For the SIHH 2015, Baume & Mercier unveils two timepieces. WorldTempus introduced a couple of days ago the Clifton Automatic Big Date and Power Reserve. We present today two Hampton Automatic watches.
With a new and sleek design, they include the aesthetic attributes for which this collection is well-known, particularly the recessed surfaces located at 3 and 9 o’clock highlighting its unique domed watch crystal. These watches have a Swiss manufacture automatic movement, which can be seen through its transparent case back.
Hampton 10155
Simple and sophisticated at the same time, this new watch is available with a 31 mm x 47 mm rectangular case - and only 10 mm thick - in satin-finished polished steel, perfectly adapted to contemporary wear and water-resistant to 50m.
A quintessential timepiece for city dwellers, this piece features an off-white dial displaying the hour, minutes and seconds, the blued steel tip of the hands reinforcing the traditional character. The date is shown through a simple window at 6 o’clock. The watch comes on a black alligator strap with a steel folding security buckle.
Hampton 10156
The Hampton 10156 offers the same features, with the exception of the gold hands and indexes, and the brown alligator strap.
With a subtly tapered profile and dials boasting refined finishes, the two Hampton models showcase their character and distinction, and perfectly match a suit, discreetly slipped onto the wrist under a shirt.
