Baume et Mercier Watches – Riviera, Classima, Clifton, Hampton

Baume et Mercier watches are available in a wide choice with us: men's and women's models, with both automatic and quartz movements. The backbone of the range is the sporty Riviera, but Classima, Clifton and Hampton are included too. As an official dealer we supply original watches with the manufacturer's warranty, and our own watch service takes care of strap changes or water resistance checks later.
What kind of brand is Baume et Mercier?
Baume et Mercier is a Swiss watch brand: it started in 1830 in Les Bois, in the Swiss Jura, under the name Frères Baume, and received its present name in 1918 in Geneva. The Riviera appeared in 1973 and is regarded as one of the world's first steel sports watches. For us this is the "entry-level luxury" brand: Swiss craftsmanship and manufacture heritage, yet below the prices of the very top luxury tier.
Which Baume et Mercier series should you choose?
- Riviera – the widest line in our range: a twelve-sided bezel, a steel case, and many 10 atm pieces you can wear for swimming too. The most versatile for everyday.
- Classima – the brand's entry level; a clean, elegant men's watch, mostly with a quartz movement.
- Clifton – an automatic, suit-ready piece from the higher price range.
- Hampton – the women's models with a rectangular case and a quartz movement.
What determines the price of a Baume et Mercier watch?
Mainly the series and the movement. The quartz Classima and the women's models form the entry level, the Riviera sits in the middle band, and the automatic Cliftons make up the higher category. The material (steel, two-tone, leather or metal bracelet) and complications such as a chronograph also matter. If you know your budget in advance, you can filter by price in the webshop, or write to us and we will recommend only those that fit.
Women's or men's Baume et Mercier?
The choice is wider in men's watches, and you can see them all together on the Baume et Mercier men's watches page. For women we mostly offer quartz models, which you will find among the women's Baume et Mercier watches.
With a watch like this, size and wearability are decisive: check the case diameter and thickness on the product page and compare them with a watch you already own. If you cannot decide between two models, write to us and we will explain the differences.
