The Baume & Mercier Riviera Chronograph Automatic [10826] combines the Riviera collection's iconic luxury sports-watch design with one of the most respected and proven automatic chronograph architectures in Swiss watchmaking.

For collectors seeking the perfect balance of everyday wearability, mechanical sophistication, and timeless styling, the Riviera Chronograph delivers an exceptionally compelling proposition. Its integrated stainless steel bracelet, distinctive twelve-sided bezel, and beautifully executed blue wave-pattern dial create a watch that feels equally at home in the office, on the weekend, or as part of a serious collection.

Originally introduced in 1973, the Riviera helped establish the luxury sports-watch category through its unmistakable geometric design and relaxed Mediterranean character. More than fifty years later, the collection remains one of the most recognizable and enduring designs in Swiss watchmaking.

The 10826 proudly continues that tradition while introducing the functionality and visual appeal of a mechanical chronograph.

The Beauty of the Blue Wave-Pattern Dial

The defining feature of the Riviera 10826 is its striking blue wave-pattern dial.

Inspired by the waters of the French Riviera, the dial delivers exceptional depth, texture, and visual energy. As light moves across the surface, the wave motif creates constantly changing reflections that bring the watch to life on the wrist.

The deep blue tone offers remarkable versatility while maintaining the sporty personality expected from a luxury chronograph.

Applied indexes, luminous hands, and contrasting chronograph registers ensure excellent readability while preserving the watch's sophisticated aesthetic.

The result is one of the most attractive dial executions in the entire Riviera collection.

Why Collectors Love Automatic Chronographs

The chronograph remains one of the most celebrated complications in mechanical watchmaking.

Beyond its ability to measure elapsed time, a chronograph introduces:

• Greater mechanical complexity
• Enhanced collector appeal
• Motorsport and aviation heritage
• Additional functionality
• A more dynamic dial layout

For many enthusiasts, the automatic chronograph represents the perfect blend of utility and traditional Swiss craftsmanship.

Proven Swiss Chronograph Engineering

Powering the Riviera 10826 is a Swiss automatic chronograph movement based on the highly respected Valjoux 7753 architecture.

Renowned throughout the industry for its durability, serviceability, and long-term reliability, this movement family has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted chronograph platforms in modern Swiss watchmaking.

Its robust construction and proven performance make it particularly well suited to a luxury sports watch designed for everyday use.

For many collectors, the reliability of the movement is one of the watch's greatest strengths.

Riviera Heritage Since 1973

Few luxury sports-watch collections possess the heritage and instantly recognizable identity of the Riviera.

Introduced in 1973, the collection became known for its distinctive twelve-sided bezel, integrated bracelet design, and unique combination of sportiness and elegance.

Today, the Riviera continues to offer a compelling alternative to more mainstream luxury sports watches while maintaining its own unmistakable character.

The 10826 represents one of the strongest expressions of that identity.
