Baume & Mercier has released the new RIVIERA self-winding “Coastline” model in a 33-mm diameter steel case.
The watch comes with a gradated midnight blue lacquer dial set with 63 diamonds. The diamonds portray the seaboard of the French Riviera, beckoning to an adventure from Monaco to Saint Tropez. The asymmetry introduced by this gem-setting, which could be described as topographic – an effect made possible through the combination of precious stones in seven different sizes –, is a first for the Riviera collection.
Like a sparkling summer wave, the exclusive gem-setting extends to a portion of the bezel, case and integrated steel strap.

The Baume & Mercier Riviera watch is back again this year in subtly grayish hues, with a 42 mm steel case and a slate dial on an interchangeable steel or gray rubber strap.
The sand-blasted titanium bezel, fastened to the case with four functional screws, brings this contemporary piece a stealthy, driven look. A distinctive look reinforced by a gold-plated PVD ring, which provides luminosity in a perfect juxtaposition of the matte hue of the bezel and strap.
The dial in a beautifully lacquered “slate” hue is highlighted by tone-on-tone “wave” decorations, as well as Roman numerals and indexes in gold-plated steel.
This automatic watch houses the Swiss Made SW200 Calibre, which can be admired through the sapphire crystal case-back.
Thanks to the reliable, robust Fast Strap interchangeability system it is easy to change the timepiece’s look with no need for tools.

Baume & Mercier presents two new 36mm versions of its Riviera watch. The first is a feminine version of the Baume & Mercier Riviera Automatic Ref M0A10660 in steel with a titanium bezel. It displays hour, minutes, seconds and date.
The RIVIERA 36mm Automatic M0A10661 watch echoes the new men’s model presented this year, with a steel case, a titanium bezel, a ring in gold-plated PVD, a “Swiss-made” self-winding movement, and an integrated steel strap. It also has a sapphire crystal case-back for admiring the inner-workings of the watch. The Swiss made SW200 automatic movement provides a power reserve of 38 hours.
Also in a 36 mm diameter, Baume & Mercier presents another ultra-feminine Riviera in 2022, featuring a quartz movement.
This ladies’ watch (M0A10662) comes with a white mother-of-pearl dial, an integrated steel strap, and a bezel set with 44 diamonds in a snow-setting style, fastened with four screws in polished steel.

This new Baume & Mercier RIVIERA BAUMATIC watch features a 42 mm diameter steel case, a dodecagonal bezel with twelve sides and four screws, a Baumatic movement, and an interchangeable steel strap.
The new men’s version of the Riviera still carries in its genes the silhouette and evocative power of the original 1973 model. The 2022 version of the Baume & Mercier Riviera Baumatic is available in a version with a smoky gray sapphire dial and an integrated steel strap.
The decoration introduced in 2021 has become the distinctive mark of these models, each of which is equipped with a Baumatic manufacture movement.
Its transparency offers a view of the gear trains of the Baumatic BM13 1975A automatic caliber and its tried-and-true performance: 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.
Its scratch-proof sapphire crystal has anti-glare coating on both sides, while its octagonal crown asserts a Phi logo engraving in relief.
About Riviera Baume & Mercier Watch Collection
Inspired by the carefree lifestyle of the French Riviera, this is the watch of casual elegance, symbolizing an easygoing view of refined watchmaking. It was first developed in 1973 and has adapted to every era, year after year, while staying true to its special style. Its steel adornments and strong shape have always represented a form of freedom, an offbeat elegance. And now it represents renewal.
In 2021, Baume & Mercier presented the fifth-generation Riviera, which continues to uphold the Maison’s expertise, capturing the signs of our modern times to better revisit them.

This medium-sized HAMPTON watch is equipped with a long-lasting quartz movement. Its rectangular shape is accentuated by a set of gray rectangles that stretch outwards as if seeking to surpass all limits.
The geometric effect and Art Deco depth draw the eye along the gray minute track which runs around the perimeter of the opaline silver dial. Riveted rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and indexes appear on it, and are indicated by delicate “glaive” hands.
Its screwed back allows space for the engraving of a happy memory, date or accomplishment. This new HAMPTON MEDIUM watch in steel features a brown calfskin strap with trendy beige overstitching which coordinates perfectly with the polished steel case.

Baume & Mercier has released four new self-winding watches from its CLASSIMA collection. Among them, three models are for men and the remaining one is dedicated to women.
CLASSIMA – M0A10695 & M0A10696
Baume & Mercier revisits the street style codes in a play of materials and timeless shades. Khaki is in the spotlight, with a versatile palette ranging from sand beige to olive green, offering a natural effect that adapts to every style.
With two large-sized models for a casual yet refined look, Classima explores this trend with elegance and understatement: khaki and sand hues, and a mixture of canvas, slate and steel.
Each watch features a 42 mm polished steel case with a screwed back and a self-winding movement with a 38-hour power reserve.
The CLASSIMA M0A10695 model comes with a slate sun satin dial and sand-colored flange which coordinates with the hue of the solid canvas strap.
Rhodium-plated leaf hands delicately sweep along the enchanting undertones of the slate, pointing to the white Roman numerals and indexes which adorn the round dial. A date aperture appears at 3 o’clock. For an aesthetic touch, the seconds hand is beige, the dominating color of this model.
The CLASSIMA M0A10696 model reveals a warm silver sun satin dial, with a green flange that emphasizes the perfect roundness of this adventurous Classima. Black Roman numerals and indexes are indicated by black leaf hour and minute hands.
The seconds hand is green, like a camouflage for this setting. The interchangeable green canvas strap provides casual character, but the timepiece remains a smart, understated, contemporary watch.
CLASSIMA – M0A10694 & M0A10691
Made for the perfect classic chic look, these Baume & Mercier CLASSIMA watches feature eye-catching burgundy color dial.
CLASSIMA M0A10694: This gent’s Classima watch comes with a polished 42 mm steel case. It features a large burgundy sun satin dial with a blue flange which brings the minute track a more pronounced depth. In turn, it emphasizes the perfectly balanced circle.
The three rhodium-plated leaf hands delicately point to the white Roman numerals and indexes. An elegant date aperture is unveiled at 3 o’clock.
The self-winding movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve, is nestled within the case. Its solid back offers room for the creativity of a personalized engraving. A straight spring-bar system makes it possible to change the strap easily.
CLASSIMA M0A10691: This adorable 34 mm ladies watch has a polished steel case, mounted on a five-row metal strap that elegantly nestles against the wrist. The quick, simple interchangeability system makes it easy to switch to the blue canvas version, offering a versatile look.
The small, perfectly round case is incredibly slender, and it reveals a sun satin dial with hypnotic burgundy and blue undertones. The eye is then drawn along the iridescent minute track that curves along the edge. It features the rhodium-plated Roman numerals and indexes characteristic of this collection. Leaf hands sweep lightly along them. A date aperture appears at 3 o’clock.
The sapphire crystal on the back offers a view of the beating watch movement. The self-winding caliber offers 42 hours of autonomy.

Swiss watch brand BAUME & MERCIER presents BAUME OCEAN II, a new timpiece crafted from upcycled materials in collaboration with the Belgian NGO Waste Free Oceans (WFO) and the Spanish organization SEAQUAL INITIATIVE.
These two leaders in ocean protection, with which the House has been working since 2018, collect plastic pollution from the oceans and to transform it into innovative products. The Swiss watch maker released this new BAUME OCEAN II watch on the World Ocean Day (06 June) this year.
The case of the new BAUME OCEAN II model is made with marine debris plastic that is recovered throughout the world by WFO and then processed. Special attention was brought to the selection of the material to ensure that it is of a high quality in terms of performance and durability. The watch case features a recycled plastic cover produced by WFO, composed of 80% plastic waste gathered by the NGO that has been mingled with 20% fiberglass in order to reinforce its resistance.
By combining a movement protected by an aluminum container with the case that clips onto it, the innovative structure of the BAUME OCEAN II brings life to a creation that perfectly mingles design with Swiss watchmaking quality.
The great purity of the sun satin-finished oceanic blue dial is heightened by the ideal proportions of the shapes and finishes so distinctive of BAUME & MERCIER. The model maintains emblematic BAUME features like the off-center knurled crown at 12 o’clock reminiscent of pocket watches, as well as articulated lugs in black anodized aluminum.
The reworked case is open-worked on the side instead of being solid, revealing the blue anodized aluminum container that protects the movement. The blue vibe and open-working emphasize the athletic line of this exquisitely designed timepiece, while white transfers contrast with the blue background to lend the piece a depth evoking the ocean.
BAUME & MERCIER has gone one step further into its original approach to displaying time by replacing the large minute hand with a small hand in the shape of a bird’s beak to create the illusion of a single central hand.
The BAUME OCEAN II watch is equipped with a Swiss Made self-winding mechanical movement with a 38-hour power reserve. It is water-resistant to 30 meters.
The new BAUME OCEAN II features a woven strap in upcycled PET (made of 100% recycled plastic) with lighter blue overstitching. The edge is remborded and lined with black cork for improved comfort in wear. The interchangeable strap may be detached and changed thanks to a system of recycled walnut buttons.
The new BAUME OCEAN II model comes in a hexagonal recyclable cardboard box with a felt lining in recycled polyester.
BAUME & MERCIER will donate 5% from the proceeds of the BAUME OCEAN II watch to its two partners, Waste Free Oceans and SEAQUAL INITIATIVE.

Swiss luxury watch brand Baume & Mercier presents the Hampton “Hommage à Pierre Soulages”, a limited edition timepiece as a tribute to famous French abstract artist Pierre Soulages.
In January 1979, Pierre Soulages inaugurated a series of works at his Parisian workshop which he called Noir-Lumière. In 1989, the series became known as Outrenoir. The surface of each painting is coated with black paint in various states, textured into low relief with tools and brushes.
Each Outrenoir painting plays on with the light that reveals its appearance to the viewer, particularly as the person moves. When the light is more intensely reflected, the black appears less black, and its surface effects become more noticeable, more active. Soulages’ black successively appears glossy or matte.
Musée Soulages in Rodez possesses a collection of the master’s works like none other. The painter was born in that city in 1919. With support from MuséeSoulages and the Association des Amis du Musée, the watchmaker Baume et Mercier approached Pierre Soulages with the project for a unique watch paying tribute to his work.
Liberally taking inspiration from an Outrenoir painting by Pierre Soulages to turn it into a watch creation is an idea based on admiration and recognition, but bringing it to life poses a technical challenge. One work in particular guided the experiment, the exceedingly elevated Peinture 390 x 130 cm 17 mars 2019.
This work – which the Soulages couple donated to MuséeSoulages in 2020 – celebrates the painter’s 100th birthday, a testimony to his vitality and inspiration. The work guides the light through a play of overlapped panels of slanted streaks which sweep from one side of the composition to the other. The action painting technique that Soulages developed cuts into the black acrylic material to produce a variety of matte-and-shine effects. The light released by the painting is essential, in that it may also bear the full spectrum of colors.
The challenge of the watch designer was to reflect the spirit and content of this work. To this effect, the Baume & Mercier team took care to bring out contrasts in the way light reflects off the watch components. Each detail of the dial and case is eloquent, revealing the beauty of the timepiece. The finishes take on their full meaning, as pertinent on the watch as they are on a painting.
Baume & Mercier chose the Hampton model for its transposition of an Outrenoir work into a timepiece. The iconic Hampton asserts a rectangular dial and case evoking the proportions of a canvas. Since its launch in 1994, the Hampton has represented the ultimate non-round watch. It is distinctive for its design, inherited from one of the House’s models dating from the 1960s that was in turn inspired by the Art Deco of the 1920s.
The aesthetic approach to clean, curved lines and perfect proportion demonstrates the artistic sense that is so important to the House. Indeed, it is no coincidence that the model has taken the Greek letter Phi – a reference to the golden ratio – as its emblem. The formal minimalism and understatement of the Hampton “Hommage à Pierre Soulages” helps to showcase this tribute to Pierre Soulages’ artwork, while the restraint of the refined timepiece echoes the purity that characterizes his paintings.
Even the exclusive case in which the watch is presented pays tribute to the contemporary architecture of MuséeSoulages, designed by the Catalan RCR Arquitectes who won the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2017. The cladding of the building is made up of Corten steel, which has an appearance of iridescent rust. Here, again, is the question of time and the patina that it creates.
The timepiece will be accompanied by a leaflet telling details of the collaboration and a VIP pass for two for the MuséeSoulages in Rodez. A book on the work of Pierre Soulages will also be sent to each owner of a Hampton “Hommage à Pierre Soulages”.
In the exciting, innovative interaction between art and watchmaking, technical achievement is the keystone of the Hampton “Hommage à Pierre Soulages.” A watch dial miniaturization is a fascinating interpretation of a large-scale painting.
Baume & Mercier makes use of new 3D printing technologies for this achievement. The preparatory work was an adventure of great consideration, trial-and-error, and finally success. Through a meticulous topography, advanced research and 3D wax printing, the ideal procedure was finally found: one that would liberate the volumes, reveal the details and bring out the beauty of this work in a continual interaction between shade and light.
For the dial, brass machined with a laser was found to suitably meet this challenge. Candia stone is used to create a diffuse matte effect, and an electroplating process is then applied to coat it with color through electrolysis to a thickness of 0.2 microns. One last coat of sheer, semi-matte protective lacquer to a thickness of 10 microns, and the piece is finished: black yet wreathed in light, filled with masterful contrasts.
The faceted brass “glaive” hands are diamond-ground, sand-blasted, and then coated with black PVD. A touch of gold is added to the end of each one on request by Pierre Soulages in order to elegantly emphasize the passage of time. The case, sculpted in a stainless steel block, is sand-blasted and then coated with hydrogenated amorphous carbon ions through plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) to a thickness of 2 microns, providing a hardness of 6,000 Vickers.
Each material and finish is more ingenious than the last, capturing and sculpting the light, borrowing from the artist’s strokes to bring movement to the shapes and rhythm to the material. The self-winding mechanical Swiss caliber (ETA 2892) features a black oscillating weight adorned with a “Côtes de Genève” that can be seen through the transparent watch back.
The back bears a “Hommage à MrSoulages” engraving. “Baume & Mercier” appears as a metallic engraving on the underside of the domed sapphire crystal. Both sides of the crystal feature an anti-glare treatment to ensure that the image of the painting remains perfectly intact.
To intensify the chromatic depth of the watch, it comes complete with a built-in interchangeable strap in black leather with square scales and a nubuck finish that fastens with a pin buckle in DLC steel.
This unique timepiece offers a harmonious play on contrasting blacks through subtle nuances of mattes, semi-mattes, shine and diffuse layers, in keeping with the spirit of Pierre Soulages’ work. The strength of black is majestically represented in this tribute to the paintings of one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The “Hampton Hommage à Pierre Soulages” is limited to 102 (reflecting the age of the artist) individually numbered watches.

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.

The 31 mm Classima in polished stainless steel is equipped with a solid case back to protect the quartz movement, which is more durable than most. A cabochon-shaped crown elegantly adorns the perfectly balanced proportions of the case.
Its pastel green dial with a subtle sun satin effect features a date aperture at 3 o’clock. The rhodium-plated Roman numerals are enhanced by the graceful sweep of the rhodium-plated leaf hands.
The 31mm Classima watch is presented with an integrated, interchangeable five-row steel strap featuring a triple folding clasp.
The 42 mm version is equipped with a quartz movement. The piece has character. Its 6.1 mm thick case in stainless steel is equipped with a solid case back for daily comfort and convenience.
The sapphire crystal reveals a luminous deep green dial with a sun satin finish. The rhodium-plated Roman numerals and indexes provide brightness and simplicity, emphasized by rhodium-plated leaf hands. An aperture displays the date at 3 o’clock.
As a final trendy touch, the piece is mounted on a brownish gray nubuck calfskin strap with tone-on-tone overstitching. However, the strap may easily be changed on a whim thanks to the straight spring-bar interchangeable system.

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.
