  • THE ORIGINALS SERIES
Baume & Mercier launched a stylistic bombshell in 1973. The unique design of the Riviera, conceived by Jean-Claude Gueit, is based on the idea of transforming a circle into an atypical shape by connecting the twelve numerals of the dial with straight line segments, defining the contour of the case.
