The <strong>2021 edition of Watches and Wonders<\/strong> hit the spot in April and once again confirmed some trends; the green and blue dial are mainstream across most watch brands\u2019 offerings and the blue dial, especially, is a standard option when you\u2019re looking for a steel timepiece.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"our-video-review\">Our Video review<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We picked three new watches, all belonging to the <strong>Richemont Group<\/strong>, despite them holding different price points and features; they share a blue dial instead, each sporting its style and colour palettes. There you have it: the <strong>Baume &amp; Mercier Riviera<\/strong>, the <strong>IWC Big Pilots Watch 43<\/strong> and the <strong>Piaget Polo Automatic Chronograph with a Panda Blue dial<\/strong>, made in a <strong>limited edition of 888 pieces<\/strong>. Let\u2019s find out what each timepiece stands for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before going straight forward to describing each of them, let me first add a short comment about the <strong>Riviera<\/strong>, the <strong>Big Pilots Watch 43<\/strong> and the <strong>Piaget Polo Panda chronograph<\/strong>. The first is <strong>Baume &amp; Mercier\u2019<\/strong>s luxury sports watch\u2019s comeback; our sources confirmed the arrival of a new <strong>Riviera<\/strong> two years ago; the second one is kind of a breakthrough; we couldn\u2019t ever imagine <strong>IWC<\/strong> to introduce a smaller <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong>. Last but not least, we are talking about a colour option that adds a new rubber strap, thus refreshing a long-established collection, the <strong>Piaget Polo Chronograph<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-baume-mercier-riviera\">The Baume &amp; Mercier Riviera<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Classic, sporty, mechanical, and quartz, it comes in various case sizes. Since <strong>1973<\/strong>, when it originally appeared, the <strong>Riviera<\/strong> by <strong>Baume &amp; Mercier<\/strong> has held its place among the most accessible luxury sports watches, featuring a signature twelve-sided bezel and multi-faceted matching case design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Who is reminiscent of the latest generation, boasting an extra-large case on a rubber strap, hitting the spot in the late nineties? The <strong>Riviera<\/strong>\u2018s road to success was more challenging than anywhere else. Thanks to a clever price point and an attractive design, the <strong>Riviera<\/strong> quickly found its space amidst the most wanted luxury sports watches back then.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/baume-mercier-riviera-2021-2.88933392d4b2.jpg\" alt=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021-2\">The <strong>2021<\/strong> edition confirms the dodecagonal bezel with Allen screws either on the bezel and the case-back and comes in multiple options; you can buy it on an integrated rubber strap and folding clasp or with an integrated steel bracelet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s focus on the options for him, especially those adopting a blue dial; it, therefore, showcases a see-through case-back and an integrated bracelet with a three-link design, with the outer ones that taper towards the mid one. You can buy the new Riviera with a rubber strap paired with a triple folding clasp as an option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"baume-mercier-riviera-baumatic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/baume-mercier-riviera-baumatic.a84bee1709a4.jpg\" alt=\"baume-mercier-riviera-baumatic\">The designers took and cleaned this template by removing all the unwanted design cues from the past while working hard to make the new one as sleek and uncluttered as possible. Today\u2019s sports watch is synonymous with elegance and a \u201cno-frills\u201d design, and the <strong>2021<\/strong> <strong>Riviera<\/strong> is no exception.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When comparing new and old ones, we can see that the bezel is thinner than ever before, and the timepiece comes in two options: one adopts a Sellita calibre, which is externally sourced and is the base offering, showcasing a blue dial with a \u201cChevron-like\u201d pattern; the second one adopts a more refined Baumatic automatic movement offering five days of power reserve, and a smoked blue dial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/baume-mercier-riviera-2021-1.2ebbdcd55fbb.jpg\" alt=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021-1\">Among the key design cues, I\u2019ll list the Roman numerals too; they create a family feeling with a key brand\u2019s collection, the <strong>Classima<\/strong>. Offering a large <strong>42 mm<\/strong> case, measuring just <strong>10.66 mm<\/strong> in thickness, both models are not for everyone on paper, yet they fit nicely on any medium to large wrist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the brand has introduced a smaller quartz option (for her), I suggest\u00a0<strong>Baume &amp; Mercier<\/strong>\u00a0introduce <strong>40 or 39 mm sized models<\/strong> anytime soon. Finally, each model ensures a <strong>100-meter water resistance<\/strong> making the new <strong>Riviera<\/strong> an all-rounder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021-sellita\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/baume-mercier-riviera-2021-sellita.f0e20f4b0186.jpg\" alt=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021-sellita\">Here are my thoughts on the <strong>2021 Riviera<\/strong>: I like the new one, and I also think the <strong>42 mm<\/strong> size works since it is, in contrast, quite a slim watch; kudos to the brand for offering a water resistance of up to 100 meters, which is an essential requirement on any modern luxury sports watch. I would instead focus on which option to choose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Sellita-powered <strong>Riviera<\/strong>\u2018s dial looks cleaner than the <strong>Baumatic<\/strong>\u2018s; in contrast, the blue smoked sapphire disc on the <strong>Baumatic<\/strong>\u2018s dial makes the whole package less legible. When it comes to price points, I believe that a 1000-euro price gap is just too much. I wonder how many people can understand the technical differences between base and top models.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/baume-mercier-riviera-2021.4677e52b378c.jpg\" alt=\"baume-mercier-riviera-2021\"><\/strong>It is undeniable that the <strong>Baumatic<\/strong> outperforms its <strong>Sellita<\/strong> sibling; nonetheless, I would reduce the price gap, thus offering the most demanding buyer with the leading technology at a fairer price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would not say I like the rubber strap\u2019s design; while I love the quick-change mechanism, I hardly approve that the wearer is forced to cut parts of the strap itself to adjust it. Additionally, a fair comparison must include the following: by purchasing a <strong>Riviera Baumatic<\/strong>, you can access an additional year of warranty by registering on <strong>Baume &amp; Mercier<\/strong>\u2018s official website.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-iwc-big-pilot%e2%80%99s-watch-43\">The IWC Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>2021 Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43<\/strong> was as unexpected as it gets and sets a landmark both for <strong>IWC<\/strong> and the class of products it belongs to. With this new collection, <strong>IWC<\/strong> joins the full-steel luxury sports watch segment with a value proposition that aims to bring the <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong> to its \u201cfull potential\u201d, as the brand\u2019s executives claim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>43mm<\/strong> offering extends the <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong> formula to an audience who loves the <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong> and its DNA but couldn\u2019t buy the current one either for its size and price tag.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-1.1119ace28a78.jpg\" alt=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-1\">We got our hands on the entire <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong> collection ahead of <strong>Watches and Wonders<\/strong>, historical models included. It helped us compare new and old ones in one go. At first glance, judging by the comments of those who have not seen the new <strong>43mm<\/strong> in the metal, you might easily regard it as a <em>\u201cBig Pilot\u2019s Watch wannabe\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We compared the new ones with the first <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong>\u2018s modern reissue, the <strong>reference 5002<\/strong>, and the original <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong> during the presentation. The new model aligns with the collection\u2019s vision; the latest collection sports a clean dial without\u00a0date window and power reserve indication, thus paying homage to the original Observation Watch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-9.ec8c99f11c30.jpeg\" alt=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-9\">The brand\u2019s designers had a challenging task; they had to design a <strong>43mm Big Pilot\u2019s Watch<\/strong> while preserving the <strong>46 mm<\/strong> model\u2019s signature design and stance. First and foremost, they worked hard on preserving the overall proportions: at <strong>46 mm<\/strong> across and with an <strong>8-day power reserve<\/strong>, the top-end model has a diameter-to-thickness ratio of three.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43<\/strong> meets this ratio by measuring <strong>3.16<\/strong>. The onion-shaped winding crown is virtually the same, yet it has undergone a redesign process to prevent it from pinching the wrist, given the reduced case thickness. With my wrist measuring more than 20 cm, I haven\u2019t noticed any significant difference in appearance once wrapped around my wrist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-2.8ee03c9c4adc.jpg\" alt=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-2\">Exclusive to the new collection is a quick-release steel bracelet you can swap with a leather or a rubber strap. The steel bracelet offers superior comfort. <strong>IWC<\/strong> engineers worked hard to finally design a bracelet whose execution is as flawless as its comfort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among its main features, I\u2019ll list the links that can be removed and a clever fine adjustment mechanism on the clasp. At the push of a button, you can <strong>extend it up to 5 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-3.4883bc1372bf.jpg\" alt=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-3\">As mentioned, the watch has a presence on the wrist, and I\u2019ll choose, without a doubt, the full steel <strong>Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43<\/strong>\u00a0over the leather option, which I find not as comfortable in comparison. You can choose a rubber strap with rivets as a third option, perfect during the summer season, given the watch\u2019s <strong>100-meter water resistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a technical standpoint, each model adopts the <strong>in-house 82100 calibre<\/strong>, offering <strong>60 hours of power reserve<\/strong>; on paper, it\u2019s standard performance in the benchmark, yet the <strong>Pellaton<\/strong> <strong>winding<\/strong> <strong>system<\/strong> and the adoption of <strong>ceramic parts to reduce wear<\/strong> in the long-term ensure that long-term reliability was an essential project requirement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-8\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-8.8c6d598629d3.jpeg\" alt=\"iwc-big-pilots-watch-43-8\">I also love the signature <strong>IWC<\/strong> winding mass (the movement is visible through the case back) carrying the <strong>Probus Scafusia<\/strong> medallion you usually find on premium <strong>IWC<\/strong> timepieces, like the <strong>Perpetual Calendar<\/strong>, for example. Price tags range from \u20ac <strong>9050<\/strong> to <strong>10100<\/strong> for the full-steel options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As far as the last one concerns, I would have gone for an <strong>under-10,000-euro price threshold<\/strong>, at least during the rest of <strong>2021<\/strong>; again, my first choice goes, no doubt, to the <strong>steel BP 43<\/strong>, paired with the dark blue dial, which is lovely indeed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I had to choose a replacement strap option, I\u2019d take the rubber over the leather one. I think the leather strap is too stiff, especially during the first two or three months of use and a loser compared to the other two offerings.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda\">The Piaget Polo Chronograph Blue Panda<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last but not least is the <strong>Piaget Polo chronograph Blue Panda<\/strong>. It is a <strong>limited edition of 888 pieces<\/strong> that bring the long-established <strong>Piaget Polo chronograph<\/strong> under the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new model introduces two new features: the first is a pale blue colour option; the second is a new strap with a <em>\u201ccannel\u00e8\u201d<\/em> pattern and the <strong>Piaget<\/strong> logo. Once combined, they give the timepiece a distinctive new look compared to standard <strong>Polo Chronographs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-3.7096c56261e7.jpg\" alt=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-3\">The reveal of this limited edition model is a means to extensively talk about the <strong>Piaget Polo<\/strong> and highlight the central theme: a cushion-shaped dial inside a round case, a trait we all quite often disregard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compared to the previous two ones, here is the only chronograph under review and a model I don\u2019t usually like as much as I like the three-hands <strong>Polo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite that, I believe the watch pictured here is an excellent and fresher addition to the offering of <strong>Polo Chronos<\/strong>. The new colour and features combination adds a unique identity to a timepiece which is standard across the brand\u2019s catalogue for years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, it is not as sleek as the classic <strong>Polo<\/strong> and the new <strong>Polo Skeleton<\/strong>, a timepiece I got my hands on, whose unique design well establishes what the future <strong>Polo<\/strong>\u2018s design language should look like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda.fdda74e1ce44.jpg\" alt=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda\">Let\u2019s dig into the product\u2019s features now. The timepiece comes with a dark blue strap and blue registers: the first one has a <em>\u201ccannel\u00e9\u201d<\/em> pattern which mimics the horizontal pattern on the dial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The strap comes standard with a quick-change mechanism so that you can swap it by pulling two fasteners placed in the area where the case and strap pair; you can remove the folding clasp\u2019s pin buckle too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The strap\u2019s rubber is very soft, the build quality is high, and the buckle, with the embossed <strong>Piaget<\/strong> logo, offers a stunning brushed-in-the-middle and polished-at-the-edges finish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-4.fe6113215038.jpg\" alt=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-4\">You\u2019ll find the same brushed and polished finish across the case, thus showing off <strong>Piaget<\/strong>\u2018s premium quality. If you scroll down the specs sheet, you\u2019ll read that the watch adopts the <strong>1160 P calibre<\/strong>,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>a <strong>customized 1160<\/strong> whose <strong>winding mass is blue PVD treated<\/strong> and has <strong>C\u00f4tes de G\u00e8neve<\/strong> decorations on the bridges, while the column-wheel mechanism ensures smooth operation and seamless start, stop and reset functions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Again, let\u2019s start from the price point down to the product\u2019s overview.\u00a0 Do you think that <strong>16000 Euros<\/strong> is too much or not for such a watch?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-1.1017400f93b0.jpg\" alt=\"piaget-polo-chronograph-blue-panda-1\">In my opinion, that\u2019s a fair price for a <strong>Piaget<\/strong> watch and a limited edition model too. The calibre is refined, too; let\u2019s consider you\u2019ll pay twice as much for timepieces benchmarking this <strong>Piaget<\/strong> in most cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s discuss what I\u2019ll change instead: while I approve the new model, I\u2019ll conversely upgrade the <strong>Polo Chronograph<\/strong> instead, from an esthetic standpoint. I\u2019ll take this chance as a first step in the <strong>Polo Chronograph<\/strong>\u2018s redesign process, aiming for a timepiece that draws inspiration from the <strong>Polo Skeleton<\/strong> as much as possible, like, for example, a slimmer bezel and a larger dial. I also think, and always thought, that the two registers are too close to the centre line.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do you think about them? Would you opt for the watches reviewed here, and do you share my thoughts? Would you believe that one wins over the other? Please, share your thoughts in the comments below.
