Baume & Mercier Rivera Collection: Five Generations of Watches Tell the Same Legend
The Riviera collection is a legendary, unique, and always ahead-of-its-time watch, which has been redesigned several times over the years to keep up with the times and truly set the trend.
When it was launched in 1973, Rivera immediately sparked heated discussions, attracting everyone’s attention with its dodecagonal shape and flat metal bracelet. Although the “Riviera” logo has not yet appeared on the dial, it is avant-garde enough. By 1975, the Rivera series had undergone a considerable change, using automatic and quartz movements; large, medium, and miniature models were available in stainless steel, gold/stainless steel, and pure gold versions.
Riviera–1st Generation -1975 In the 1980s, the second generation of Riviera series watches was launched. The two-color model showed that Riviera had gradually matured regarding technical functions and aesthetic design; its evocative name has been displayed at 6 o’clock since then.
In 1981, Rivera adopted the shape of a diving watch for the first time, showing the pioneering spirit of sports fashion, and achieved great success.
Riviera 2nd Generation -1981 In 1985, the Riviera series launched the third generation: its bezel was redesigned, more rounded, and softer. The case and bracelet have also been revised with polished and brushed finishes for a more rounded effect. The Riviera series has also taken a new step in precision, complexity, safety, and reliability. Many breakthrough innovations include a miniaturized screw-in crown, significantly improving water resistance.
In 1993, on the 20th anniversary of the collection, Rivera proudly presented a unique and rare timepiece. At that time, Baume & Mercier even created a never-before-seen Riviera full calendar and launched two-color and pure gold versions, demonstrating its unparalleled watchmaking skills. At that time, the brand also launched a two-color version with a smaller diameter, suitable for women.
Riviera 3rd Generation – Complication 1985 & Chrono 1993
In 2004, the Riviera series launched the fourth-generation watch with two faces, showing two interpretation methods: classic and more sporty. Baume \u0026 Mercier has retained the dodecagonal shape of the case for the “classic style” product line but interprets the dial design with different materials and dial configurations. Regarding the “sports style” product line, Rivera is equipped with four screws on its bezel to create a sporty and conspicuous shape for the first time. This glamorous, sporty style has stood the test of time and still survives.
Riviera 4th Generation–2004
The heavy return of the Rivera series will launch the fifth-generation watch in 2021, which continues the eternal sports and fashion personality of Rivera in a variety of ways without losing the charming characteristics of Rivera.
