WATCHES & WONDERS 2022 & Mercier’s lifestyle icon, symbolising casual elegance. Now in its fifth generation, the Riviera continues to deliver the Maison’s distinctive expertise. This year, the Riviera comes in a number of versions: the 42 mm men’s version in Baumatic and self-winding, 33 mm selfwinding models and the 36 mm women’s versions in self-winding and quartz. The Riviera Baumatic Ref. M0A10702 retains the original design of the 1973 model, but is updated for the time, with a 42 mm steel case, a dodecagonal bezel with 12 sides and four screws, a Baumatic movement, and an interchangeable steel strap. This year, it comes with a smoky grey sapphire dial and an integrated steel strap. Powered with a Baumatic calibre, it is ready for any adventure with a five-day power reserve and a magnetic resistance of 1500 Gauss. Sporty yet chic, the Riviera Automatic Ref. M0A10660 explicitly demonstrates the expertise of the Maison in athletic-shaped watches. Featuring subtle grey hues, it is housed in a 42 mm steel case and has a beautifully lacquered slate dial on an interchangeable steel or grey rubber strap. A keepsake on the wrist, the “Coastline” Riviera 33 mm Ref. M0A10677 will set you apart. Designed for women, the 33 mm steel case features a strikingly beautiful gradated midnight blue lacquer dial set with 63 diamonds.
