Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sleek lines, contrasting tones, and uncompromising quality define this Men's Hampton Automatic Watch from reliable manufacturer Baume & Mercier. Framed by a polished stainless steel case, the rectangular silver dial features a linear detail pattern, tapered bar indexes, an outside minute track, and distinct black hour and minute hands. With a seconds sub-dial, a date display just under 12 o'clock, and an annual calendar tucked between eight and nine o'clock, this stylish timepiece has all the information you need. A soft leather strap wraps comfortably around the wrist and contrasts with the bold tones of the dial. Water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters), this quality timepiece can accompany casual or dress wear.

The Baume & Mercier Story

Baume & Mercier has a rich history in storied tradition of Swiss watchmaking, now over 170 years. In 1830, brothers Louis Victor and Pierre-Joseph-Celestin Baume established the Baume Freres Watch firm in the Swiss Jura region--the heart of the Swiss watch industry. As business flourished in Europe a grandson of the founder, William Baume met Paul Mercier, a great lover of the arts and in 1918 they created a business partnership. The contrast of the rigorous, precise Baume with the artistic, free thinking Mercier fused form and function to create the traditions of perfection, quality, and luxury that still exist today.

In 1964, Baume & Mercier registered the Greek letter PHI as its brand logo, and it continues to be present on all Baume & Mercier designs. A symbol of the golden ratio and Leonard de Vinci's theory of proportion, it represents aesthetic elegance based on "divine proportions" that remain the brand's cardinal values.

the designers at Baume & Mercier utilize the goldmine of the company's over 175 years of watch-making history--from the oval of a crown to the graphics of a dial--to create the aesthetic contours of new timepieces. Inspired by a rectangular pink gold watch introduced by Baume & Mercier in 1960, the signature Hampton line of watches was created as a blend of watchmaking tradition and contemporary design. And the company still lives by the original slogan of the Baume brothers when they started Baume Freres: "Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality."

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant old-world design, December 22, 2011

This review is from: Baume & Mercier Men's 8820 Hampton Automatic Watch (Watch)
This Baume & Mercier 8820 Hampton automatic watch is an elegant dess watch done in an art-deco style. The smallish rectangular design runs counter to the current large watch trend -- witness the larger Rolex Dajejust II & Day-Date II. This ultimately timeless design will hold up nicely well after the current large watch fad is over.

This particular model features an annual calendar movement that you'll only need to correct once a year for leap year. Sounds like a bigger benefit than it is, since you'll need to adjust for time about once a week anyway. The level of accuracy I observed is is about 8-10 seconds a day, not bad for an automatic movement that's not chronometer certified. Remember, if you really wanted a 100% accurate watch with perpetual calendar, you'd have gone with one of the excellent Japanese solar-atomic jobs.

On balance, I'm very happy with my Hampton -- it looks great, feels exquisitely finished and will last you a long time. For those unfamiliar with the Baume & Mercier, it's very old and respected Swiss brand made by the same company that also makes Cartier, Jaeger LeCoultre, IWC and several other top Swiss watches.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality - Don't buy this brand!, February 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baume & Mercier Men's 8820 Hampton Automatic Watch (Watch)
Less than one month after receiving the watch, the minute and hour hands no longer moved, yet the second hand continued. Looks great but DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
