Overview

There are certain designs in watchmaking that are simply timeless. Forms so elegant and perfectly proportioned that they transcend the whims of fashion and look as fresh today as they did 80 years ago. The rectangular, Art Deco-inspired dress watch is, without question, one of those immortal designs, and in our opinion, the Baume & Mercier Hampton collection is one of its most beautiful and successful modern interpretations.

Launched in 1994, the Hampton was born from a deep dive into Baume & Mercier’s own rich archives. The design was directly inspired by a classic, curvaceous rectangular watch the brand produced in the 1940s, during the golden age of the Art Deco style. With its focus on clean lines, geometric elegance, and ergonomic comfort, the Hampton masterfully captured the spirit of its vintage predecessor, re-introducing a classic and beloved form to a new generation of enthusiasts who appreciated its sophisticated, understated charm.

This particular Hampton, a Reference 65504, is a particularly glamorous and beautifully executed expression of the design. The immediate focal point is the stunning dial, crafted from a single piece of luminous mother-of-pearl. This natural material gives the watch an ethereal, shifting luster that is unique to each piece, creating a captivating play of color and light. Framing this incredible dial is a gracefully curved, tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, its vertical flanks (brancards) factory-set with two rows of brilliant, sparkling diamonds. This touch of fire adds a layer of undeniable luxury without ever feeling ostentatious. The elongated, stylized Roman numerals and skeletonized sword hands are pure Art Deco, while the symmetrical date window at 6 o’clock is a modern, practical, and well-balanced touch.

This watch is in excellent, beautifully preserved condition. The case is sharp, and the factory-set diamonds are all present and brilliant. The mother-of-pearl dial is flawless, and the original signed deployant clasp is still fitted to the alligator strap. Inside, a reliable and highly accurate Swiss quartz movement offers true “grab-and-go” convenience, making this an effortless choice for any occasion.
