The Hampton collection is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and for this special occasion it is introducing two new steel watches with a self-winding movement.

With a new and sleek design, the two Hampton models include the aesthetic attributes for which this iconic collection is well-known, particularly the recessed surfaces located at 3 and 9 o’clock tastefully highlighting its unique domed watch crystal.
These watches house a Swiss manufacture automatic movement, which can be seen through its transparent case back.

These rectangular watches with structured curves benefit from this lightening to follow the gentle curve of the wrist. Their clean, off-white faces light up with the passage of sword-shaped hands featuring a blued or gold finish, a nice tribute to the watchmaking tradition and history.
