The current strategy has the <strong>Riviera<\/strong> as its centrepiece, but all the collections will be granted the headline news, along with sustainability and upcycle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: Dear Mr Chaumet, here is my first question. Let\u2019s start with the Riviera. First, which is the collection\u2019s target customer? And, the second question, are there any people coming from the competitors and joining Baume &amp; Mercier thanks to the new Riviera?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A: Thank you for asking this question. First of all, I\u2019d like to point out that <strong>Riviera<\/strong> has been, over the last year, the brand\u2019s image\u2019s game-changer towards a more contemporary design while adding content, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/baume-et-mercier-clifton-baumatic-watches-hands-on-sihh-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Baumatic<\/strong><\/a>; expect additional releases in the second half of the year. The audience much appreciated the <strong>Riviera<\/strong> when it was introduced in <strong>1973<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" 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 due\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, people who didn\u2019t know anything about the collection were attracted and made this fifth edition theirs, primarily when powered by <strong>Baumatic<\/strong>; it is our signature movement and keeps highlighting our most extraordinary expertise, which pairs bold design, passion for details and top-notch quality, along with solid watchmaking content.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" 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\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Did we catch any clients from other Maisons? I hope so, but you know, you don\u2019t own your clients; they own you. No doubt, we added new clients with <strong>Riviera<\/strong>, and I think we will extend our customer base this year, especially with the new <strong>33 mils<\/strong> that might fit even better for ladies and <strong>36 mm<\/strong> models, too, since it might equally attract him and her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39463 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds.jpg\" alt=\"baume e mercier riviera diamonds\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-diamonds-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have also increased our manufacturing capability to meet <strong>Riviera<\/strong>\u2018s demand and be more present in key markets, with the <strong>Riviera Baumatic<\/strong> <strong>blue<\/strong> raising a considerable success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: The new steel titanium, the golden titanium version, is a winner. It reminds me of the late eighties and lovely timepieces like some Omega with integrated bracelets and gold tones. There were many two-tone titanium watches back then, and titanium became a trend.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A: Yes, they were, and they were terrific, too. We started to launch <strong>Riviera<\/strong> with a few product references, and raised much success, thus extending the offering with new models.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And, as you just said, we were asked for a two-tone timepiece, which makes sense but has to be a modern re-interpretation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39461 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium.jpg\" alt=\"baume e mercier riviera steel titanium\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/baume-et-mercier-riviera-steel-titanium-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I wanted to have something stylish in terms of design, playing on the light variation on the case to ensure a shining matte effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was looking for a lighter piece with a slightly darker bezel; hence titanium and gold came as a natural combination. And the <strong>Riviera<\/strong> is a perfect fit, too; it does help us play with tones, while the gold combo paired with our signature dial\u2019s pattern is impressive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: From what I understood, the Baumatic is the favourite choice, isn\u2019t it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A: Yes, it is. We have an audience seeking the very best; if you want a well-done timepiece with solid watchmaking content, <strong>Baumatic<\/strong> is your choice, but we understand that some customers just ask for a robust design at a more affordable price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: Are you planning to turn Riviera into a diving watch? It has such a strong Sports pedigree.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A: You know, <strong>Riviera<\/strong> is turning 49 this year; it means <strong>50 next year<\/strong>. There\u2019s a lot to come next year. To answer your question, the sea universe is well connected to <strong>Riviera<\/strong>. We\u2019ll see what the future holds (he smiles).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: Great to hear; can we tease the audience with some newcomers?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A: <strong>Riviera<\/strong> will be, again, the focus for the current year. And, as said, next year too. Then, new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/baume-et-mercier-clifton-baumatic-watches-hands-on-sihh-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Classima<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/baume-mercier-clifton-baumatic-grey-dial-10550-10551\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Clifton<\/strong><\/a> models will enrich our portfolio.

In brief, I believe that round, rectangular and dodecagonal cases provide a consistent offering moving forward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: When it comes to Baumatic, it was a breakthrough within the group: performance, precision, and efficiency. When I look at other brands of Richemont, I can also see sustainability and upcycle trending topics. I might name Panerai, for instance; do you see Baume &amp; Mercier joining the green trend as well?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A: During the early days of green-manufactured watches, <strong>Baume Watches<\/strong> were pioneers. We are developing a project around this and still supporting sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With each sale, we support multiple organizations, especially those preserving the oceans. We give a percentage of each sale every time we sell a watch to support them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Where are we today? We have a collaboration that we\u2019ll soon reveal regarding this topic. We think it\u2019s important but cannot be solely about sustainability; you need to add an attractive design and watchmaking content to the recipe to make it work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Q: Thank you so much; it\u2019s always a great pleasure to talk about the brand; I like such an open approach.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Photo credit: Baume &amp; Mercier, Horbiter\u00ae)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some time ago, we sat down with David Chaumet, CEO of Baume &amp; Mercier and asked him some questions regarding the present and future of the brand.
