Baume Mercier Riviera Worth The Price?
There are some things in life you just cannot put a price on and one of those things may very well be the new Baume Mercier Riviera collection. Although timepieces are intended to show you the time, class and style have become an essential piece to a fine luxury watch. While it is a hefty price to pay to see the time, the Riviera is all about class and style.
With the cheapest watch in the series for women running at $1,172 and for the men at $1,662, this is far from a collection that anyone can buy. And that is exactly what makes it so intriguing knowing that not everyone can have a Baume et Mercier Riviera watch. Some of the other fine timepiece manufacturers like Gucci and Raymond Weil offer reasonable prices for the lower models, but this can potentially take away from the rarity in the name.
It is up to you to decide if it is worth spending between $1,100 to $5,500 for a watch, but it can place you into a specific persona and class that very few can be in. There is nothing quite like walking into a room and taking peoples breathe away with a glistening $5,500 Riviera watch.
The top of the line watch within this collection belongs to the ladies at $5,350. This beautifully crafted timepiece has an 18k steel-gold bracelet that fits comfortably on your wrist. While the bracelet is impressive, it is the case and dial that steal the show with this watch. The case is 18k gold as well with diamonds that circle the entire case. As for the dial, there is a sparkling silver background with a white circle containing eight diamonds and four roman numerals showing the time.
For the men, the most expensive watch in the Baume et Mercier Riviera collection is priced at $4,200. Very similar to the women’s top model, the men’s timepiece is a steel-gold bracelet as well. What makes the men’s so much cheaper than the women’s is the lack of diamonds. It has a steel-gold case and a silver dial, but does not flash as much as the women’s with diamonds.
While the Riviera is a magnificent watch collection, it is hard to imagine spending over $4,000 for a watch when the purpose is to see the time. But you have to look at it as a rare valuable that not many have. Only then will you be able to determine if the Baume Mercier Riviera is worth the price.
