 Baume and Mercier has recently enlarged its signature Hampton and Riviera watch collections, having based its new models upon the 'bigger is better' concept popular among other watchmaking brands and their consumers. No doubt, big-sized timepieces are becoming increasingly highly demanded nowadays. Both the Hampton XL Magnum and the Riviera XXL Magnum will meet the expectation of big-watch-lovers. The word 'Magnum' in the names of the new timepieces is derived from the Latin word 'magnus' meaning 'large'. The first look dropped at the new Hampton and Riviera watches for men will make one feel their masculinity expressed not only through their extra size but also the materials used. The cases of the Hampton XL Magnum and the Riviera XXL Magnum are crafted from satin-brushed polished steel while their bezels are produced from sapphire-blasted titanium. The timepieces go on black vulcanized rubber straps. Both timepieces boast 200-meter water-resistance. The new Hampton watch features a square case and a square black dial. Its case measures 34.1 mm in width and 45 mm in length. The second time zone function is displayed through a sub-dial placed at 6 o'clock. At 12 o'clock you will notice the Greek letter 'Phi' logo – a signature detail of Baume and Mercier watches expressing perfection of their design. Beneath 'Phi' there is a double window for the date function. The case back of the timepiece reveals a special view window that gives a fine opportunity to admire the heart of the Hampton watch - Cotes de Geneve-decorated automatic movement – Soprod TT651. The case of the new Riviera watch boasts a dodecagon shape with twelve sides. The shape of the watch's dial is round. The dial expresses the chronograph function through a 12-hour indicator subdial positioned at 6 o'clock, 30-minute indicator subdial placed at 12 o'clock and the subsidiary seconds featured at 9 o'clock. As for the date window, it is found at 3 o'clock. The case of the timepiece measures 43 mm. The Riviera is equipped with the ETA 7750 movement decorated by Cotes de Geneve pattern visible through the same viewing window in the case back. New Baume and Mercier Riviera and Hampton Magnum watches are aimed at those individuals who would like to own a big-sized, boldly designed timepiece characterized by supreme durability. These are fashionable watches created for everyday busy life or a variety of leisure activities. Having developed the timepieces, the 177-year-old company, has proved it is successful in satisfying public demands as for the latest horological fashion trends.
