Baume & Mercier threw its hat into the ring of watch manufacturers offering an integrated-bracelet steel sports watch with its revival of a 1970s stalwart, the Riviera, at the recently wrapped Watches & Wonders virtual fair. The new series, encompassing 10 references, seven distinct colorways and two different sizes, is inspired by the 1973 original and represents the fifth generation of designs since its debut. With it, Baume & Mercier hopes to simultaneously reference the era from which it sprang and also contextualize the design for the contemporary age.
