At Watches & Wonders 2025, Baume & Mercier invites us into its world of beautifully balanced timekeeping. Across three standout collections – Hampton, Riviera, and Clifton – the Maison presents timepieces that speak to life’s many rhythms: soft and slow, bold and driven, or elegantly composed. Whether you’re catching golden hour on the terrace or counting seconds with intention, these watches are designed to meet the moment.
Hampton: Rectangular elegance for everyday rituals
The Hampton collection continues to refine its feminine voice. This year, Baume & Mercier returns to its iconic 1990s rectangular silhouette with a fresh take on 1920s Art Deco style – soft geometry, minimal dials, and materials that echo quiet luxury.
The Hampton M0A10795 feels like modern sculpture: a small 35 x 22.2 mm polished steel case paired with a silvery opaline dial, blue glaive hands, and elegant Arabic numerals at 12 and 6. A cabochon-set crown in blue spinel offers a subtle nod to femininity and symbolism. Driven by a quartz movement with six years of autonomy, it’s easy to wear – and easy to love.
Other highlights include the Hampton M0A10760 in all-black lacquer, channelling the energy of a little black dress, and two gold-accented variations: M0A10752 with an 18k rose gold case and alligator strap, and M0A10751, which pairs stainless steel with bi-colour Milanese mesh links. For those drawn to colour, deep bordeaux (M0A10673) and blue (M0A10674) cases offer a vibrant counterpoint. Diamond-set models shimmer softly against navy dials – wearable glamour with a celestial touch.
Riviera: A sport-chic icon, recharged
The Riviera collection embodies the spirit of the French coast – dynamic, sun-drenched, and effortlessly styled. At Watches & Wonders, Baume & Mercier introduces four new chronographs, each one blending vintage design codes with contemporary edge.
The standout is the Riviera M0A10828, a limited-edition flyback chronograph in brushed gold tones with a telemeter and tachymeter scale. It’s bold, technical, and built for precision, with a 41mm dodecagonal case and 42-hour power reserve. The blued steel hands and Phi-logo details elevate its sport functionality to a statement in movement.
In contrast, the Riviera M0A10827 plays with black-and-white balance, offering a 1950s-style dial with sunray finishing and sapphire-backed case. The M0A10825 and M0A10826 – in black and blue respectively – reinterpret the classic Riviera for today’s pace, with day-date chronograph functions, 48-hour power reserves, and tool-free interchangeable straps.
Each model in the Riviera chronograph line speaks to those who embrace life's tempo – whether it's a coastal run, a long lunch, or a moment of stillness in the sun.
Clifton: A gentleman’s vintage, redefined
The Clifton Baumatic returns in three new iterations that revisit the grace of 1950s watchmaking. With slimmed-down 39mm cases and domed sapphire crystals, they capture the essence of mid-century elegance, but with thoroughly modern inner workings.
The Clifton M0A10802 in satin-finished rose gold is timeless refinement, pairing a grained off-white dial with gold-plated details and a warm brown alligator strap. The M0A10778, limited to 350 pieces, leans into vintage charm with a salmon-toned opaline dial — soft, radiant, and utterly collectible. And for cooler palettes, the M0A10771 offers a deep blue gradient dial in polished steel, framed by white accents and mounted on a rich navy alligator strap.
Each is powered by the in-house Baumatic movement – anti-magnetic, accurate, and boasting a five-day power reserve. Technically impressive, aesthetically restrained, and built to last.
From slim silhouettes to high-performance flybacks, Baume & Mercier's 2025 offering reaffirms that time, at its most beautiful, is time well considered. Whether it’s through heritage shape, sport function or timeless craft, each piece is designed not just to tell the time — but to honour it.
