The museum piece from the 1940s, with its obvious classicism tempered by the delicacy of the case and a curved cave side, the satined domed volume and the enhanced curved sapphire crystal, is an ideal foundation on which to build a new standard for shaped watches.

The watch has a rectangular shape while giving due attention to comfort on the wrist, for a piece that is as pleasant to look at as it is to wear.

The Hampton spirit has already been breathed into these delicate, architectural lines.
