Hampden Watch

Blue looks especially good when the rest of the watch knows how to keep up.

The Algren in navy has that easy balance of color, texture, and clean design that makes it feel put together without looking overworked.

A meaningful gift usually comes down to what’s built into it.

We were honored to help shape something so personal for Jay’s son, and even more glad to know it arrived with the kind of presence the moment called for.

Not just for him.

The Dixon brings a bolder side to Hampden: bright, polished, and easy to style in a way that feels sharp, modern, and a little unexpected.

Thank you to the American Dental Association for joining us in Chicago for the First Hand watchmaking workshop.

The experience includes a tour of our historic watch collection, followed by time at the bench assembling a Swiss mechanical 6498 movement, casing the watch, and more. It’s a hands-on way to get closer to the craft and leave with something personal at the end of the day.

Louis Sullivan’s idea that form follows function inspired the Sullivan, and it shows.

Clean design, useful complications, and a patented Casecap® that turns the back of the watch into space for something personal, whether that’s a date, a symbol, or a design that means something to you.

This version of the Algren has a really nice balance to it.

The blue dial catches the light in all the right ways, while the warm accents and mesh strap keep everything feeling balanced, clean, and easy to wear.

The Algren, out in the wild.

Minimal, wearable, and finished with the kind of detail that works just as well on a casual day as it does dressed up a bit.

Thanks to for the wrist shot.

What’s on the back matters, too.

The Civil War inscription on this watch’s caseback brings a sense of history, memory, and individuality to the piece. It transforms from a timepiece into an heirloom.

Two takes on the Algren.

One brings a warmer finish, the other keeps things crisp and classic. Same thoughtful design but just a different feel on the wrist.
