue lacquered rhodium-plated moon disk.
The full rotation of the disk, which takes 29 days to complete, breathes life into this poetic complication. It is enhanced by a white mother-of-pearl dial adorned with a sunray guilloché transfer featuring Roman numerals and rhodium-plated indexes set with eight diamonds.
The blue-painted leaf hands accentuate the date aperture at 3 o’clock. The 34mm diameter round case in polished steel, adorned with a cabochon-shaped crown, asserts an open case back which offers a view of the self-winding movement, equipped with a 38-hour power reserve.
The Classima Moonphase Automatic Swiss-made timepiece is mounted on a blue alligator strap evoking the depth of the night sky. The interchangeable strap, all in square scales with tone-on-tone overstitching, fastens with a steel pin buckle.

For watch enthusiasts seeking a beautiful timepiece that is easy to wear, Baume & Mercier presents two elegant Classima self-winding watches that mingle watchmaking codes with refined materials. Two models are available: 31mm and 39mm.
In its 31 mm version, the round 18K pink gold case features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that reveals a delicate white mother-of-pearl dial emphasized by a graceful iridescent minute track. Gold-tone leaf hands lightly sweep along it, pointing to each gold-tone Roman numeral and index in turn.
A date aperture appears at 3 o’clock, to the left of the cabochon-shaped crown, for a more feminine touch. The result is elegant and streamlined. Turning the piece over, the open case back – in sapphire and titanium – reveals a self-winding movement that beats to the pace of the hours, minutes and seconds.
This classic watch with 31mm case is presented on a black alligator strap with square scales, tone-on-tone overstitching, and a pin buckle.
Its interchangeability system makes it possible to adapt any other style of strap to this precious watch case in order to bring the piece a totally different look suitable for the occasion.
The 39mm model also houses a self-winding movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Its 18K pink gold case has an open back in sapphire and titanium to show off the movement.
Its opaline silver dial has a luminous hue that reveals gold-tone Roman numerals and indexes emphasized by coordinated gold-tone leaf hands. A delicate minute track runs all the way around, emphasizing the surround with a modern, streamlined approach.
An aperture at 3 o’clock shows the date. For a more traditional touch, this Swiss-made piece is mounted on an interchangeable black alligator leather strap with square scales and tone-on-tone overstitching, topped with a gold-tone pin buckle.

During Watches and Wonders 2021, Baume & Mercier unveiled two new Classima models which reveal a sun satin-finished slate-gray dial. These watches follow the current fashion trends. Pantone has selected “Ultimate Grey” as the color of the year, along with a bright yellow called “Illuminating”. This particular grey shade (PANTONE 17-5104) is inspired by the pebbles on the beach.
The new Classima watch with Ultimate Grey dial is available in two sizes: 31 mm and 42 mm. The 31 mm Classima is driven by a self-winding movement with a 42-hour power reserve.
This movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The 8.25 mm polished stainless steel case makes it a comfortable wrist adornment with detailed finishes including a cabochon-shaped crown.
The sun satin-finished slate-gray dial reveals a date aperture at 3 o’clock. As an elegant finishing touch, it features rhodium-plated Roman numerals and eight diamond-set indexes, flattered by the delicate sweep of rhodium-plated leaf hands. This timepiece is presented with an integrated, interchangeable five-row steel strap featuring a triple folding clasp.
The 42 mm model also houses a self-winding movement, this time with a 38-hour power reserve. Its polished stainless steel case has a solid case back, ideal for personalized engraving. The sapphire crystal front glass reveals a gray dial with radiant undertones emanating from the sun satin effect of the slate gray.
The Roman numerals and indexes emphasize the flange surrounding the dial, lightly swept by the blue-tinted leaf hands. An aperture displays the date at 3 o’clock.
This piece is mounted on an interchangeable blue canvas strap, lending it a casual style. It is easy to change the strap for any occasion to bring this model a completely different look thanks to the simple interchangeability system, which requires no tools. The customers may even opt for a trendy color combination by selecting a colorful strap from the broad range of pantones available in calfskin.

Swiss luxury watch brand BAUME & MERCIER continues its commitment to the planet with the launch of a new model: the BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition.
Available in two color versions, blue and green, this new BAUME watch is created in collaboration with Waste Free Oceans (WFO) and SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, two partners that collect plastic debris from the seas to transform them into innovative products. The BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition represents the combination of balanced design, technical expertise and a unique vision of watchmaking that inspires the Brand on a daily basis.
The BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition is the first creation released since BAUME was integrated as a collection into the Baume & Mercier family in last May. This model symbolizes the Brand’s intention to establish an ecological ethic and to pursue the path that it began in 2018 with BAUME. The collaboration with the NGO WFO and the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE reflects this approach, which combines two key beliefs in the Brand’s development: eco-responsibility and innovation.
The BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition watch reflects the unique design that brought Baume success, with an off-center crown located at 12 o’clock, and moving in black anodized aluminum. The 42mm case is crafted using a recycled plastic cap produced by the NGO WFO, a historical partner of BAUME; and the case is then sheathed in blue or green anodized aluminum.
The cap is made up of 80% recycled plastic gathered by the partner NGO Waste Free Oceans and reinforced with 20% glass fibers to increase its resistance. To craft the case of the BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition in recycled materials, Baume & Mercier worked in close collaboration with WFO, selecting the plastic debris from the ocean that offers the highest performance, durability, and quality.
In deep gray, the streamlined dial features a mise en abyme effect created by various layers and finishes. On the strength of its design expertise, BAUME & MERCIER offers an original time display with a central hour hand for a very unique look. In oceanic blue, the aluminum flange creates a strong contrast, bringing even more character to this resolutely eco-responsible timepiece.
Driven by a tried-and-true “Swiss Made” self-winding mechanical movement (SW-200), water-resistant to 30 meters, the BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition was assembled in the Baume & Mercier workshops in Les Brenets at the heart of the Swiss Jura, and so it benefits from the Brand’s full expertise.
The BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition watch is equipped with an interchangeable strap in a material called SEAQUAL® YARN, made with upcycled marine plastic. The gray RPET strap features blue or green overstitching, trimmed with black along the edge and lined with natural cork for optimal comfort in wear.
Like its predecessors, the BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition will be presented in a hexagonal package made of recyclable cardboard and lined with recycled polyester felt.
In keeping with the BAUME commitment – donating 2% for each BAUME timepiece purchased, Baume & Mercier is committed to donating 5% of its sales from the BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition collection to the NGOs Waste Free Oceans and SEAQUAL INITIATIVE in order to contribute to coordinated actions combating marine pollution. 5% is symbolic, representing the importance of the five oceans in our daily lives.

Following the announcement made in May 2020, Swiss luxury watchmaker BAUME & MERCIER formalizes the return of BAUME in the form of a collection featuring six models and two limited editions: BAUME OCEAN.
BAUME & MERCIER continues to write its story by integrating a new collection to its portfolio, a BAUME collection focusing on three strong design codes: an off-center crown at 12 o’clock in the spirit of the pocket watch; moving lugs for better comfort; and a system of interchangeable straps with buttons for more convenience.
The BAUME collection includes six contemporary models with different looks: Three 35mm quartz models and three 41mm models. This new BAUME & MERCIER collection remains loyal to the BAUME aesthetic, with a contemporary approach combining creativity, convenience and respect for the environment.
BAUME & MERCIER stands by the fundamental BAUME aesthetic while introducing to each model a colored flange in a color coordinating with that of the small seconds hand and the overstitching on the strap.
All the straps are crafted in natural materials, and they are interchangeable thanks to a recycled button system. A cork lining on the strap provides absolute comfort for everyday wear and the color of the thread used to attach the button also coordinates with the color of the watch!
BAUME & MERCIER continues to explore its new vision of watchmaking which began in 2018 by presenting a collection containing no precious materials or animal products and also by recycling unused components.
BAUME’s interchangeable straps are crafted in natural, upcycled or recycled textiles such as RPET. The packaging continues to be reduced to the strict minimum, thanks to a special hexagonal package made of FSC-certified cardboard.
In keeping with its commitment to its clients, current BAUME strap selection will be available for purchase on the brand’s e-commerce platform, enabling BAUME wearers to accessorize their favorite model.
As part of the brand commitment in keeping with a circular economy, BAUME & MERCIER is committed to donating 2% of sales from each BAUME model to NGOs throughout the world, including WASTE FREE OCEANS.

A watchmaking project that began in 2018, BAUME has the ambition to bring a breath of fresh air to traditional watchmaking based on minimalist design, respect for the environment, and the full personalisation of watches. BAUME is now entering the second phase of its development by joining BAUME & MERCIER.
Since it was created, BAUME has been driven by its commitment to design and social responsibility, namely through partnerships with Waste Free Oceans, Digital For The Planet, WREN and other worthwhile causes. BAUME offers its clients a new watch experience, featuring the full personalisation of watches, a principally online distribution, and the use of innovative materials that enter into the circular economy.
After two years of development, BAUME is joining BAUME & MERCIER. This alliance will enable the BAUME project to develop more quickly, supported by the power of BAUME & MERCIER, and in turn it will offer BAUME & MERCIER the benefit of the expertise of the young brand on the key subjects of innovation and eco-responsibility which will sustain its own future developments.
From now on, BAUME will be presented as a BAUME & MERCIER watch collection in its own right while maintaining its unique aesthetic and eco-responsible philosophy. The BAUME collection will now enjoy the “Swiss Made” label and will be produced at the BAUME & MERCIER workshops located in Les Brenets, in the Swiss Jura.
These watches will symbolize the social responsibility commitments made by the House, which has been advocating innovation and design with respect for watchmaking traditions since it was founded in 1830. In keeping with its policy, BAUME & MERCIER will continue to operate a customer service to provide assistance to anyone who has purchased a BAUME watch over the last two years.
Along the lines of its collaborations with the ZAG ski brand and the HRS skateboard brand, the first BAUME watch will represent the concept of upcycling through a collaboration with the NGO Waste Free Oceans – now a partner of BAUME & MERCIER –, which collects plastic litter in the ocean and transforms them into new-generation materials. The first BAUME watch will be launched soon.
The Baume & Mercier Hampton watch features a unique style emblematic of the Art Deco movement and is immediately distinctive for its unique design, expressed through a rectangular watch case. In 2020, the Hampton collection reveals new silhouettes and offers shapes that pay tribute to the world-renowned architectural movement of the 1920s. In the image of the great Art Deco trends of the day, the curves of the Hampton watch take precedence over right angles and give beauty to the light gliding on smooth surfaces.
The new pieces feature polished steel cases available in three sizes:
35 x 22.2 mm (small)
43 x 27.5 mm (medium)
48 x 31 mm (large)
The self-winding pieces have a sapphire back with four screws, while the quartz versions have a closed back.
The dials, protected by a domed sapphire crystal, are adorned with contemporary Arabic numerals emphasized by riveted indexes and accentuated by sword-shaped hands. The design with pure forms, combined with the perfectly balanced proportions of the watch, bring the piece a subtle fluidity and softness and offers clear visibility of the time. This creative approach is similar to that of the famous architectural movement, combining functionality with luxury.
Baume & Mercier Hampton Quartz Small – Steel Case, Sun satin-finished blue dial, Steel Bracelet, Reference M0A10476
The diamond set dial in white mother-of-pearl, opaline silver, and sunray satin-polished blue dials are all adorned with a delicate grey minute track. The watches are driven by a new generation quartz movement with an optimised 7-year reliability.
The men’s timepieces come to life with the three-hand self-winding movements, of which the oscillating mass of the hour, minute and small seconds hands is decorated with the “Côtes de Genève” design. Depending on the model, each watch features a 38 or 42 hour power reserve.
Baume & Mercier Hampton Automatic Small Seconds with Date, Large – Steel Case, Opaline and grained silver-coloured, Alligator Strap, Reference M0A10528
The passing time appears on silver-tone and grained dials with various opaline textures. The contemporary sword-shaped black ruthenium hands add character, masterfully contrasting with the hue of the dial. A bicolour black and grey minute track structures the entire dial.
The relief, hues, shapes and materials all point to the Art Deco spirit of this collection. Every accent of these new pieces showcases the spirit of this artistic movement, on both the ladies’ and men’s pieces.
The Hampton is also available in a version featuring a large date with dual time zone and day/night indicator: this is one of the notable pieces of the collection. The piece has a 42-hour power reserve. This watch, too, expresses refinement down to the finest detail. The self-winding Soprod TT651 movement is enhanced with a “Côtes de Genève” design.
Baume & Mercier Hampton Automatic Big Date with Dual Time, Large – Steel Case,Opaline and grained silver-coloured dial and Alligator Strap
Hampton watches are mounted on metal bracelets that may be interchanged according to your whims.
With a touch of modernity and freshness, the ladies’ watches play on colour. They make way for trendy pantones such as liquorice and the very elegant light brown. New this year, there is also a collection of eleven additional calfskin straps in radiant hues: ocean, coral, turquoise, lime, green, black, orchid, mauve, passion fruit, poppy and mango, not to mention a light brown wrap-around strap with cream overstitching. A piece featuring a pastel strap also brightens the summer style, in a captivating sky blue exclusively developed by Baume & Mercier.
For a dressier look, the Hampton offers a sleek three-row satin-polished metal bracelet. The men’s pieces are mounted on a black alligator strap with square scales, emphasised by grey overstitching and equipped with a triple folding clasp with safety push-pieces. Men’s styles are also offered in various strap colours and options, thanks to an additional selection offering trendy hues such as brown, grey and navy blue.

Baume & Mercier expands their Clifton Baumatic collection three new timepieces. The new collection includes a day-date with moon-phase model, a moon-phase with date model and a COSC-certified date version. These new pieces reinforce the traditional watch character of this elegant, timeless collection. The self-winding movements powering these timepieces feature high horlogerie finishes: The bridges feature a beaded finish, while the baseplate is sand-blasted and snailed. The bi-directionally wound oscillating mass is visible through a sapphire caseback, open-worked and decorated with traditional Côtes de Genève designs.
Available with a rose gold or a steel case, this model is equipped with an in-house movement featuring day-date and moon phase complications. This self-winding movement features a 5-day power reserve.
The round 42 mm case with satin-polished double-bevelled edges emphasizes the gradated lacquered grey dial.
The dial reveals the moon phases against a starry sky background accentuated by the smoky grey sapphire crystal. It is adorned by riveted trapezoid-shaped hour markers and elegant golden alpha-shaped hands. A domed sapphire crystal with a glare-resistant coating offers excellent readability.

The Classima collection combines the authenticity of Baume & Mercier watchmaking expertise with a timeless design, offering men’s and women’s timepieces with classic, discreet elegance.
This year, Baume & Mercier extends the Classima collection with three new men’s models: a complete calendar watch with chronograph, a dual time version and a version with small seconds display. Each model features a luminous deep blue dial enhanced with a “grain d’orge” decor.
Baume & Mercier Classima Dual Time
The self-winding mechanical calibre may be admired through the sapphire case back of the 42 mm steel case. The oscillating weight is adorned with Côtes de Genève, snailed decors and Baume & Mercier characteristic Phi logo.
Each model is available on a matte alligator strap with wide square scales or on a steel bracelet for a more distinctive, sport-inspired character.

In this model, Baume & Mercier chose to combine two useful features: the chronograph and the complete calendar.
This watch not only displays the chronograph functions and hours, minutes and small seconds at 9 o’clock; it also features a calendar. The 24-hour indicator makes a clear distinction between day and night. In keeping with tradition, the days and months are displayed in apertures at 12 o’clock. The date is indicated on the perimeter of the Dial by an additional central hand. And to complete the Dial, the moon phases (29.5 days) are displayed at 6 o’clock.

Baume & Mercier Classima Central Hand Dual Time
The Classima dual time watch is dedicated for globe-trotters. While the day’s date is displayed in an aperture traditionally located at 3 o’clock, this Classima goes one step further by proposing a dual time complication. In other words, an additional central hand indicates a second time zone in an elegant, legible way.
While the local time – hours, minutes and seconds – is shown on the three classical central hands, the second time zone may be read upon arriving at destination by checking the red hand that ticks around a round two-tone scale with 24-hour graduations. The white portion indicates the hours of the day, while the blue portion is dedicated to the hours of the night.

Baume & Mercier Classima Small Seconds
Watchmakers have a number of ways to display seconds on a Dial. Among these, the best known remains the sweep seconds, which consists of a central hand that moves around the Dial each minute. In terms of popularity, this essential is closely followed by the small seconds.
This refined detail, appreciated by aficionados of beautiful watches, indicates the seconds thanks to an auxiliary Dial located at 6 o’clock. Completed in this model by the display of the date in an aperture, this useful feature is a tasteful addition to this elegant yet understated Classima.

Attractive and modern, the Clifton Club GMT watch has been designed to accompany its wearers on all occasions, whether professional or personal. Powered by a Swiss self-winding mechanical movement, with the second time zone displayed by a central hand and the date visible in an aperture at 3 o’clock, this new reference has many advantages, including a 42-hour power reserve.
With a diameter of 42mm, its polished/satin-finished stainless steel case, equipped with a protected crown, fits all wrists. Even better, thanks to a contained thickness of 10.6 mm, the Clifton Club GMT watch slips easily under a shirt sleeve, combining discretion with sportiness.
The time in the second meridian is read by a central hand and a deep azure blue aluminium bezel, graduated over 24 hours. A sensational complication for globetrotters, the instant display of a second time-zone makes it possible to see at a glance the local time and the reference time at home.
With a design that is both contemporary and classic, this reference leaves nothing to chance; every detail has been carefully considered. Its screw-down crown and the opaline black of its dial give it a sporty look, evoking both refinement and performance. To be totally legible in the dark, the hour and minute hands and the Phi logo at 12 o’clock are coated with white Superluminova blue emission.
The robust Clifton Club GMT is also equipped with an antiglare scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-down full case back decorated with the Clifton Club coat of arms; all ensuring a water-resistance of 10 ATM, to a depth of 100 metres.
The Clifton Club GMT is available in two versions, with two bracelets. The first option: a black “All Road” calfskin strap decorated with sailcloth-like patterns and a blue rubberised calfskin lining.
The second option: a polished/satin-finished three-row stainless steel bracelet. Both bracelets feature an adjustable triple folding buckle and two stainless steel side push-pieces for maximum safety and an easy opening.

Originally made of stainless steel, the Clifton Club watch is presented this year in a bronze version, giving it a unique neo-retro charm. It is available in four dial versions (black, brown, blue, green). This trendy new edition in bronze also retains everything that has made the Clifton Club model such a success: a distinctive design combining elegance, sporting prowess, functionality and wearing comfort.
With a universal diameter of 42mm, the polished/satin-finished bronze case of this new Clifton Club will acquire a patina over time. At the heart of this exceptional case which is only 10.3 mm thick, is a proven “Swiss made” self-winding mechanical movement with 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz).
The sporty lines of the Clifton Club Bronze are also highlighted by its screw-down bronze crown, its unidirectional rotating bezel, water-resistance to 10 ATM and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The screw-down stainless steel case back is decorated with the Clifton Club collection coat of arms.
The Clifton Club Bronze is available in four versions. The first is the black dial and black “All Road” calfskin version with sailcloth-like patterns and a blue rubberised calfskin lining – available with an additional brown nubuck calfskin strap.
The second version has a brown dial and a brown nubuck calfskin strap with off-white topstitching and an additional black rubber strap. The third version has a blue dial and blue rubber strap.
The fourth version has a green dial and a brown nubuck calfskin strap with off-white topstitching. Again, for these two last references, an additional bracelet is available: a black calfskin strap with a green rubberised calfskin lining.
Each bracelet is equipped with a pin buckle with stainless steel loops.

Swiss luxury watch brand Baume & Mercier presented eight Classima Lady steel watches at SIHH 2019. With new dials and sizes, and with quartz and automatic movements, the collection has been designed to offer every woman her ideal timepiece. Two jewelled models with mother-of-pearl dial and diamond-set case are now being added to enhance the collection.
The Classima Lady line is defined by its elegant simplicity. This year, 27 mm and 34 mm diameter versions are joining the existing 31 mm models. Each one features the classic hours and minutes functions as well as a date display at 3 o’clock on the dial. All are mounted on a five-row stainless steel bracelet featuring a triple folding clasp with security push-pieces.
Automatic Classima Lady
Attention to detail in the design gives each timepiece a unique identity. The automatic watches are instantly recognisable with their Roman numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. They also feature a transparent sapphire case back through which the movement can be admired. There are beautifully feminine models with silver-plated dial and refined circular-grained minute track, as well as models with mother-of-pearl dial and diamond hour-markers.
Diamond-Set Classima Lady
Capturing the essence of femininity, this timepiece showcases a radiant dial in white mother-of pearl enhanced by a diamond-set bezel. The Diamond-Set Classima Lady comes in a 31 mm case and is available in a quartz or automatic version. The automatic model features an elegant minute track that complements the dial.

Baume & Mercier presents three new Clifton Baumatic watches. Powered by the BM13 version of the Baumatic calibre, these timepieces combine performance, technical achievement and refined design. They express a combination of watchmaking expertise and contemporary style, which has characterised the Baume & Mercier approach for 189 years.
The dial of each Clifton Baumatic model is enhanced by an oversized date aperture at 3 o’clock and topped with a domed anti-glare sapphire crystal to ensure better readability. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the calibre’s refined finishes: circular-grained bridges and a sand-blasted, snailed baseplate. The open-worked, steel- or gold-toned tungsten oscillating weight is adorned with a decoration combining Côtes de Genève with snailing.
Within the movement, the lyre is shaped like the Phi character, the Baume & Mercier symbol representing the Maison’s quest for perfection. The interchangeable leather straps of the Clifton Baumatic collection enable each one to adapt to various whims.
The self-winding Baumatic movement ensures optimal reliability. In addition to 120 hours (5 days) of autonomy, Clifton Baumatic watches offer great chronometric precision (–4/+6 seconds per day for the COSC-certified models). They resist to the main magnetic fields of daily life. These models only require maintenance service once every seven years rather than three to five years recommended for a traditional watch.
Clifton Baumatic COSC Or Rouge (Red Gold), Reference: 10469
This year, the collection expands with a red gold case and a gradated blue dial. The Clifton Baumatic is the essential companion for aesthetes with assertive tastes in perpetual pursuit of performance and innovation.
Baume et Mercier Clifton Baumatic COSC M0A10469
The dial, adorned with riveted gold hour markers, has a “warm white” hue with a porcelain-effect finish in perfect harmony with the 18-carat red gold case. A discreet anthracite crosshair on the dial symbolises the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) certification.
Baume et Mercier Clifton Baumatic COSC M0A10469
The second hand, also anthracite, contrasts with the gold hour and minute hands. With its 39 mm satin finished red gold case, this is the ideal watch for men seeking performance and classical elegance.

The Clifton Baumatic collection presented at the 2018 Salon International de la Haute
Horlogerie (SIHH) now extends to include a new model, the Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar.
The Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar combines the Baume & Mercier spirit of innovation with its more than 188 years of watchmaking expertise. The Maison chose to combine the Baumatic BM13-1975AC-1 movement with a perpetual calendar module to bring its latest creation to life. The Baumatic self-winding movement offers optimal reliability. In addition to a five-day power reserve, the Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar resists to the main magnetic fields of daily life. This model only requires maintenance service once every seven years rather than three to five years recommended for a traditional watch.
The BAUME collection includes six contemporary models with different looks: Three 35mm quartz models and three 41mm models. This new BAUME & MERCIER collection remains loyal to the BAUME aesthetic, with a contemporary approach combining creativity, convenience and respect for the environment.
The self-winding pieces have a sapphire back with four screws, while the quartz versions have a closed back.
