Our Inspiration

The Sullivan, named for Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, elevates watchmaking much like he elevated the modern skyscraper. Its patented casecap® becomes a canvas for personal stories, while the sapphire exhibition caseback offers a glimpse of the Swiss movement

YOUR WATCH. YOUR STORY.

Most watches offer the opportunity to engrave a few words. The Sullivan offers an entire canvas.

We've invented and patented a removable Casecap® which transforms the full caseback into space for storytelling. Whether it’s a hand-drawn sketch, a meaningful date, a symbol of identity, or a note from someone you love — this is personalization without limits.

    Love my new 4th generation Hampden watch!!

    The look and feel of my Sullivan watch is brilliant! The hands of the watch are unique as well as having the power reserve make this watch fun to wear. Speaking of wearing the Sullivan it comes with three watch straps (1 stainless and 2 leather) which is always fun to switch out and have a totally different looking time piece on my wrist.

    The hardest aspect about the Sullivan is deciding what design I wanted on the watch back! With all the options and recommendations from my 2 kids I decided on an iconic comic cover!

    The easiest part of the purchase of my Hampden time piece was working With Daniel! Chatting with him live on video was instrumental in the design of my watch back!

    I would recommend this watch to anyone who wants a quality time piece, a piece of American history and just a fabulous overall time piece!

    Hampden Watch

    Fantastic product and fantastic service! We ordered a Hampden Watch as a gift for our adult son. Hampden's design department worked with us to create a complex and unique design to inscribe on the on the back of the timepiece with a quote from one of our favorite poems. The watch is absolutely stunning, and the personalized inscription makes the watch a jewel that will stay in the family forever. The watch was delivered in a beautiful arrangement befitting the presentation of an important gift.

    I love this watch!!

    I can’t say enough good things about Hampden watch! I have gotten so many compliments on the watch and love telling the history of the watch and the company. It’s definitely a conversation starter and people love that it all started in Chicago. I also did a custom engraved case back and it came out amazing!

    Wow wow wow! My favorite timepiece yet :)

    Before I talk about how much I love this watch, I wanted to put some context in place that I'm a custom clothing designer and EXTREMELY PARTICULAR (that's an understatement lol) about the jewelry, clothing, shoes and head-ware that I wear. EXTREMELY! Given that I pretty much only wear the things that I make, the fact that Hampden has the ability to custom engrave the case back was a no-brainer for me to pick up one of their watches. I love this timepiece so much that I actually asked them if we could do a partnership where I could gift my clients custom engraved watches at a certain threshold of spend...it's just too cool! Also, the fact that I can offer my clients the ability to custom engrave a case back as a gift or or a special occasion is unprecedented. Alright alright alright, now about the watch. It instantly became my everyday watch. I went with the white faced Model 1; classy, distinguished and baller as hell!!! I love how simple yet sophisticated it is. No offense to Rolex, but they're just too flashy and overstated for my taste...this piece checks all the boxes for me :)

    Stunning!

    What a beautiful top quality watch my wife got me for our anniversary! It is easily the new favorite and most meaningful watch in my collection. I will enjoy wearing it daily (with the quick release watch bands to change the style) and it will be an heirloom some day (with the brilliant removable personalized plate).
