Inspiration
The museum piece from the 1940s, with its obvious classicism tempered by the delicacy of the case and a curved cave side, the satined domed volume and the enhanced curved sapphire crystal, is an ideal foundation on which to build a new standard for shaped watches. The watch has a rectangular shape while giving due attention to comfort on the wrist, for a piece that is as pleasant to look at as it is to wear. The Hampton spirit has already been breathed into these delicate, architectural lines.

In the spirit
of The Hamptons
It was natural for Baume & Mercier to turn to the seaside to embody its new area of expression. The Hamptons, where the passing of eternity is measured by the rhythm of the surf, is the perfect place for a remembrance of things past. Above all, the seaside living in the Hamptons evokes a lifestyle that bears a close relationship to the Maison's values of authenticity and continuity.
