Product Information

Full details

The Baume and Mercier Hampton watch is designed for individuals who appreciate the intersection of classic Art Deco inspiration and modern Swiss horology. Its key strength lies in its iconic rectangular profile and reliable automatic movement, which draws energy from your daily motion to provide seamless timekeeping. While it serves as a versatile piece for both business and formal events, users should note that the watch requires consistent wear or a dedicated winder to maintain its power reserve given the automatic mechanical nature of the movement.

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic mechanical watch that is powered by the kinetic energy of your wrist movement.

How long will the watch stay running if I take it off?

Once fully wound, the power reserve typically lasts between 38 to 42 hours, depending on the specific caliber internal settings.

Can I swim with this watch?

The Hampton is designed as a dress watch; it is generally recommended to keep it away from excessive water exposure or submersion to preserve the leather or delicate finish.

How do I set the time?

Pull the crown out to the furthest position, rotate to set the hands, and push it back in until it is flush against the case.

Is the watch suitable for small wrists?

The rectangular shape of the Hampton series is often praised for its ergonomic fit, making it suitable for a variety of wrist sizes.

Troubleshooting

The watch has stopped keeping time

The watch likely needs more kinetic energy. Wear the watch for a full day or manually wind the crown clockwise to boost the power reserve.

The watch is running fast or slow

Mechanical watches can be affected by temperature or position. If the deviation is significant, it may require professional regulation at a service center.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive and elegant rectangular case design
  • Self-winding automatic movement requires no battery
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for formal and professional settings
  • High-quality construction and build standards

Cons

  • Automatic movement requires frequent wear to maintain timekeeping
  • Rectangular geometry may feel different than traditional round watches on the wrist
  • Mechanical movements are generally less shock-resistant than quartz counterparts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Hampton watch, gently pull out the crown to set the time, then push it back in firmly to ensure water resistance. Because this is a mechanical automatic watch, if the piece has stopped, manually wind the crown clockwise about 20-30 times to build up initial power before setting the time.

Care instructions include:

  • Avoid magnetism: Keep the watch away from strong magnets (like those in speakers or electronics) to maintain timing accuracy.
  • Regular cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the case and crystal to keep the finish looking polished.
  • Servicing: As a mechanical timepiece, it is recommended to have the movement serviced every 3-5 years by an authorized technician to ensure the internal components remain lubricated and functional.
