Particularly, in the latter category, the company presented a number of noteworthy versions at the recent\u00a0<strong>Watches and Wonders 2025<\/strong>, including the reference 10827, which is mainly distinguished by the combination of a white dial and black counters. Mainly, because several details make it appealing and place this\u00a0<strong>Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph\u00a0<\/strong>as an excellent choice that balances aesthetics, functionality and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>BAUME &#038; MERCIER AND THE ART OF THE CHRONOGRAPH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is no coincidence that Baume &#038; Mercier continues to develop its\u00a0<strong>chronographs\u00a0<\/strong>offer. Its mastery of this type of timepiece dates back to the end of the 19th century, but it was during the last century that the Maison perfected its expertise in the field. From the end of the 1930s and throughout the\u00a01940s\u00a0and 1950s, it developed chronographs with tachometric and telemetric scales \u2013 culminating in a model that is still sought-after today, with moon phases and triple date.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-1-3.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important step was the acquisition of\u00a0<strong>C.H. Meylan Watch SA\u00a0<\/strong>in 1952, which allowed Baume &#038; Mercier to produce its chronograph movements in house. The company thus continued to make watches equipped not only with the chronograph function, but also with complex functions such as a complete calendar or moon phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chronographs\u2019 development affected almost all of the Maison&#8217;s collections and characterised both the more classic collections and the modern, sporty ones \u2013 which saw a return to technical chronographs in the early 1990s. It was at this moment, in 1993, that the chronograph also made its appearance\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0<strong>Riviera\u00a0<\/strong>collection, on the occasion of the line&#8217;s 20th anniversary. In doing so, Baume &#038; Mercier covered further territory with regard to its expertise in chronography.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>THE CASE OF THE RIVIERA CHRONOGRAPH 10827<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An expertise that is highlighted in the reference 10827, together with the 10828 \u2013 the star of the last Geneva fair. Baume &#038; Mercier calls it a 1950s-style version, although in our opinion it exudes modernity. Thanks also and above all to the aesthetic codes of the Riviera collection. A\u00a0<strong>sporty-chic style\u00a0<\/strong>inspired by outdoor life on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur. The main and distinctive visual feature is the dodecagonal case and bezel \u2013 a case that, on this chronograph, is made of steel, measures 41 mm in diameter and is just under 14 mm thick.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph 10827\" class=\"wp-image-26362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_01.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for other models in the collection, the case and bezel finishes play casually with alternating satin and polished finishes. In particular, the bezel has a<strong>\u00a0satin-finished soleil\u00a0<\/strong>upper part and a polished side part, which rests on a case that is itself satin-finished. This type of finish continues throughout the three-link bracelet, closed with a butterfly folding clasp. The choice to polish the inner joints of the links is a nice touch, giving the bracelet a remarkable sense of dynamism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>VINTAGE AESTHETICS BY BAUME &#038; MERCIER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interplay is not only between the polished and satin finishes (the latter are also applied to the screw-down crown and chronograph pushers) but also between the\u00a0<strong>colour codes\u00a0<\/strong>that distinguish this Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph, namely\u00a0<strong>white and black<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph 10827\" class=\"wp-image-26363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_06.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph 10827\" class=\"wp-image-26364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_09.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Black\u00a0<\/strong>like the 30-minute counters at 3 o&#8217;clock, the 12-hour counter at 6 o&#8217;clock and the continuous seconds counter at 9 o&#8217;clock.

As aficionados know, this is a tried and tested and well-made movement derived from the 7750. We are therefore talking about a 28,800 vibration\/hour chronograph with about 48 hours of autonomy, and hours, minutes, seconds and date functions, in addition to the chronograph. The date is adjusted by pressing a pusher discreetly recessed in the case middle at 10 o&#8217;clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph 10827\" class=\"wp-image-26369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_15-1.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Baume &#038; Mercier Riviera Chronograph 10827\" class=\"wp-image-26370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baume_Mercier_Riviera_Chrono_Watch_Insanity_14.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this Riviera Chronograph, Baume &#038; Mercier has chosen to make the movement visible through a <strong>sapphire crystal back<\/strong>.

It is significant to recall the region\u2019s\u00a0<em>art de vivre<\/em>, which combines carefreeness, well-being, desire for freedom and aspiration to beauty. Even more interesting, however, is to demonstrate how one can create an excellent, well-made and, above all, competitively priced product. Fine watchmaking lovers live for their dreams and passions, but also like to put them on their wrist every now and then.
