The Riviera Makes an Impact within Baume et Mercier Watches
Baume and Mercier has produced several successful watch styles over the past 170 years, but there has been no watch quite like the Riviera. Launching in 1980, the Riviera has been one of the most successful and most popular watches within the company. Because of its versatility and the sporty appearance, the Riviera appeals to everyone.
The physical features of the Baume Mercier Riviera are like no other watch with its glorifying and distinctive gold and steel. Its unidirectional steel bezel surrounds the black dial that displays the three gray sub-dials. The steel bezel also surrounds the brilliantly crafted hands and hour markers.
All of the times are displayed in black roman numerals giving it a classy and elegant look. Although the gold steel is most notable among the Riviera watches, there are also all silver steel and rubber strap all steel black watches to choose from. For the men, there is the first Riviera model that came out, the chronograph model and the automatic. Women can choose from the original Riviera and the mini.
There are several features that distinct the Riviera from other watches on the market, but it is its durability and precision that catch many buyers attention. To display this precision and durability, Baume et Mercier tested the watch by mounting it on the wheel of a Le Mans M1 BMW before the start of a 24 hour race.
Throughout the race, the Riviera withstood the high speeds and the pressure of fast acceleration that was put on the watch. Not only that, but the watch also was capable of running smoothly with massive rainfall that drenched the course during the race. If that wasn’t enough, the watch was also able to withstand the force of the spinning wheels and the intense heat from the disk brakes.
After the vigorous test the Baume Riviera was put through, the watch ran with the same type of accuracy it had prior to the race. It is this type of precision and durability that has made the Riviera one of the most reliable watches you can find.
The accommodation of precision, durability and a classy and stylish physique has made the Riviera one of the most popular watches sold by Baume Mercier. This sports style watch has a little bit to offer men and women for all occasions. Whether you want a stylish watch for work or a reliable watch for around town, the Riviera offers just that. With over 25 years of success, the Riviera is sure to continue selling strong and satisfying customers worldwide.
