Baume & Mercier strikes a balance between modern refinement and vintage charm with its latest Riviera model
Baume & Mercier Riviera M0A10828
Since its debut, the Baume & Mercier Riviera has been recognized for its distinctive dodecagonal bezel and confident personality. With the new Riviera M0A10828 Flyback Chronograph, the brand builds on this legacy of bold design, presenting a watch that thrives on contrast—drawing from vintage inspiration while embracing modern execution.
The dial is where the watch truly stands out. Its vertically brushed gold surface radiates warmth and sophistication while concentric detailing on the subdials improves legibility. Roman numerals and riveted rhodium-plated indexes coated with beige Super-LumiNova that glows blue further heighten its vintage character.
The faceted hour and minute hands follow the same treatment, contrasting beautifully with the blued steel chronograph seconds and counter hands—a subtle nod to traditional chronograph design codes. Completing this limited edition of 73 pieces, a number that directly references the Riviera’s launch year, is an integrated three-row stainless steel bracelet. Easily interchangeable at the push of a button, it enhances versatility. Robust yet refined, it underscores the Riviera’s ability to adapt seamlessly across occasions.
