Baume & Mercier Hampton Automatic M0A10522

The Baume & Mercier Hampton Automatic M0A10522 is a rectangular-cased steel watch with a silver mother-of-pearl dial, the brand's Art Deco line launched in 1994 — a shape entirely different from the round Clifton Baumatic and Riviera already in the catalog. It runs an automatic ETA 2671 movement with 38 hours of power reserve. We have no verified price observations for this reference as of today (n=0).

History

Baume & Mercier was founded in 1830 in Les Bois, Switzerland, and is one of the oldest Swiss watch manufactures in continuous operation, today part of the Richemont group.

The Hampton collection launched in 1994 with a softly rounded rectangular case recovering 1920s Art Deco aesthetics — a shape that stands apart from the rest of the brand's round-cased families, such as Clifton Baumatic or Riviera.

The M0A10522 runs an automatic ETA 2671 movement inside that rectangular case, with a silver opaline mother-of-pearl dial, black Arabic numerals, and ruthenium sword hands, on a black alligator leather strap with grey stitching.

This is Baume & Mercier's third reference in Cazador's catalog. Alongside the Clifton Baumatic (round dress watch with the in-house Baumatic movement) and the Riviera (round sport watch with an integrated bracelet), the Hampton brings the only non-round case shape from the brand to the catalog, a direct heir to its historic Art Deco line.
