Baume & Mercier adds the smallest size, the "Hampton XS," to its rectangular-cased "Hampton" collection.

Baume & Mercier has added the Hampton XS, the smallest size in its Hampton collection of rectangular watches. Significantly smaller than existing models, this new model retains the geometric case shape while adopting a new minimalist dial layout, pursuing a modern elegance.

A fusion of a sculptural dial and a structured silhouette.

　The brand has announced the "Hampton XS" as a new option in its "Hampton" collection. The case size is designed to be 28mm in height, 17.75mm in width, and 6.3mm in thickness, which is a significant downsizing compared to the smallest size of the existing model (34.9mm in height, 22.2mm in width, and 6.92mm in thickness).

　The revamped dial design is also noteworthy. Faceted on all four sides and featuring a glossy sunburst satin finish, it creates a unique and three-dimensional appearance. Furthermore, the minimalist layout, devoid of indices, further emphasizes the collection's iconic rectangular outline.

　The lineup includes a total of four variations with different decorations and straps. The basic model with a silver dial and the black dial model feature a newly adopted rhombus mesh bracelet. It offers a jewelry-like look and excellent flexibility, resulting in a comfortable wearing experience.

　On the other hand, there are also chic models with taupe gray calfskin straps, and striking variations with contrasting rose gold cases paired with black calfskin straps.

　All models are equipped with a quartz movement that has a battery life of approximately 5 years, making them perfectly practical for everyday use.
