Hampton Novelties

The Baume & Mercier Hampton collection takes its design roots from the forward-looking 1920s, the era of ultra-slim pocket watches for men and jewelry watches for women that are worn as rings or necklaces. Paying homage to the Art Deco movement with an interplay of classicism and modernity, rectangular and rounded lines, the new Hampton collection comprises six novelties, with a selection of dial colors, strap options and a dual time.

The Hampton Large ref. M0A10666 is a stately, dressy piece, in a large case to accommodate a self-winding movement with grande date and dual time complication. Framed by a polished steel case, the opaline and grained slate dial provides a handsome contrast to the rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and indexes. The lines of the faceted indexes, railroad minute track and placement of the dial elements emphasize the sleek, athletic symmetry of the watch. Without crowding the dial, a second time zone is displayed at six o’clock with day/night indicator. Turning the watch over, the sapphire crystal display back reveals a decorated self-winding movement with 42 hours of power reserve.

Ref. M0A10672 with self-winding movement features a clean opaline and grained silver dial without date, with applied black ruthenium Arabic numerals and indexes. A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the decorated movement, with a power reserve of 38 hours. The quartz version (ref. M0A10671) features a gradated blue dial, and rhodium-plated riveted numbers and indexes; a solid caseback provides space for original engraving to personalize the piece. All the new Hampton watches offer simple tool-free strap interchangeability.

Classima Novelties

The Classima collection represents the design principles of Baume & Mercier distilled into a round-cased watch. Simple, casual and elegant, the Classima is also Baume & Mercier’s proposition for consumers acquiring their first Swiss timepiece. Four new references are offered for 2022, in a variety of colorways and strap options.

Designed for the outdoors, ref. M0A10695 and M0A10696 are three-hand models with date, dressed in sandy earth tones and verdant olive, respectively. In a polished 42mm stainless steel case, each reference features a self-winding movement with 38 hours of power reserve, with canvas straps.
