To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Hampton collection, Baume & Mercier is launching a new timepiece with streamlined dimensions and pricing.
Baume & Mercier has expanded its Hampton collection, which is based on a model designed in the 1940s, with a new watch available in two versions: one with a caramel calf leather strap with ivory stitching and the other with a black alligator leather strap.
This anniversary edition watch has daintier dimensions than its predecessors, particularly in regards to the width of its rectangular, polished steel case, which measures just 8.1mm.
Equipped with a quartz movement, the new timepiece has a white dial with Arabic numerals. The hands indicate the hours and minutes, while the date is visible in a window at 6 o’clock.
Baume & Mercier is offering the Hampton 10154 (with black alligator leather) at $2,070 and The Hampton 10153 (with caramel calf leather) at $1,780.
