Baume & Mercier, Hampton, MOAO8440, Women's

The Hampton, first introduced in 1994, and inspired by a much older model, has long been the classic "tank watch," and is one of Baume & Mercier's best-selling lines. The Hampton's dial dimensions fall elegantly into the golden ratio of 1-to-1.6180339, which is also referred to as the "divine proportion." The symbol for Phi, which Baume & Mercier has adopted as its own, is the Greek symbol for the golden ratio, and refers to perfection and balance. In the Baume & Mercier Hampton line, you'll notice it placed precisely at 12 o'clock.

The Hampton name, however, represents more than a stylish timepiece. It's also a reference to a certain lifestyle, namely the laid-back, carefree spirit of the Hamptons, the beach resort area of New York's Long Island. Baume & Mercier compares this locale to its design philosophy: the combination of traditional charm, reflected in the old wooden beach houses and year-round residents mixed with the fresh summer influx of refuge-seeking New Yorkers: a perfect equilibrium of tradition and modernity.
