The Baume et Mercier Hampton women's watch is recognisable from afar by its rectangular case. The models have quartz movements in an elegant 5 ATM build. If you want a different size or dial from what you see in the webshop, as an official Baume et Mercier dealer we can order it for you. The watch is delivered to your door with the manufacturer's warranty, and our own watch service changes the battery.
What makes the Hampton's case shape special?
Most watches are round, but the Hampton is rectangular, which gives it a touch of art deco character. On the wrist it looks slimmer and more elongated, which is why many choose it to wear with a blouse, a suit or evening wear. It isn't flashy, yet people notice it.
What to look out for when choosing a Hampton
- Size: a rectangular case sits differently on the wrist than a round one. On a narrower wrist the smaller version usually suits better, so check both the width and the length of the case on the product page.
- Strap or metal bracelet: a leather strap looks more classic, a metal bracelet more modern. You can have the strap changed later by our own watch service.
- Water: it's 5 ATM, so hand-washing and rain are fine, but take it off before swimming.
What other Baume et Mercier women's watches are there?
If you'd prefer a round case, see the full list of Baume et Mercier women's watches, where you'll also find the sportier Riviera women's models and the Joia. You can see all of the brand's series on the Baume et Mercier page.
The Hampton as a gift
The Hampton is a good choice if you want a watch that works like a piece of jewellery and won't look dated years from now. If you don't know the recipient's wrist size exactly, a leather strap carries less risk than a metal bracelet. If you need a different version of the model you've picked, write to us and we'll see what we can order.
