From filigree to colorful: The Baume & Mercier Hampton collection
Noble, classic and multifaceted: that's how you could describe the Baume & Mercier Hampton collection in three words. The slim watches in stainless steel, rose gold or titanium cases are available in numerous designs, with the focus sometimes on timeless elegance, sometimes on colorful extravagance.
The models with a metal strap with large links or in Milanese style are suited to the taste of those watch wearers who want a watch with a truly graceful look with a little touch of modern zeitgeist. Those who want to underline the unmistakably luxurious appearance of the watches can choose a reference with diamonds or a model with a mother-of-pearl dial. If, on the other hand, you want to wear the Hampton primarily for a casual look in everyday life, the no-frills versions with a leather strap are an obvious choice.
Speaking of leather straps: Some references to the Hampton come from the colorful leather strap, the color of which - either deep blue or burgundy - is reflected in the dial. These special models do not have indices and therefore appear particularly "clean" on the one hand, but on the other hand, thanks to the glitter varnish on the dial, they also have a playful, almost mystical aura.
Quartz or automatic: The heart of Hampton luxury watches
The Hampton collection has several facets, not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of the movement. While a precise quartz movement does its work inside some models, other references are equipped with an automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. Which drive the keen watch fan chooses is primarily a question of type, because all Hampton timepieces work precisely and reliably.
When it comes to complications, most Hampton watches for him and her are rather reserved. A large part of the collection is limited to displaying hours and minutes. But the product line also includes more complicated versions, which sometimes feature a small second, date display and day/night display. The additional functional elements of these references fit seamlessly into the dial and give the watches a more practical, technical touch.
Baume & Mercier Hampton: A watch with rough edges
The main feature that immediately catches the eye when looking at the Hampton is certainly the rectangular shape of the case, which creates an image that is less familiar to the eye than the circular design. This shape allows the Hampton to always appear slim and delicate, regardless of the dimensions. The range of available sizes extends from a dainty 35 x 22 millimeters to a proud 48 x 31 millimeters, which means that the timepiece fits proportionally to delicate women's wrists and wider men's wrists. This makes the timelessly chic luxury watch a real all-rounder that accompanies men and women equally stylishly through everyday life, to the office and on special occasions.
