Of all of Baume & Mercier’s collections, the Hampton line perhaps most strongly embraces the brand’s inherent DNA and philosophy. In this recently re-vamped and updated series, relaxed and seaside living, as well as authenticity and lineage, are the unmistakable core messages. This stylish and uniquely alluring collection for both women and men features a refined design and timeless appeal. The Hampton Men’s line was missing just one attribute: a stainless steel bracelet.  Thus, to complete the men’s line in style and to propose a duo offer complementary to the women’s Hampton metal bracelet watch, 2012 saw Baume & Mercier release two new appealing automatic models with an ergonomic integrated polished and satin-finished bracelet with its new triple folding security clasp. While the Hampton line garners additional models for 2012, the most scintillating news comes in the form of a new bracelet for two men’s automatic timepieces.  Measuring 45 x 32.3mm, the new watches house the self-winding ETA 2895 calibre with 27 jewels, and offer a small seconds counter at 6:00 and a date display at 3:00. The new integrated bracelet design features polished- and satin-finished steel links and a triple folding security clasp. The watches are equipped with anti-glare and scratch-resistant shaped sapphire crystals and decorated case backs, fixed with four screws, which can be engraved to celebrate special moments.  Water resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), the newest watches are a bold statement in urban chic attire. The Hampton 10047 features a silver-colored dial with a combination of sun satin-finished and opaline zones.  The dial is bedecked with riveted Arabic numerals and entrancing blued steel hands. The Hampton 10048 features a dial with a combination of sun satin-finished anthracite and opaline black zones.  The dial is bedecked with riveted Arabic numerals and entrancing rhodium-plated hands. These models are presently available across the Middle East.
