Story & Heritage
Founded in 1830, Baume & Mercier is one of the historic names of Swiss watchmaking. Throughout its history, the maison has developed a reputation for combining traditional Swiss craftsmanship with refined, wearable design.

The Hampton collection became particularly recognizable for its rectangular architecture and Art Deco influence. Rather than following the conventional round-watch format, the Hampton uses strong vertical lines and carefully balanced proportions to create an immediately identifiable silhouette.
This example captures that philosophy particularly well. The elongated polished case frames a contemporary black dial, while the oversized applied numerals and geometric indexes give the watch a distinctive architectural presence.
Its Swiss quartz movement also makes it particularly practical for everyday use, while the sapphire crystal and stainless-steel construction reflect the quality expected from Baume & Mercier.

A refined Swiss timepiece for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a distinctive rectangular watch with strong design identity and the heritage of one of Switzerland’s established watchmaking houses.
