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.
