Thank you again for a wonderful Saturday spending time with my son that I’ll never forget. The entire team made this experience wonderful. The complements I have received on the watch speaks volumes about the company. I look forward to receiving emails on future workshops. I usually don’t wear a watch to work because I’m sitting at a desk, but I just couldn’t leave my Hampden watch sitting in a drawer.

I thoroughly enjoyed Hampden's workshop where I built my own watch. Putting together the movement and then having the balance wheel come to life as you set it in place was fantastic. That is when you knew you had put it together correctly. The joy I have gotten wearing this watch surpasses all other watches I have historically owned. I am confident that when Hampden opens up a workshop on another watch, I will attend. What a fantastic way to engage in your love for watches.

I’ve been deeply interested in watches for over a decade so when I saw that Hampden was offering a one-day watchmaking class I jumped at the opportunity. What a fabulous experience! You can watch all the videos and animations about how a watch works but you can’t truly understand and appreciate how intricate and finely wrought a watch mechanism is until you actually have the hands-on experience of grasping and assembling the gears and levers. The student-instructor ratio is 2-1 and all the instructors are friendly and ready to jump in with their expertise to lend a hand or an encouraging word. I left, not only with a beautiful watch, but with a deep appreciation for the time-telling machine on my wrist. No previous experience is necessary. I highly recommend the class whether you’re an enthusiast or first-timer.
