Baume & Mercier's : the watch that became a bestseller

Baume & Mercier's iconic watch, Hampton, celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2009 with a new collection

Baume & Mercier's iconic watch, Hampton, celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2009 with a new collection that was presented last January at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, the world's top timewear show which showcases limited editions, one-off pieces and the latest advances in luxury timewear.

Created in 1994, the Hampton's rectangular steel case revolutionised existing production codes and became an immediate bestseller. Inspired by the rectangular rose gold watch which Baume & Mercier launched in 1960, the Hampton collection has evolved through numerous variations. Square or curved, it had always stayed true to its identity composed of a mixture of watch-making tradition and contemporary design.

The new Hampton collection features three models: Hampton Classic, Hampton Manchette and Hampton Magnum, available in Livigno exclusively from Gioielleria Fabbrini. The Hampton Classic's design echoes the unadulterated elegance of the original Hampton. Femininity and glamour are the distinguishing traits of the Hampton Manchette, while the Hampton Magnum offers a sophisticatedly sporty variation on the theme, now larger than ever and enriched with an all-white lady's version.
