This model combines the timeless elegance of the Hampton collection with the craftsmanship of Baume & Mercier, a prestigious Swiss watchmaking house established in Geneva in 1830. The watch features a striking silver-tone dial with a combination of finely engraved vertical and diagonal textures, polished applied hour markers, distinctive Arabic numerals at 3 and 9 o'clock, and the iconic Baume & Mercier Phi emblem at 12 o'clock. Its elegant black skeletonised hands contrast beautifully with the silver dial, while a discreet date window at 6 o'clock completes the harmonious design. The polished stainless steel rectangular case has gently curved contours, creating a sophisticated profile that sits comfortably on the wrist.
